style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D">The
issue mentioned by the AAC, eliminating loading of SmarTrip
on bus, is a concern because the only accessible means for a
blind person to load SMartTrip cards is at a rail station.
Those who are bus-only users will have no access to a way to
re-load SmarTrip cards because the on-line system is
inaccessible. WMATA has known this problem for many years
and has done nothing about it. I intend to mention the
failure of the 7000 automated announcements to function
properly. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
