How Accessible Pedestrian Signals (APS) Make Your Street Crossings Safer

Hear from SFMTA and LightHouse for the Blind discuss all things APS – the push buttons at intersections that communicate when it’s safe to cross. They are an important accessibility tool for blind and visually impaired folks, and in this session, you’ll learn about how to use them, how to request them at an intersection near you, and how the SFMTA is adding them to more crosswalks throughout San Francisco. We’ll also have time for Q&A, so you can get your questions on these devices answered.

Co-presented with Walk SF and California Council of the Blind – SF Chapter.
