[NFBF-Tampa] HART ADA Advisory Committee Meeting

[marion.gwizdala at verizon.net]

Dear Tampa Bay Chapter Members & Supporters,

 

                As we discussed during our chapter meeting on Saturday, HART
has very poor performance when it comes to accessibility of its fixed route
services, as well as their para transit services. One important issue is the
inaccessibility of HART's para transit application which is currently
inaccessible to screen reading software. I spoke with Kemly Green this
morning and she promises an accessible application "is coming soon"! What is
"soon" and why has it taken thirty-three years, especially when they were
told ten years ago and again five years ago? As you know, HART  has many
other challenges when it comes to accessibility and you are invited to be a
part of the solution

 

                On Thursday, February 15, 2024 from 1:30 - 3:00 p.m., the
HART ADA Advisory Committee will meet. We are encouraging as many of you as
possible to don your yellow Tampa Bay Chapter polos and attend this meeting
in solidarity to tell HART and this committee we will no longer stand for
their practice of disregard toward their disabled patrons. I sit on this
committee and will wear my shirt! If you do not have a yellow chapter shirt,
wear any yellow shirt in union with us! Here are the details for the
meeting.
