Public meetings announced for paratransit transition

October 7, 2005
Special to juliehamos.org

The Ad Hoc Committee working on transition will hold public hearings to inform the public about the draft transition plan and to ask for input. A list of the hearings is posted below. A list of Frequently Asked Questions is available here.

In addition, riders who call to request service will soon be asked if the trip is for a medical purpose. It is entirely optional to answer this question. It is being asked to facilitate the access of Medicaid dollars, saving the entire system money. A flier concerning this change is available here.

A downloadable list of meetings is available here.
