<div>Hi Lisa,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>As part of a project on transit communications for people with disabilities at the WGBH National Center for Accessible Media, we did an analysis of a number of transit apps to see how screen reader-friendly they are. Our results are available from the
project web page:</div>

<div><br>
</div>
<div>The analysis is directly downloadable at:</div>

</div>
<div>You might want to look at NextBus. Some of their clients are universities, and their web-based bus tracker is quite accessible.</div>
