Access Transit has come up with a plan designed to remove physical and logistical barriers for Persons with Disabilities when using Transit. The proposed accessible features include:

-Tactile way-finding aids

-Visual and auditory aids

-Elevator and ramp characteristics

-Audio and visual "Next-Stop" features provided for all stops

-Hand-held GPS device to provide user with audible directions...

Translink is installing a new system on to 1300 buses: as the bus approaches its next stop, the voice comes on quite loud  saying the name of the stop, and the name also scrolls by on electronic message displays mounted in the bus ceiling.

This new feature will help make transit more accessible for passengers with disabilities.
