H2T in Transportation
Making Mobility Seamless & Accessible
Navigating Public Transit & Travel with Confidence
For blind and visually impaired individuals, using public transportation and rideshare services can be a challenge due to unpredictable schedules, complex stations, and unclear boarding locations. H2T (Hear2There) is transforming transportation accessibility by providing real-time, location-based guidance, ensuring passengers can navigate bus stops, train stations, airports, and rideshares safely and independently.
