The Deaf Task Force Proactive Community
The mission of the Deaf Task Force New York City (DTFNYC) consists of Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing people who (voluntarily) joined force to implement short and long-term goals for equal access for Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing and Deaf-Blind people living in NYC. DTFNYC was established on September 11, 2006.
The Deaf Task Force aims to improve communication and information accessibility within the NYC MTA transit system, evacuation designed safe areas under the subway stations, 9-1-1 accessible emergency procedures, emergency preparedness for immediate evacuation, first response in emergency care training, information on alert systems, accessible emergency communication and notification within the law enforcement, hospitals, and fire department — all within the city, state and federal operating system.
Our goal is to provide outreach, education, advocacy and support in collaboration with our community. We welcome the community to participate, speak up and fight for our rights.
Our meetings are on the 1st Friday of each month at 32 Washington Place (NYU Silver Building)
