Transit Information Access for Persons with Visual or Cognitive Impairments

TRB's Transit IDEA Report 71: Transit Information Access for Persons with Visual or Cognitive Impairments explores ways to use technology to address the needs of passengers with visual impairments and of passengers with cognitive disabilities. This project envisioned a new location-based information access system that provides personalized transit information to each user, regardless of possible sensorial or cognitive impairments, with the goal of potentially increasing ridership to large segments of the community who are currently unable or unwilling to travel independently.
