[Mary J. Ziegler]

Rafael,

It's so nice to hear ATIC's accessibility seminars influenced how you think 
about developing applications!

Thank you for letting us know about this iPhone/iPod program.    I'm passing 
this on to the MIT mobile devices user group, as there may be users on the 
list with an interest in your application.

Regards,
Mary

Dear IS&T ATIC Lab,
I am a former MIT Faculty that have developed a program for the iPhone
that allows finding the best route between two T-stations in Boston.
I am writing to you because I think that such program may be interesting
for MIT members.  Since you take care of Information Services for people
with disabilities, you may find this applications specially interesting
for those with Mobility Impairment.  The applications find the best
route in terms of time, but also a handicap friendly routes (when
possible).  One good example is to go from Lechmere to the Airport, the
fastest route (22 min) is to change for the Blue line at Government
Center. However, since Government Center is not handicap enabled one may
prefer to change for the Orange line at North Station, then for the Blue
line at State (26 min).

The applications is available at Apple website and also at the original URL:

While I was Visiting Scientist at MIT-Sloan (2001-2002) I attended some
of your seminars about web accessibility, since then I try to be more
more careful in my developments.

Sincerely,
RAFAEL PALACIOS
