MN Federationists,

Below is information about a survey being conducted regarding transportation.  This would be worth doing, so that we can make it known that blind people successfully utilize and value public transportation.  Responses must be received by March 31.

People with Disabilities - Transportation SurveyIn conjunction with a
grant received from the Federal Transit Administration, Meeting the
Challenge, Inc. is conducting a national survey designed to collect
information from people with disabilities regarding their experiences
with public transportation. Information gathered will be used to
determine what barriers still exist in public transportation for people
with disabilities and will be used to create Americans with Disabilities
Act (ADA) technical assistance materials directed toward alleviating
those barriers.


This on-line survey can be accessed from this link:
http://mtcinc.transit.sgizmo.com . It will take from 5 to 15 minutes
to complete. 

If you know someone who does not have internet access and would like to
participate the survey can be completed by phone by calling Meeting the
Challenge at
800-864-4264 (select menu choice #2), Monday through Friday between 9
AM and 4 PM (MT). If you prefer a paper copy of the survey, call the
same phone number. 


Responses to the survey will be collected through March 31.


Please forward this e-mail to any individuals with a disability or to
any groups serving individuals with disabilities that you feel would be
appropriate respondents. We thank you for your participation and
assistance!
