?The intent of this database is to identify Orientation and Mobility professionals (including Guide Dog Mobility Instructors) with an interest in Environmental Accessibility; in particular as it pertains to intersections, intersection design and functions and street crossing issues. Specifically, this includes but is not limited to: Accessible Pedestrian Signals (APS), Tactile Walking Surface Indicators such as Detectable Warnings and others, making Roundabouts accessible, and resolving the conflicting needs of visually impaired pedestrians and bicyclists. Issues related to Transit are also included such as how to make the new ¡°Floating Bus Island¡± designs accessible.
?
How will this database be utilized? What is its purpose?The database may be the source for invitations to online and in-person workshops bringing together Orientation and Mobility professionals and Traffic Engineers to collaborate and learn from each other.
