Among the Biden Administration’s final acts are improvements to the flying experience for passengers with mobility issues: Regulations proposed earlier this year — including requiring beefed-up customer assistance and providing more support when equipment like wheelchairs are mishandled — will begin to go into effect next month.

The Transportation Department estimates that one out of every 100 wheelchairs or mobility scooters transported on a domestic flight is damaged, delayed or lost.
