Back in 2012, we began the process by asking can an can you customers about what they liked and didnt like about the cars and asked them to include what they have seen in their travels elsewhere that we can consider emulating. We used that information in our process in 2012. We began working with the bart advisory committee. The bart Accessibility Task force. We worked with them to think in particular about the accessible features of the new train cars and you will see in the slides that follow that there are quite a few features that have been added to the new train cars that are testament to...

Find a nonwillful violation or a willful violation but i dont think that tonight, you can find a nonwillful violation by someone else in the rec and Park Department.

About features for individuals who are blind or have a vision impairment. One feature that will continue from the old cars are the external inter car barriers that are meant to help protect people with vision impairments from inadvertently stepping off the flat form and being in danger. Those were retro fitted into old bart cars after ada was passed. But these will be built in from the ground floor to the new cars. I mentioned earlier that we often have people on bart that dont know what the next stop is or other Important Information like transfer information, the destination of the train, ma...
