Improving Access to Fare Machines in Phoenix
![](http://passengertransport.apta.com/aptapt/editor_images/Valley%20Metro%20fareboxes-crop.jpg)
Valley Metro Rail is improving the accessibility of its fare vending machines by lowering the pedestal heights of 62 machines—one at each station entryway—over the next three years. Phoenix Councilmember Kate Gallego, right, proposed the change after a local veteran in a mobility device asked her for assistance in purchasing a transit pass. Joining Gallego at the announcement are, from left, Ted Vogt, director, Arizona Director of Veterans Affairs; Arizona State Veterans Home resident, Sgt. Master John Bradley; and Valley Metro Rail Vice Chair Thelda Williams, also a Phoenix councilmember.
