[Nfbc-info] FW: Redbox kiosks in California

Wed Feb 17 23:29:51 UTC 2016

Folks,

Just to shed some light on this question, the settlement specifies a period
during which Red Box will design, build and implement a tactile solution.
Red Box is currently in the middle of that period and we expect a statewide
rollout of accessible kiosks next year.  All California Red Box machines
will then be accessible, and a provision in the settlement will ensure that
testing will be done at the new machines to ensure continued accessible
operation.

Best,

Bryan Bashin

I think, perhaps a few weeks ago, I posted a message I received from Valerie
the national office and FB is working on Redbox issues however those of us
in California cannot participate because lighthouse was supposed to of
handled the problem
