Paratransit

City of Sioux Falls to explore options to Paratransit

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.
