[Ohio-Talk] Fwd: Ohio Transportation Equity Forum......please share and help us get the word out!

[Jordy Stringer]

Greetings friends and colleagues, I wanted to share the below announcement with you all.  This was a well attended event last year. Additionally there was much discussion about the national Federation of the blind and its efforts setting precedents in the area of transportation. I encourage as many who can to attend. If you can’t access any of the information in the email please reach out to Kathy directly.
