Testing needed!

Metro has published this beta of alerts which includes everything in one place. This has rail, bus, and accessibility. Taking a cursory look, this looks accessible and worth looking at. Please share this with your network.


The Accessibility Advisory Committee

The Accessibility Advisory Committee (AAC) plays a pivotal role here at Los Angeles Metro. The group has quite a number of members and also has officers who help lead the committee.

Staff also help with administering the committee just like all of the others that are ran by the agency.

If you want to learn more about this committee, this is one of two links that we found. Here is the second link that also talks about the committee, among others that are run.

The accessibility Advisory Committee meet on the following months: February, March, May, June, August, September, November and December. This change was approved in 2021 by the steering committee.

This steering committee does assist staff with Agenda items.

The committee meets on the second thursday of the months listed above at Metro Headquarters in the Henry Huntington room at 1PM.

In recent times, our agendas have contained items for board reports. Where applicable, the board reports will be part of this page under our meetings. Also, braille will be made available as discussed on the web site as well.

While compiling links, we found the accessibility advisory committee also has a Dropbox that you can access. Like PSAC, if you don't want to deal with the dropbox, we'll supply copies. Here is the AAC dropbox.

Meeting information

The next Accessibility Advisory Committee meeting will be August 13, 2026 at 1 PM.

La próxima reunión del Comité Asesor sobre Accesibilidad será el 13 de agosto de 2026 a la 1:00 p. m.

Please find the agenda package in word, PDF, EBAE and UEB formats. Also, please find a report I wrote when it comes to one of the items within the agenda which deals with elevator discussion. It is also available in word, EBAE and UEB formats for your perusal.

The report is my own and was submitted after staff sent out an email asking the committee for questions to be submitted. I'm providing it for people to have.


That completes all of the meeting files at this time.

Presentations

These are presentations that may be of interest that were presented by AAC staff to the AAC. If there are others, we'll link to them here.

June 2025

That's all the presentations for now.

Board reports

As part of the AAC, I've tried to write up board reports that might be of value between all of the meetings. These will stay up for at least one quarter unless we need more space.

Starting with April's set of reports, we'll publish reports as they become available. They then will be up for one quarter from the date of publication.

Books of Interest

These may be books that might be of interest. They were talked about within Metro events attended by me.

If there are others that staff know about, they're welcome to submit the title and author to me.

The blog has lots of information that could be of interest. I've been reading it for many years. This section of the web site will have those posts that might be of interest.
