The
Cincinnati streetcar will offer true mobility independence.
People in wheelchairs and scooter board and de-board
level with the curb in seconds. In Portland, Oregon, so many
persons with disabilities have moved near the streetcar line
that it's unusual not to see at least one person in a motorized
scooter on evry streetcar you travel on there. The level
boarding is also good for parents with strollers and travellers
with luggage.
Textured
tiles at the streetcar stops indicate to people with vision
impairments where the streetcar stops are located and provide
additional safety.
