RTC Paratransit needs to service Southern Highlands


RTC Paratransit needs to service Southern Highlands
The Issue
My husband has one leg and needs to be in a wheel chair or ride his scooter. He also goes to dialysis 3 times per week. Of course, I am his transportation to and from. I tried to get paratransit for him but they will not come to our address. I know there are many people in Southern Highlands that are able to use paratransit because they are grandfathered in from before they shrunk their area. . I also know there are more people that need paratransit and cannot get service. The closest stop to us is too dangerous for my husband to ride his scooter, and there are no buildings at those corners either. Since Paratransit already service a few grandfathered people, why could they no extend their area to cover the entire area for the people that need.
