Those were good ideas Sila. Star Metro will be using octagonal poles for all
bus stop signs. No other signs will be used with this shaped pole.
We need sidewalks all over the city.

Hello William,
First, thank you for taking our concerns back to the "powers that be" and for
soliciting input from the disabled community.
I think my number 1 concern is that some tactile indicators be placed in a
uniform place in relation to the bus stop sign so no matter if a person reads
braille, print or doesn't read, they can find the actual stop. Secondly, would
be braille and raised letter signage identifying the bus stop signs themselves.
Thirdly, but equally as important would be a word document explaining the
routes (not a map) about where they go, with what routes they connect and the
time tables. This is the way the "Ride Guide" used to be and it was wonderful.
I'm sure there is more that will come to mind and I will email with it. Again,
thank you.
Take care,
Sila

Greetings list,
As you all know I am very committed to having as good a transportation
system in Tallahassee as possible. At a recent meeting I was asked to get
input from my fellow disable listers: what would be the suggestions you might
have for an effective transportation system? This is just one more opportunity
to make your voice heard.
What is the Accessible Transportation Coalitions Initiative (ATCI)?
ATCI is a one-year process designed to support systems change activities to
improve accessible transportation options for people with disabilities
We can have a voice and it has been proven in the past that they do listen
to us.
I invite you to offer your suggestions and I will carry them to the table.
