Invitation to explore Sound Transit's 3 new stations

 

Hi all.  Sound Transit will be opening three new stations in early October
and we want to give people with disabilities the opportunity to explore
these stations before they open. There will be a combination of travel
trainers, O&M specialists, and other Sound Transit staff available to assist
as needed. Please read over the details below and respond to me directly at
donna.smith at soundtransit.org <mailto:donna.smith at soundtransit.org>  if you
plan to attend and to let me know if you need an accommodation. Also, feel
free to share this invitation with other people with disabilities who may be
interested.

 

What: Event to explore three new rail stations - Northgate, Roosevelt and U
District stations

When: September 1, 2021, 1:00 - 4:00 PM

Where: Start at the Northgate station and progress through the Roosevelt and
U District stations

Come and check out these new stations and learn about the accessible
features. This is a great opportunity to learn about our stations and
observe how they are laid out and the various elements that make them
accessible. You will have a chance to check out the new fare-paid zone, new
signage including tactile maps, elevators and escalators, tactile wayfinding
markings, and to see how these stations connect with local bus service
including paratransit. We will provide a shuttle bus to transport people
between the three stations, and return you to the first station to connect
with your transportation home.

 

If you plan to attend, please respond to this message by Friday, August
27th. If you need an accommodation to attend, please let me know as soon as
possible so we can make every effort to provide what you need. 

 

I hope to see you all there! As always, if you  have questions, just ask.

 

Donna
