The Mayor's Committee for People with Disabilities convened on June 13, 2025, to discuss various initiatives aimed at enhancing accessibility and support for individuals with disabilities in Austin. The meeting began with a report that the committee is required to file annually, ensuring compliance with regulatory obligations.

A significant topic of discussion was the proposal to expand the availability of relay services throughout the city. Committee member Gabriel emphasized the importance of this service, stating it would greatly benefit the community. He expressed a desire to bring this proposal to the floor for consideration in either July or August.

The committee also discussed the need for updates from the Joint Inclusion Committee and the Disability Event Working Group. Vice Chair Meyer suggested including an update from the Austin Transit Partnership, acknowledging the potential overlap with their upcoming meeting scheduled for the day before the committee's next gathering.

Additionally, Gabriel mentioned a pending presentation regarding CapMetro's disciplinary policy, noting that he had not yet received a response from CapMetro. He plans to inquire about this during the Access Advisory Committee meeting in July.

The meeting concluded with a discussion about the scheduling of the Blues on the Green event, which has been moved to August. The committee agreed to add this as an agenda item for future discussions.

Overall, the meeting highlighted the committee's commitment to improving services and support for individuals with disabilities, with several actionable items set for follow-up in the coming months.
