U.S. Access Board Webinar: Accessible Shared Streets - Notable Practices and Considerations for Accommodating Pedestrians with Vision Disabilities (April 5)

The next webinar in the U.S. Access Board's free monthly series will take place April 5 from 2:30 – 4:00 (ET) and will cover access to shared streets. Shared streets blend pedestrian, vehicle, and bike traffic and pose unique challenges to pedestrians with vision impairments. A representative from the Federal Highway Administration, which has issued a report on accessibility best practices for shared streets, will join the Access Board in conducting this session. Presenters will review issues people with vision impairments face, as well as the strategies they use, in navigating shared streets. They also will outline recommendations and considerations for integrating accessibility in street planning and design.

Webinar attendees can earn continuing education credits. The webinar series is hosted by the ADA National Network in cooperation with the Board. Archived copies of previous Board webinars are available on the site.
