Recognizing the critical role that public transportation can play in promoting the physical, emotional and economic wellbeing of people who are blind or have low-vision, having a basic understanding of what public transportation includes, how it is funded, how it is evolving, and how blind and low-vision people can incorporate its use into their own lives is of critical importance for anyone who either lives as a person who is blind or has low-vision or who provides programs or services for blind/low-vision consumers.
