What Constitutes Universally Designed Transportation?

    1. Waiting times for buses, trains and on-demand microtransit should be between five to fifteen minutes at the most.

    2. The distance between local bus stops should be no more than one short block apart.

    3. BART loading zones should be very close to station entrances. Drop-offs should be right in front of BART stations. BART passengers should not have to walk long distances to enter or exit stations.

    4. Transportation in all forms should drop people off at specific destinations, not in parking lots or in the middle of nowhere.

    5. All bus stops and BART stations, including entrances and exits, must be indicated for everyone. Escalators should have labels indicating which streets are near them — for instance, at San Francisco Civic Center BART, 8th Street Escalator.

    6. Accessible pedestrian signals must conform to current practice, such as those in San Francisco. The old cuckoo/chirp technology must be replaced with fast and slow clicks for "walk" and "don't walk".

    7. The center of crosswalks must be clearly delineated for everyone.

    8. All bus and train transfers must be easily negotiable. Wherever possible, drop-offs and pick-ups should occur at the same point, so that passengers don't have to move and can simply wait for the arrival of their next vehicle.

    9. Bus stops must be clearly delineated for everyone.
