Join the ATTRI Online
Dialogue and Help Invent Technology Solutions for Travel
What if you could make traveling easier for people with disabilities by
inventing a new app or technology-based device? Join this national online
dialogue hosted by the U.S. Department of Transportation's Accessible
Transportation Technologies Research Initiative (ATTRI) and share your ideas
about transportation and technology. You can also share travel glitches that
could be solved by a new app or device.
The purpose of the online dialogue is to gather input on mobility and
transportation technology preferences and needs from transportation riders
who have disabilities. By participating in this dialogue, you will assist
leaders in the travel/technology field by identifying devices that could
assist all transit riders- especially people with mobility, hearing, vision,
or intellectual disabilities- to plan, navigate, and use transportation
options in their communities, including safely walking around as well as
getting from one station to another.
Participating is easy! Just take a moment to register, and then submit an
idea, comment on someone else's idea, or vote on an idea! You'll see ideas
posted by colleagues from across the country and be able to share your
thoughts on technologies to help people better access transit. Maybe you
will be the one to suggest the next big thing?
The discussion will be open May 15 - 30, 2014; visit the online dialogue
site http://nationalonlinedialoguetadt.ideascale.com/; soon to join the
conversation.
Please contact projectaction@easterseals.com or call 800-659-6428 with
questions about the online dialogue.
