>> I’m forwarding an email I received after a phone conversation with Mr. Brinkley regarding research being conducted related to the automated driving vehicles for the blind and visually impaired from the University of Florida.  He is requesting the survey be sent to the Blind and Visually Impaired population in Kentucky to complete as part of their study.  I felt the both of you could reach your membership and I will share with our staff to share with their consumers as well.  Please let me know if this request is feasible or if you have any questions or other suggestions on how to share this survey with others.  Thanks.

>> Hello Mrs. Flanagan,
>> 
>>  
>> 
>> Per our telephone call today I have provided the text for the survey we are conducting below.  I would appreciate it if you could distribute this to any individuals who are visually impaired that your organization has access to.  The survey is fully screen reader accessible. I have also attached the University of Florida review board approval for the study for your records. The document is in PDF format. I apologize for the potential inaccessibility of the PDF but unfortunately PDF is the only format that this document is distributed in by the university. 
>> 
>>  
>> 
>> If possible could you also copy me the first time the email is distributed if it receives your approval? This will help me to track distribution and monitor how effective we are being in reaching our distribution targets.
>>

>> 
>> Thank you again for all of your help and please let me know if you have any questions – the email text begins below:

>> Hello,

>> Researchers at the University of Florida are currently soliciting responses for an online survey to gauge the opinions of people who are blind or visually impaired regarding self driving cars. Your participation will help engineers and policy makers better understand the needs and concerns of individuals who are visually impaired in designing self driving car technology and writing related policies.

>> If you are an individual who is blind or visually impaired we would greatly appreciate your participation. Participants will be entered in a drawing for a $300 gift card. For additional information regarding the risks and benefits of the survey or to complete the survey itself please visit www.evalui.com or click the link to the website below.
