CONCERNED CITIZENS OF PARATRANSIT [email protected] STANDING UP FOR ACCESSIBLE TRANSPORTATION

I don’t want these changes to take affect because I rely on the Wright access program and paratransit because I play multiple sports for the blind

I live in a CILA at Clearbrook and love RAP. I use it to get to and from work and to go to social events and my rec programs. It lets me be independent. I have Down syndrome and would be so devastated if I have to give up my programs.

Since I am now legally blind I depend on the RAP program to keep my life as normal as possible since I can no longer drive.

Please don't do any cuts to this service, as my young adult daughter with disability depends on this service in many aspects of her life

Program should not be cut. It should be re-instated.

Please keep this service available for all these needy and deserving people. It is necessary for safety and independence.

This service is very much needed and should in no way be reduced!

30 days in the month- like everyone else often would need 60 rides- a ride out and a ride back makes sense.

Please do not solve this budget crisis by destroying the RAP program. It takes 40 trips per month for a person to get to and from a job each day. Doctor appointments, grocery shopping would be out of the question!

Many adults use it fir work. 8 a day is too many, but 30 a month is too few. Maybe 2 or 3 a day.

Are there any others service that are being reduced by over 85% ? This is a disproportionate reduction.

Please reconsider!! My son uses this to get to work. It would be difficult to use Pace considering the location. We need more than 30/month.

This is not right!!! My son needs to go to work, the doctor, and out wirh friends! this is his independence!!!!

This is Not acceptable! It’s an essential service.

Please do not reduce rides to 30 per month. This will restrict my ability to get to work

People rely on this service! If you want to fix your budget stop taking away services that help disabled people be independent!!

Please explain how you came up with 30 rides a month . It seems like the least amount would be 60 rides a month one complete ride per day.

This is my only transportation I have. If this service is removed from the Chicago disability program, most of LD and disability people would be stranded.. He was with Kings. Wheelchairs will not be able to assist the buses because of the small amount of space in the front of the buses. This would be detrimental services that the city would let the disability and elder people down.

Need to ride more than one time a day

Please!
