This program is vital for countless lake county families and should be funded in perpetuity.

My son uses the RAP system to travel to and from work, doctors appointments, therapy sessions, special Olympics programs, and to social events. It has helped his overall mental and physical wellbeing tremendously. He used to be very anxious about the PACE bus reliability. Unfortunately, the RAP system does not allow rides throughout Lake County. To is this is discrimination towards individuals who work, live or would like to visit specific areas in Lake County. I ask that you expand the service to include all zip codes within Lake Counry. .

This program is fantastic and very much needed

Accessible transportation is crucial for everyone. The TAP/RAP programs have filled a need for individuals with disabilities that standard mass transit cannot. The freedom to live a life without having to plan around fixed, mass transit routes is essential. This is especially important for individuals with disabilities who have limitations in abilities to navigate transit routes or live in suburban communities where they are severely limited or non-existent. The paratransit system without TAP/RAP is broken and unacceptable. Even when it's working correctly, rides are still difficult to schedule and limit accessibility. Maintaining TAP/RAP at its current levels is absolutely necessary to allow people to live lives as independently as possible. The programs have shown to be cost effective and wildly successful. Cutting the funding would be devastating and should not be done.

Please do not cut back on these vital services! They are critical to supporting individuals with special needs in their communities.

Please keep this service at the current number of rides per month.

This is fantastic!! Come on Illinois let’s get better taking care of our people that really need help!

please protect the transportation services for those with disabiltiies.

This service provides access to transportation for many people who need it and cutting it is discriminatory in nature

This service is vital to the community of disabled adults. It helps and contributes to them being able to lead a more independent and fulfilling life. Please do not cut funding or abolish this vital service

This system is vital for our son to get to and from work and medical appointments.

Cuts in this budget would be absolutely detrimental and debilitating to the disability community. It takes away freedoms all people should have access to.

I know many people for whom this is a lifeline to jobs and healthcare. This is not the place to make cuts!

I go to work everyday and the tap service has helped me keep my job. I use tap to get to work and get home from work. 30 rides is not enough to cover my rides to work in a month. I use tap because the pace bus almost made me lose my job coming late everyday. Even when I book 2 hours out they still came late and made me late for work everyday. I almost lost my job until I started using tap. Please dont decrease it this much.

I understand the need for cutbacks, but this is too drastic.

Rap and tap need to be expanded not limited to 30 rides per month leave the 8 per day at $3.25
