Commission Statement:
The Salem Commission on Disability is committed to making Salem a better place to work and live for people with disabilities.  The Commission also strives to make Salem a more accessible place to visit for people living with all kinds of disabilities.  Our mission is to raise awareness, educate, and provide informational resources about various disability issues.  Two of the ways we do so are by providing educational information in the monthly meetings broadcasted on the local cable network, SATV Channel 22, and providing a daily audible column to help maximize the pedestrian commuter’s safety.  The Commission supports a strong relationship with their city government, their constituents and the Salem business community, including the museums and other tourist attractions.
