[nfb-talk] Need Compitent Blind Traveler in Raleigh, N.C.

[Misty Dawn Bradley]

Hi Karen,
I do not live in Raleigh my self, but I grew up in North Carolina and 
currently live in Greensboro, NC. I have been to Raleigh a few times, and 
they do have a transit system as well as a paratransit system. The 
fixed-route bus system there is called Capital Area Transit (CAT), and the 
paratransit system is called Accessible Raleigh Transportation (ART.) Here 
is a link to the Capital Area Transit webpage from the Raleigh city 
government's site that has all of the links, phone numbers, and information 
you will need to find out about these services:
http://www.raleighnc.gov/services/content/PWksTransit/Articles/CapitalAreaTransit.html
There is another site as well with transit information at:
http://www.GoTriangle.org
You can also call the GoTriangle Regional Call Center for information at 
(919) 485-7433.
Also, if your parents do not already use the Accessible Raleigh 
Transportation service, which is the paratransit service in Raleigh, they 
may qualify due to their age, which will enable them to get around Raleigh 
also.
I hope this helps.
Thanks,

Misty Dawn Bradley
