Lighthouse Louisiana Offers Input to All Stop Access Program (ASAP)
 
Capital Area Transit System (CATS) has invited Baton Rouge Services Occupational Therapist and Orientation and Mobility Specialist Carmen McClain to consult in a new initiative to add more accessible bus stops in the Baton Rouge and Baker areas. The All Stop Access Program (ASAP) will provide more firm and stable surfaces to accommodate people who use wheelchairs and surface treatments to assist riders who are blind or have visual impairments.
 
“The groundbreaking of ADA-accessible bus stops is a testament to our dedication to accessibility. It underscores our commitment to making public transportation more welcoming and convenient for all members of our community,” said Theo Richards, CATS Interim CEO. “We are thrilled about the positive impact this will have on our passengers’ livelihood.”
 
CATS hopes to complete all 1,500 bus stops over the next ten years.
