The complexity of the built environment poses numerous and evolving wayfinding and other accessibility challenges for pedestrians with vision disabilities. Tactile Walking Surface Indicators (TWSI) are one tool that can be used to improve accessibility and safety within public-rights-of-way. This webinar, on Thursday, June 4, 2026, from 1:30 – 3:00 PM (ET), will cover existing requirements and will then aim to demonstrate the considerable research evidence that supports the recommendations for the design and use of TWSI that now appear in various reports and guidebooks. The webinar will also identify ongoing projects that document accessibility and safety challenges for pedestrians with vision disabilities; projects that also include efforts to provide evidence-based solutions.
