Nelson Nygaard Consulting Associates under contract with Easter Seals Project ACTION is assembling a toolkit for bus stop accessibility and safety assessment.  The toolkit will be available to transit and public works agencies, as well as disability advocates, providing methods on evaluating bus stop accessibility and designing accessible stops.  The toolkit will address a broad range of issues, including usage by people with a variety of disabilities, optimal bus stop design and bus stop environments.

 In order to assemble the toolkit, a literature search will be conducted to gather as much information as possible on the subject of accessible bus stops.  Information may include architectural access, accessible ergonomics, safety regulations, ADA regulations and bus service plans.

 If you are aware of documents or information on the subjects mentioned above, or can give us good examples of bus stops in your area that are fully accessible, please let us know, either by:      

Calling Krute Singa at 415-281-6927 (we'll call you back if this is long-distance), sending the information via e-mail to Krute Singa at <mailto: ksinga@nelsonnygaard.com , or  mailing the information to the address given below:
