TriMet Data for BrailleNote and VoiceNote GPS Wayfinding Devices

Visually impaired riders using The Sendero Group BrailleNote or VoiceNote GPS wayfinding devices can access location and amenity information for every TriMet bus stop and train station.

The Sendero Group includes transit information in its BrailleNote/VoiceNote User Points of Interest ("POI") database.

How it works

You can either "look around" by retrieving information relative to your GPS position or you can virtually explore an area before going there (this lets you review transit options before starting a trip).

In seconds, you'll know:

• the distance and direction to the nearest transit stop
• which bus and rail lines serve the stop
• what amenities are at the stop (shelter, bench, sidewalk, crosswalk, traffic signal, telephone, etc.)
• the Stop ID number

With a Stop ID number, you can find out when the next bus or train will arrive by calling 503-238-RIDE (7433) from any touch-tone phone.
