Partner Leslie Levy brought two cases against BART on behalf of passengers with disabilities. These cases have made the system more accessible to the people with disabilities who rely on BART trains for transportation. Because of one lawsuit, BART installed edge detection rubber flooring at all of its stations to assist people who are blind or visually impaired. The second lawsuit forced BART to provide automated independent access for disabled passengers to all BART station elevators.
