Focus Group Members Sought
Have feedback to share about transportation experiences in Arlington? Vision Zero in Arlington wants to learn more about the daily challenges that people with disabilities face as they get around – either walking, wheeling, biking, driving, taking the bus or metro, or being a passenger – so that they can ensure transportation safety initiatives intentionally address ongoing safety issues and reduce disproportionate impacts on these groups. The focus groups will be small, moderated virtual discussions and last no longer than one hour with a group of 8-10 people. The focus group is a one-time commitment in late March. Please respond to April Rosenthal at arosenthal@arlingtonva.us by MARCH 10 if you are interested. (Please provide your name, email and best phone number).
