[NFBF-Tampa] Fwd: Mobility Research Project

[tampa President]

Greetings Tampa members,
Please see the below emails regarding a research study. You must be a cane traveler, and be willing to travel to Sarasota. Transportation will be reimbursed, and you will be compensated for your time.

> We are reimbursing for travel, so as of now we are considering just having people use uber or other app based transit. They would be reimbursed in cash and paid $50 cash for the 1.5 hr spent on the project. I did not see an active nfb chapter in our area, which surprised me actually, and I believe yours is the closest.

I'm trying to find more cane travelers who can't see well enough to see the lines at a crosswalk, and vision loss has to be their primary disability. They will be compensated for their time and travel, and we still need about 10 people. Please feel free to give out my email address and cell number to anyone you think may be interested.  I'm attaching a flyer with the description of the project on it to share with friends.
