BACKGROUND
Dallas Fort Worth International Airport (DFW) is requesting that the Owner Cities of Dallas and Fort Worth approve an amendment to DFW’s Code of Rules and Regulations, which is detailed below. The 1968 Contract and Agreement between the Cities of Dallas and Fort Worth require that any amendments to the DFW Airport Code of Rules and Regulations be approved by both Owner Cities.
Chapter 2 Traffic Regulation
DFW is requesting approval of an amendment to Chapter 2 (Traffic Regulation) in Section 2-13 (Obedience to Signs) which will add a requirement that disabled veteran license plates and placards include the symbol of access adopted by Rehabilitation International in 1969 at its Eleventh World Congress on Rehabilitation of the Disabled in order to qualify for disabled parking at DFW Airport. This amendment will also bring DFW disabled parking regulations into compliance with the new Texas law requiring the international symbol for disabled parking. The Airport Board approved the Chapter 2 amendment at its October 13, 2022, meeting.
