ABOUT
Synergy, LLC provides support and assistance to all
organizations, public and private, that are seeking workable
solutions for meeting Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)
standards in the realm of transportation and public
right-of-way.
Synergy, LLC, was founded in 2010 by Dennis Cannon when he
retired after 29 years at the U. S. Access Board, the Federal
agency that develops accessibility guidelines under the ADA.
While serving as the Board’s Transportation Accessibility
Specialist, he developed the Accessibility Guidelines for
transportation vehicles and facilities. He also wrote technical
assistance manuals for vehicles in each of nine modes. He also
drafted proposed revisions to the Guidelines for buses and vans
that were published as a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking. In
addition, he was a member of the team that developed the
proposed Public Rights-of –Way Accessibility Guidelines (PROWAG),
which the Federal Highway Administration recommends for
pedestrian facilities constructed in the public right-of-way. He
was a presenter at numerous workshops and training sessions
across the country. He provided technical assistance on how to
apply the Guidelines in a complex environment.
Prior to joining the Board, Cannon helped design and implement
one of the first fixed-route accessible bus systems in the
country, helped write a manual on implementation of accessible
buses, was an expert witness in numerous court cases, and
testified before state and local governments and the U. S.
Congress.
