摘要：	The U.S. Access Board is an independent Federal agency that promotes equality for people with disabilities through leadership in accessible design. The Board develops guidelines and standards covering accessibility in the built environment, transportation, and information and communication technologies. Its design specifications play a critical role in fulfilling the promises of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and other Federal laws guaranteeing the rights of people with disabilities. In addition, the Board enforces accessibility standards covering federally funded facilities and promotes accessibility through public outreach, technical assistance, training, published guidance, and research. FY 2008 was a year of both progress and change for the Access Board. The Board experienced a change in its leadership with the retirement of Lawrence W. Roffee, the Boards longtime executive director, and the selection of his successor. Through an active agenda developing and refreshing its guidelines and standards, the Board advanced work on a variety of rulemaking initiatives.
