<p style="margin:0in">Hello, <o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="margin:0in"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="margin:0in">My name is Katie, and I am in the Passenger Experience department at Sound Transit. We are currently developing an app for trip-planning, rider information alerts, and eventually integrated with ORCA for fare payment. We are interested
in your feedback to ensure that the app is accessible, and would like to invite you to participate in an activity to try the app! <o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="margin:0in"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="margin:0in"><b>Purpose: </b>To learn about your experience with the app, and what improvements we can make. We will provide a set of tasks for you to complete with in the app and ask a series of follow-up questions about the product. The app will
eventually be available on Web (ST website), iOS, and android—we ask that you bring whatever device you usually use for trip-planning, along with any assistive technology that you normally use on your devices, to the session. The sessions will be recorded,
but kept anonymous and confidential. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="margin:0in"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="margin:0in"><b>Date, time, duration: </b>The activity will be held in the Union station building, at
<a href="https://www.google.com/maps/search/401+S+Jackson+Street?entry=gmail&source=g">
401 S Jackson Street</a> in Seattle. We have sessions available between August 9th- August 31st. Each session will be 60-90 minutes long, and you will receive a $125 visa gift card as compensation for your time, sent to your email address.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="margin:0in"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="margin:0in"><b>If you're interested in participating, please fill out a few questions at the following link:
