In the consent agenda today at the city council meeting they will be proposing testing an alternative to Paratransit for disabled riders;
Transportation Services for Persons with Disabilities
Community Coordinated Transportation Systems (River Cities Public Transit): $ 120,000
As I understand it they will be more like a taxi service for the disabled that are more ambulatory then those who normally ride paratransit, and will charge $5 a ride. It will be an experiment at this point. I expect a more detailed explanation tonight at the council meeting.
