#GAAD #GAAD2023
RantWoman has a conflict and is sharing this invitation
Would you like to join us on Friday, May 19th for a GAAD (Global Accessibility Awareness Day) celebration through community conversations, or are you interested in participating in a co-design study for the AccessMap Multimodal Trip Planner, or both?
What to expect at TCAT's GAAD event, on May 19th, 2023?

Activities:
Spotlight Co-Design Sessions--
One-on-one 50 minute interviews will take place with participants who signed up (you still can!) to take part in the co-design sessions for the AccessMap Multimodal interface. This is our new customized trip planning and routing application that will integrate pedestrian routing with transit station information, general transit and on demand transit. Participants will be separately reimbursed $50 in gift cards for their time joining this study. If you are interested in joining the study but have not yet signed up, fill out this form. Link to the form: https://forms.gle/
Mainroom conversations--
From 10:30am-11:30am in the mainroom (Gates 371) attendees will discuss inaccessibility in transit stations, specifically focusing on attributes of the station that should be put on maps (examples: where tactile paving is and isn't available, where braille displays of schedules are available, powerchair plug locations). Discussion of real time operational status of elevators, is unfortunately, not in scope for this conversation.
From 1:00pm- 2:00pm in the mainroom (Gates 371), we will report to our community about the conversations we have had in the past year at the intersection of access to transit, race and disability. We called these conversations "Civic Changemaking Through Storytelling And Open Data." We wanted to discuss the future of these conversations with you, and incorporate your interests and ideas.
Lunch
Lunch from the Microsoft Cafe will be reimbursed, up to $20 in value, for non-UW participants. Please see details below.
See more on parking and logistics below.
Thank you for your continued engagement with TCAT's community of practice on accessibility-first transportation data!
