Register NOW for Open the Path 2025, March 27-28 on the UW campus or online

RantWoman enthusiastically endorses the Taskar Center Annual Open The Paths events

RantWoman's only other comment before letting Taskar Center publicity take over: Please register by Monday March 24 for in-person or by Wednesday March 26 (This is COURTESY. It is best not to over-rely on flexibility.)

Taskar Center for Accessible Technology at the University of Washington is pleased to invite you to Open The Paths, a transportation and accessibility-focussed conference on 3/27 and 3/28 (next Thursday and Friday)

 

The in-person venue is at the UW campus with a zoom option for anyone who might prefer to participate virtually.

 

Registration is free and lunch is provided. More details including registration, agenda, and other details can be found here.

[RantWoman advice: Definitely check out the Agenda at the link above!]

One more thing:

The registration process includes a link to plan your trip by AccessMap, another really cool Taskar Center Project.  

Access Map is awesome for allowing people to create profiles and to choose some routings that, provided there is data in the system address a wide variety of mobility issues. RantWoman did not have an entirely satisfactory experience on her phone, but retrial on a large screen desktop made it much easier to sort out some very cool configuration options.

However, since RantWoman will be arriving by bus and / or light rail and foot, RantWoman is going to pen separate commentary with lots of info about her experience.
