Amy and Patricia –

I am so excited that we will be hiring a summer intern to support our efforts in accessible wayfinding for riders with visual impairments (ultimately leading to a universal approach to accessing transit). I thought the two of you might have some incredible connections to share this posting with.

The job description lists the following as the scope of the role, and it is a paid position that has led to long-term employment at TriMet for many individuals.

“As an Intern, you will work on developing a rollout plan and supporting the implementation of a mobile wayfinding technology solution aimed at enhancing accessibility for all public transportation users, particularly individuals with disabilities, seniors, and those with limited and no vision.

Wayfinding technology involves tools that aid riders with mobility or visual impairments in navigating around the built environment. Examples include graded tiling and tactile domes at Max stops, or audio cues at crosswalks.

Activities will include research and analysis on current wayfinding tools and how other agencies have used them. You'll collaborate on proposing, testing and launching a technology solution to wayfinding needs. You will also document your findings, make recommendations, and provide project progress in a final report.

As an Intern, you will play an essential role in ultimately launching a wayfinding application to provide riders real-time updates and support as they utilize TriMet fixed route bus and MAX system. Join us as we work to bridge usability gaps and make our system more accessible!”

The position closes on February 28th, 2025 at 5pm PST, and pays $21.00 per hour.

Thank you in advance for your partnership in sharing this unique opportunity.

Eileen
