That passenger, identified as 33-year-old Kendra M. Fain, of Sutherlin, Ore., suffered “an obvious traumatic head injury” and was found dead by authorities at the scene, according to an affidavit of probable cause filed in the case.

As part of the Transportation Data Equity Initiative, the UW is developing technology that will allow underserved groups to use mobility applications to get from place to place.
For many, moving around is easier thanks to technology. Tools like Google Directions and OneBusAway give up-to-date travel and transit information, making unplanned, serendipitous travel seamless and convenient.
But not everybody has benefitted. Mobility applications focus on efficiency and finding the shortest paths, leaving out information critical to people with disabilities, older adults and anybody needing more support.
Now, the University of Washington is leading a team working toward a solution. Two UW centers, together with Microsoft, Google, Washington Department of Transportation and other public and private partners, are collaborating on the Transportation Data Equity Initiative.
