The Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority (NFTA) has partnered with Magnusmode to launch a free app that assists NFTA riders, as well as air travelers at the Buffalo Airport, with cognitive disabilities.
Deemed MagnusCards, the free app now features NFTA card decks.
The NFTA card decks increase travel accessibility for those with cognitive disabilities by using digital guides to help people access the airports, bus and rail. Magnus, an interactive character, acts as the guide, providing the user with reassurances and reinforcing routine. The card deck uses pictures along with plain language text to offer step-by-step travel instructions.
