Step Up for Safety & Mobility

Posted on: October 1, 2025 in Safety

You’re invited to a new awareness!

MetroPlan Orlando, along with our government and community partners, will offer the annual Blind Experience at the Orange County Administration Center, 201 S. Rosalind Ave., Orlando, FL , 32801, on Wednesday, October 15, 2025, from 10 – 11:30 am.

Walk in the shoes of our blind and visually impaired neighbors by taking part in this effort to increase knowledge of the White Cane Law and to promote pedestrian safety. We will provide opportunities to navigate a downtown street without sight and to learn more about visual impairment. RSVP today to save your spot.

What is the White Cane Law?

Whenever a pedestrian using a guide dog or a white cane attempts to cross the street, drivers must come to a full stop before proceeding. Through the Blind Experience, we will raise awareness of the law while also experiencing what it’s like to navigate as a blind or visually impaired person.
