Generally speaking, I don’t think there should be government regulations on accessibility standards for check-in kiosks. Instead, let competition between airlines create similar accessibility standards. If implementing these standards helps a lot of people and is cost effective, chances are an airline will set them in place, and many other airlines will likely follow suit to stay competitive. The DOT setting accessibility standards would only increase the cost of traveling for millions of Americans. There needs to be a cost-benefit analysis in these situations to determine if the benefit is really worth the cost of what is being proposed.
