From WMATA:
“Starting this week, new decals will appear on the floor of some Metro trains, reminding customers sitting in priority seats to offer them to those in need.
Priority seating is intended for people with disabilities, people who use mobility devices, older adults, pregnant people, and others with not-always-visible disabilities. Priority seats are next to the center doors of each railcar. The seats are marked with signs above the seat, but they can be difficult to see in crowded trains or when customers are seated.
The floor decals will remind customers to look up and proactively offer the seat to fellow passengers who may need it more. (more…)
