Wisconsin Non-Driver Advisory Committee – external advisory committee
The Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) formed the Wisconsin Non-Driver Advisory Committee (WiNDAC) in spring 2020 as an advisory forum to discuss transportation mobility, safety and access for Wisconsin’s non-driving populations. Non-driving populations can include aging adults, students, low-income individuals, those with physical, mental or intellectual/developmental disabilities, and those who prefer not to drive.
Non-drivers face daily challenges to get to where they want to go. This diverse committee identifies transportation barriers for non-drivers and develops recommendations to reduce these challenges and improve mobility for all travelers in Wisconsin.
