[IL-Talk] NFBI Chicago Chapter Advocacy Committee Meeting on Wednesday, June 19th at 7:00PM via Zoom

[Dustin Cather]

Greetings all,

The NFB of Illinois Chicago Chapter Advocacy Committee will be hosting a
meeting on Wednesday June 19th at 7:00pm via Zoom to discuss the upcoming
CTA Board Meeting that will take place on June 25th.

As part of our ongoing efforts to advocate for improved signage for CTA
riders who are blind and low vision at CTA bus stops, we are seeking your
active participation in providing in-person public comments at the upcoming
CTA Board Meetings. The next meeting will take place on Tuesday, June 25th
at 10:00am.

The problem: Bus stop signs for print readers provide information including
the bus number and route, while the Braille signs simply say Bus Stop. We
are looking to have the same information on the signage as CTA print
readers do.

The CTA Board Meetings offer a crucial platform for us to voice our
concerns and advocate for positive changes that will enhance accessibility
for all members of our community. Your input and presence can significantly
impact the decisions made by the board regarding this important issue.

If you are a Chicago resident, and would like to see action for these bus
signs, then please join us this Wednesday. June 19th at 7:00pm.  Please
find the Zoom link below.
