Finding Your Way
Customers will use the same wayfinding devices for level boarding that they
use today at rail platforms: end and center crosswalks; Ticket Vending
Machine (TVM) near center crosswalk; canopies; name of the station on the
TVM (including Braille); and name of station on the white signs above the
windscreens and below canopies.Braille plaques on TVM's identify the station,
and a TVM is near the level boarding location at each station.
Easy Steps to Level Boarding
Follow these steps to find a level boarding location. Crosswalks, canopies, and TVM's are landmarks
to become familiar with at any station or platform. Waiting at the correct canopy, you're within 15 to
20 feet of the doors to the low floor car.
Red Line and Blue Line:
1. Go the direction train is heading, away from center of platform.
2. Find "mini-hump" or sloped walkway, centered canopy.
3. This is where doors to the low floor car open.i' .
