I know how important transportation programs like Encompass are. As a blind mom, I use a similar program in Colorado to get my daughter to places such as Scouts and other extracurricular activities.
We definitely need to get paid more because we are underpaid for the type of work we are expected to do and deal
With on a daily basis. We are at risk of fentanyl exposure, stabbings, shootings, and being attacked on the trains at any second. 29.00 an hour is simply not enough and isn’t talked about enough.
New resident (hello sorry for moving in i'm that guy). However, as a newer resident, and a career world traveler it is so vividly clear how important high speed, and light rail infrastructure is to the rest of the world. To some degree the US is not just behind but not even in the game. North Carolina has a strong track record investing in your railways, and a clear pride in in that. Modern light rail system would ease traffic, support growth, and give people real transit options. It’s a smart, future-ready investment.
I take the bus everyday. .e my dad and my daughter. I'm in a wheelchair. I go to kennywood, carnegie science center, grocery shopping, restaurants. I go everywhere without busses id ve in the house all the time. If I need to go downtown to ssi or welfare or somewhere I'd never be able to go. My dad has to take a bus to the bank to put the money in I pay him back. I have never had my lucence ive used buses my whole life. My daughter had been on busses since she's been 2 days old. My dad can no longer drive.
I do not drive due to being on the Autism Spectrum Disorder as well as cars & gas being so expensive. Thousands of Pittsburghers, including the disabled, depend on riding the bus to survive. If PRT cuts bus services, jobs will be lost, businesses along the shuttered routes will lose money, and riders who depended on the buses will be left stranded.
Keep PRT services and Access transportation intact. The disabled especially and also many able people need these services to survive. I am blind, so I know firsthand. Thank you
I would love to see this in my lifetime. The ability to take transit to downtown and back instead of having to sit in traffic for hours, or worry about overpriced parking. Charlotte could finally become more connected and could bring more business! Then we can have less cars on the roads and maybe do something about all the ugly stroads around here.
As a Charlotte native, and current East Charlotte resident, I would very much like to see an alternative transportation methods be brought to East Charlotte. With the rate of growth that our city is seeing, reducing car trips and providing multiple methods of transportation should be a key priority in accommodating the growth that will come over the coming decades.
I live in East Charlotte and work only a couple miles away. Walking and cycling are both too dangerous on my route to work. I'm a car on the road today that you could eliminate with mass transit or more pedestrian/cyclist safety. I would barely drive at all during the year if we had proper rail.
I commuted to Uptown by bus from Matthews for years but stopped riding within the last year because it is too unreliable and no routes are available after 6pm. Now I drive all the way to the South Blvd station to take the light rail. Although not convenient, it’s better than standing in the cold for 30 minutes wondering if the bus will show up. Matthews desperately needs light rail.
