Brandon Somerville, IndyGo

Having successfully managed previous ADA sidewalk and trail assessment projects I was contracted as a  Field Engineer for IndyGo Project. My role was to oversee and manage the pilots collecting data while mapping the surrounding area. The experience itself was extremely amazing and I enjoyed every bit of it knowing it will soon help everyone who visits and travels the area. The project gathered crucial information that will benefit anyone and everyone who explores the surrounding area. The project brings a real sense of what pedestrian routes are like currently and which routes would be best utilized. Thanks to Briometrix, people will save time traveling and know how much effort it will take to reach their destination. Individuals will no longer have to feel discouraged or hindered due to backtracking from missing sidewalks, obstructions in the path, or missing a crosswalk. Brio has created a way to map the paths of least resistance and get more people to more places.” “Working with Briometrix to train and hire local residents to map the accessibility of our transit pathways is a true mobility and community benefit. This data collected through the “City on Wheels” study will be used by our IndyGo planning department and hopefully more widely for trip planning and understanding the health of the city’s infrastructure by transit riders and city leaders alike.”
