OMSA Request Environmental Accessibility
Good evening to all,
Please read the information below and if you are interested, please sign up.
Thanks!
Janet Barlow Initiative Contact Database
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.
If this is an area of interest to you,
