Maddy Ruvolo ’14 public transportation, urban planning issues, and new mobility services, such as rideshare apps, scooters, and bike share systems, with the Disability Visibility Project. As part of her capstone project for her master’s program, Ruvolo, who is a disabled transportation planner, surveyed disabled residents of San Francisco about their experiences with new mobility technologies and services. “. . . Cities need to listen to disabled folks and have disabled people in decision-making roles,” she said. “That鈥檚 not even really a policy recommendation. That鈥檚 just something that they should be doing because we are such a huge part of the population, and our needs are so often overlooked. And when you don鈥檛 have disabled people in decision-making roles, you make mistakes that are really damaging to people.”
