Subject: Today's Agenda - Passenger mobility assistance services

Dear Port Commissioners:
As someone who is unable to attend your meeting today, | want to add my voice via this email to those who support the
proposal on your agenda to contract for passenger mobility assistance services. You may have already passed this item
on your agenda, but | would like to comment nevertheless.

The goalfor the Port of Seattle to be as accessible as possible is laudable, and it is long overdue for people constrained
by mobility issuesin the airport and at cruise ship terminals to be assisted properly. Thank you for considering and
supporting this contract.

I hope that you will next encourage staff to move to address issues of people with hearing loss, who are also
constrained. Communication is challenging in boarding, disembarking, in emergencies and generally in finding one's way
when announcements are not audible, not clear or there is too much external noise to interpret whatis being
said. There are many tools that can address this problem, and | encourage you to move forward on this as a next step.

Thank you for your attention to these matters. Those of us with disabilities are very grateful.
Sincerely,
Cynthia Stewart, President
Hearing Loss Association  WA
