Adding Accessibility Types

Accessibility is defined for your site for the purposes of generating itineraries that suit your clients’ needs.

You can view predefined accessibility requirements in headways, stop sheets, and in the Itinerary Planning screen. Some examples of accessibility include wheelchair accessible vehicles, bike rack vehicles, or ski rack vehicles.

The accessibility types are entered as ancillary data and then applied to lines, bus stops and vehicle types. (The vehicle type is assigned to the trip itself or the entire block.)

  1. Click File > Ancillary Data > Fixed > Accessibility.
    The FX-Accessibility dialog box opens.
  2. Type a letter, abbreviation and description for the accessibility type in their respective fields.
    The letter, abbreviation and description you type appear in the Accessibility list in the Itinerary Planning screen. The letter also appears in the Headway Wizard “A” column, status bar, and stop Tooltips in the Detail tab of the Show Stop dialog box.
  3. Optional: Type a path to a graphic file of your choice. It could be a picture of an accessible vehicle, or a bike rack itself, for example.
  4. Click Add.
  5. Click Close.
