This month, Richard Devylder, a disability rights activist and former Senior Advisor for Accessible Transportation here at the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), passed away at the age of 46.

What Richard might be most remembered for, besides his friendly forehead bumps and relentless optimism, is how well he understood the connection between transportation and an independent lifestyle, which drove his life’s work of transportation advocacy. 

Along with his legacy as a great voice for those with disabilities, the U.S. Department of Transportation remembers him as a great colleague, and to those who knew him – a great friend.
