MUTCD Comments
The MUTCD (Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Device) provides guidelines for traffic planners and engineers in designing intersections and traffic patterns. It includes guidelines on Accessible Pedestrian Signals (APS). The MUTCD hasn't been revised in nearly a decade so when comments were sought the EAC and ACB submitted this document. Our focus is the safety of blind pedestrians and strengthening the requirements for APS.
ACB Letter to U.S. Secretary of Transportation Buttigieg
This letter was sent to Secretary Buttigieg to draw his attention to our concerns and our comments on the MUTCD.
To Mobility and Beyond – The Importance of Accessible Pedestrian Signals and How to Obtain Them Through Litigation
Join Chris Bell, J.D., Janet Barlow, COMS, Lori Scharff, and Torie Atkinson from Disability Rights Advocates as they discuss the importance of accessible Pedestrian Signals (APSs) to our safety and mobility and how to use litigation under the ADA and Section 504 to compel public agencies to install them on a systemic basis. Current litigation brought by ACB of NY and ACB of Metro Chicago are also discussed as examples of what may be accomplished using the courts to advocate for APSs in your area. Sponsored by the ACB Environmental Access and Transportation Committees
