The project “Now I See: Empowering Accessible Mobility for the Visually Impaired” aims to address, as well as alleviate, the struggles that visually impaired people go through in their day-to-day commute and mobility.
As an extremely vulnerable segment of road users, visually impaired people are susceptible to fatal injuries and death incidents due to the lack of attention to their struggles. Therefore, by implementing road safety measures for them such as crosswalks and tactile paving, this will effectively help in their independent travels, as well as advocate for their rights and importance for inclusion.
The project also aims to target youth (both visually impaired and unimpaired) to advocate for the issue, and make way for them to participate meaningfully by conducting workshops and awareness campaigns in order to deconstruct the social biases against visually impaired people.
