Hello all,

 

We are reaching the home stretch.  If anyone can come to the Senate scooter
hearing on Wednesday, March 11 please call 410-715-9596.  We need to get a
big crowd for this, because last year we lost the bill because this
committee took too long to send it to the floor.  If they see a big crowd,
they may act more quickly this time.

 

We need letters quickly for the Senate scooter bill because the hearing is
on March 11.  HB 557 will require scooter ride-sharing companies to provide
nonvisual access to scooter information.  Companies must provide tactile
contact information on each scooter.  They must also keep their websites and
phone apps accessible so that we can report problems and communicate with
the companies.

The National Federation of the Blind of Maryland knows that blindness is not
the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the
expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles
between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want;
blindness is not what holds you back.
