An image of three tactile maps of the Salesforce Tansit Center. One map 
is of the street view of the building, one is of the second floor of the 
transit station, and the last map is of the third floor of the transit 
station.

Happy Spring from LightHouse's MAD Lab! We have exciting news to share 
with you for the month of April. If you live in the San Francisco Bay 
Area and use the public transit system, you may request up to five free 
tactile maps of BART stations and the Salesforce Transit Center!

The Bay Area is full of wonderful opportunities for dining, 
entertainment, outdoor activity, shopping, and more, much of it 
available to residents and tourists alike by using BART and other facets 
of our public transportation system. We all know a good map is key to 
understanding how to get around efficiently so the LightHouse has 
created tactile and braille maps of BART stations for people who are 
blind or are tactile readers.

Thanks to a grant from the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Section 
5310 Program the LightHouse has mapped all 50 BART stations and the 
Salesforce Transit Center- street, concourse, and platform views; 
because you want to know not just where trains go, but how to get in, 
out, and around stations as well.

Here is how it works: People can explore a map at home and orient 
themselves to the BART stations they'll be visiting, plan a path of 
travel from their starting point (home, bus stop, rideshare drop off, 
etc.) to the entrance of the station, to the fare gates, to the 
platform, to the train, and at their destination station plan it in reverse.

San Francisco Bay Area residents are eligible under 5310 to request up 
to five free tactile maps of BART stations and the Salesforce Transit 
Center. Please complete the BART Map Request Form

specifying which maps you would like. We are taking pre-orders now to be 
fulfilled beginning in June. We will let you know when to expect your 
maps in the mail.
