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

This is a ridiculous cut to services. The price change people might be able to bare. However, the number of trips going from 240 to 30 per month is absolutely inhumane. Please consider those of us with disabilities.

I understand cuts got to be made. However, an increase would suffice.

Cuts to daily rides hurts the working disability class, like myself, who chooses not to file for SSDI.

I humbly ask him the house of myself as well as many many others that the number of rides will not be reduced. This service has allowed me to continue living, especially with a recent life threatening diagnosis. Getting to informed medical appointments of various specialties is keeping me alive. Also, I had to try to care for myself. And having the four round trip rides per day helps me to be able to care for

They don't deserve anymore monterary. RTA in Chicago m Brandon Johnson and company have requested and received over millions maybe billions already received.

This has helped me tremendously

Please do not disable our ada rides.

I need rap for independence

Please don’t cut funding, so many of with disabilities depend on RTA. It’s so many people that can’t get around with this it would be very detrimental if the funding is cut .

I use this service to go and return from work. I only make min. wage and use the service up to 125 times a month. Uber surge pricing hurts my budget

We don’t want this service, but we NEED this service.

The cuts would be absolutely devastating to my life.

This is unacceptable. People will die because they can’t get to their doctors

We need this service

Are you spare transit to get around and to get to my doctor's appointments and to get to where I need to go and these cuts that you guys are proposing will greatly reduce my ability to do so I'm in a power wheelchair and I rely on the service to give me where I need to go

May you please reconsider this proposal, as this will have a significantly negative impact on the disability community. The non-quantifiable negative impact to the people in the disability community will far outweigh the quantifiable negative economic impact. That said, the quantifiable impact is significant. For example, reducing the number of rides from 8 per day, to 1 per day, results in a daily incremental fee of $197.25 per day, which is a 1,233% increase in daily fees. Even if we consider the case where 1 round trip per day is made, the incremental monthly fee is $915, which equates to an annual incremental fee of $10,980. From the objective numbers above, this will severely impact the disability community from productive aspects of everyday life. This includes commuting to their place of employment, bringing their children to critical appointments and events, and visiting their elderly relatives. I would like to thank you very much, for reconsidering this proposal. Best regards, Jeff Noga

Please save this program!

Please save our P A C E Transportation. It is needed very badly to get to the hospital, clinic, stores, bank, church, drug store and many other places. Relatives, friend, and neighbors don't have time or they just don't want to be bothered. Please help us to be independent. Thank you.

Thank you

Don't stop their ridership
