Transportation regulations implementing the ADA specify that fixed route transportation providers shall announce transfer points, major intersections and destination points, and intervals along a bus route sufficient to permit individuals with visual impairments or other disabilities to be oriented to their location. The Rochester-Genesee Regional Transportation Authority (R-GRTA) and its operating subsidiary, Regional Transit Service, Inc. (RTS) teamed up with Luminator Company and local advocacy groups for the disability community to implement and test an automated on-board next stop and route identification system using Global Positioning technology. The system is intended to provide totally automated visual and audible announcements to waiting passengers identifying the route upon which the bus is operating. |
