This report focuses on the adequacy of Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) destination signage guidelines for visual technologies used to improve the dissemination of public transit information to the visually impaired. Specifically, this document is concerned with the use of light emitting diode (LED) and liquid crystal display (LCD) signs in and on the transit vehicle to present destination and route information. The content is derived from relevant standards, guidelines, and research literature identified during extensive government and commercial searches, as well as a comprehensive search of world wide web resources.
