I am a person who is blind, and I have traveled extensively on subways and trains.  I wholeheartedly support detectable warnings and any other device or audible signal that can make travel safer for people who are blind.

 

When I am in a noisy subway station and there are cars coming and going, my excellent hearing is drastically impeded by the overpowering sounds of people and moving trains.  Even with the best of training and the sharpest of skills, it's easy to become confused. 

 

Please know that I fervently support the PROWAC Report.

 

 

Sincerely,
