Saturday, 26 July, 2025
Episode Notes20250709 1430 Tactile Walking Surface Indicators and Raised Sidewalk Applications for Vision Loss Originally Broadcasted July 9, 2025, on ACB Media ** A discussion on what current information is being shared and raising awareness for cities, designers and community members. By StrongGo Industries, manufacturer of TekWay Tactile Warning Systems. In today's urbanized living, new is everywhere, and that can be challenging. New jobs, new streets, new parks, new schools, even with GPS it can be difficult to navigate. We strive to give designers of urban areas ideas of the challenges that come with limited vision or none at all, but also possible solutions for support with TWSIs. In this session, we discussed our current efforts to educate entities on Tactile Walking Surface Indicators and answer any questions the group may have. We also welcome feedback on how the message may be improved to be more effective. Sponsored by: ACB Transportation Committee**
