All of us deserve dignity and we need to access to our community. Please save our only way to be included in our work place, our community, to be able to travel and support ourselves.

I use the Ride Access Program and would be impacted very negatively if the proposed changes take effect.

The RAP program is vital for people with disabilities that work. Please keep this program in place.

My partner is visually impaired and depends on this program so that he may continue to commute to his full time job and doctor appointments. He lost his ability to drive with his eye sight.

Capping the number of RAP rides to 30 per month would only cover 3 weeks worth of my daughter's rides to and from work. Please allow at least 40 rides per week!

My adult daughter with special needs requires access to transportation to live an independent life! Please save our programs and don’t limit or raise prices

Disabled people need to get food, medicine and meet with social workers, just like everyone else.

The proposed reduction of RAP and TAP trips per month will seriously harm the quality of living of thousands of people.

This is a crucial program for disabled and low-income. Please don’t raise the prices along with everything else that has gone up. Thank you!

We need our rides for medical and w I rk purposes. Many of us also relay on service essentials outting food, social life and school. All of these areas are very important to the disability community. This may cause many disabled people to become worse than, because not having asscess to those important daily functions. This also feels like a way to hide and silence our community.

Please keep in mind the RAP program iss it's true but riders must tip each ride, so it comes out to be more. While I understand tipping isn't mandatory, if you never tip your rating goes down and drivers just stop picking you up. So please do not raise RAP.

I stand in agreement with people who signed this petition and/or have expressed their concerns about the devasting impact eliminating or reducing the services would have on people like me who use the services frequently. I can understand raising the cost, given our current economy and the recent sweeping cuts and changes made by this current White House administration. But to suggest a drastic reduction in rides -- 30 trips a month -- is a disservice to the disability community. I humbly as you to reconsider and listen to the voices of those who actually use and depend on the services. Thank you.

Please do not do this to my son and neighbor. My son works. He needs at minimum 2 trips a day. My neighbor also needs to be able to use the transportation. Do not hurt the disabled.
