Access Advisory Committee to the MBTA (AACT).
AACT is an advisory group which meets monthly with MBTA staff to discuss the transportation concerns of people with disabilities and to develop recommendations on ADA compliance. Because of the wide range of needs among people with disabilities and the variety of ways to meet those needs, a number of subcommittees have been established to explore access issues in depth and to develop specific recommendations on accessibility provisions.
