The Reston Accessibility Committee (RAC), a working group of the Reston Citizens Association (RCA) that advocates for improved mobility access across Reston, awarded its Community Partner Award to Patrick Bayne, Manager of ADA Infrastructure Projects for Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS).

During the Nov. 14 school board meeting, Hunter Mill School Board representative Melanie Meren read a proclamation recognizing Bayne's collaboration with RAC, and RCA President Lynne Mulston presented the framed award.

RAC conducted accessibility assessments of parking lots at Reston-area FCPS schools over two years, identifying improvements for mobility access. Under Bayne’s leadership, all recommendations were completed efficiently, benefiting staff, students, and families with mobility disabilities. The award commends his knowledge, attention to detail, and commitment to accessibility.
