I can see raising the fair back to what it was prepandemic. I can see putting the fair back to $3.25. what I don't understand is cutting the number down to 30 trips a month. That would mean if you were going to Walmart you would be able to get there but you would be able to go home. So that means a person with limited mobility would only take a trip every other day somewhere. There are people that are employed that would only be able to go to work every other day. You know like for example if you work 5 days per week and you have to get to work and then come home from work. You would not be able to go to work everyday of the working month. There are people that don't work but they have to go to at least two or three different places in a day. This would be detrimental to people with limited mobility needs. Like I mentioned above I can understand going from the $2 Fair back to $3.25 per ride. And so that to me is understandable but limiting people to 30 trips a month is not acceptable for people with limited mobility needs. This is out right discrimination.

I fully support efforts to protect transportation services for people with disabilities. Eliminating rides will affect their jobs, hospital and doctor visits, and freedom to do own groceries and shopping. Targeting benefits for people with disabilities is unacceptable as they have limited alternatives. Please think wisely, thank you.

Please make sure a important, vital service, being Paratransit, that no changes are made because people with disabilities need it to get to doctor appointments, shopping etc. so please no changes to Paratransit

Reliable, accessible transportation is important to people with disabilities.
