Notification of enforcement discretion.

This document announces that the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) will not take enforcement action against regulated entities before August 1, 2025, for failing to comply with the new or revised requirements contained in the final rule on "Ensuring Safe Accommodations for Air Travelers With Disabilities Using Wheelchairs" (Wheelchair Rule). This enforcement discretion does not apply to violations of DOT's regulations regarding the treatment of air travelers with disabilities that would also have been violations prior to the issuance of the Wheelchair Rule.
