20220921 Untangling Transportation – No Cars Required
Originally Aired September 21, 2022, on ACB Media 5
 
On September 22nd, Car Free Day encourages motorists around the world to give up their vehicles for a day. Newsflash! Those of us who are blind or have
low vision does this daily. So, we can skip all the oohs, ahs, and OMGs our car-loving neighbors might be voicing at the very notion of
going a day without driving. Instead, we can take the time to talk about life as a pedestrian—the good, the bad, and the challenging. We’ve got a very
special guest to help us do just that. Becky Davidson is First Vice-President of the North Carolina Council of the Blind; Co-Chairperson of ACB’s Pedestrian
Environmental Access Committee: and a long-time advocate for Accessible Pedestrian Signals (APS) and anything else that helps to increase pedestrian safety.
So, we discussed APS and pedestrian safety and the link between community accessibility and public transportation. We took a few minutes to dream about
what a world could look like without so many cars.
