Again, I refer the committee to the current policy statement. The wording used is “persons with disabilities”, “shippers”, “travellers”, “carriers”. Again, in an effort to make the policy statement concise, the drafters used the generic term “users”, which includes everyone who uses the transportation system, which includes persons with disabilities. Hence, this is why the “persons with disabilities” was removed from the opening paragraph. It was in an effort to avoid redundancy.
On November 21st, 2006. See this statement in context.
