[Nationalharbor] Writing Letters for Scooter Bill

[nfbmd]

Hello all,

 

It is time to write letters concerning our e-scooter bill.  HB 1243 requires
ridesharing companies who rent e-scooters to provide tactile identification
for blind persons on each scooter.  The bill also requires companies to
create and maintain accessible websites and apps.  The blind should have the
same information that the rest of the public has and should be able to
communicate with the appropriate company.  These scooters are dockless and
operators leave them anywhere,  frequently blocking building entrances, bus
stops, sidewalks, etc.  

 

Remember, if you email the delegates the email addresses are
firstname.lastname at house.state.md.us
<mailto:firstname.lastname at house.state.md.us> .  If you wish to mail a
letter, the address is House Office Building, 6 Bladen Street, Annapolis, MD
21401.  I will provide the room number next to the person's name below.

 

Everyone should write to Delegate Kumar Barve, Chairman, Environment and
Transportation Committee, Room 251.

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.
