Upcoming Events

The Transportation Working Group (TWG) is a partnership between the Aging and Vision Loss National Coalition and VisionServe Alliance. The mission of the TWG is simple: Gather leaders and advocates from across the blind and visually impaired community to help raise the community’s collective understanding of how transportation and mobility are regulated, funded, planned, and operated in America, how transportation services, pedestrian accessibility, and other aspects of community mobility can be improved, and to help the community to advocate with a more powerful, effective, and united voice. At our February meeting, we will dig into the transportation-related findings from The Big Data Project with a presentation from Carlie Rhodes, AVLNC co-chair. Attendees will share game-changing transportation data that supports our advocacy and generate a list of other data that would further support our efforts to remove transportation barriers that limit the ability of those who are blind and low vision to engage in community life fully. Our work at this meeting will help lay the foundation for the “Innovative Advocacy for Accessible Public Transportation” track at our upcoming Leadership Conference in Scottsdale.
