@cmajel - when you have a chance, could you look at how this image appears in context on the preview site? Does it look how you envisioned in terms of sizing / readability? And is this filename ok with you?

@laneymangan - this is now ready for review 👀 @cmajel - you are also welcome to review this, especially the table style updates I made according to what I saw in Figma 🎨 We need a review from an @compilerla/engineering team member as well 🤓 Thank you all in advance! |

this categories tag seems like another thing that's ripe to make a blog.11tydata.js default
(not relevant to this PR though) 😇

| This shows a mix of federal, state, and local benefits used to qualify people with disabilities for reduced fares. Some have existing data sources that could potentially be used for a digital eligibility check, like disabled U.S. Veteran status or a California DMV disabled placard. But others are much more manual and are not issued or maintained by centralized agencies, like letters from medical professionals. |

there are a few other instances in this post where we case it 'U.S. veterans'. it'd be good to be consistent.

this is helping me realize that its really just the outro call to action that we're interested in tweaking from post to post. 🤔
(in other words, i've got another idea for #351 now)
