Sault Ste. Marie, ON improves public transit accessibility with BlindSquare Event mobile app

Sault Ste. Marie, ON BlindSquare Event Public Transit

Sault Transit and CNIB Frontier Accessibility tested the mobile app during a pilot on two bus routes. BlindSquare Event determines the user's proximity to activated bus stops using real-time GPS data. The app provides audio alerts for nearby bus stops and upcoming bus arrivals. Sault Ste. Marie expanded BlindSquare Event's use to all seven routes, making it the first Canadian city to use the platform on its entire transit system.
