Paratransit riders are developing solutions to unfair fares and service cuts of the paratransit.


See Green Paratransit Plan and video slide show, article in Gapers Block by Sofia Resnick. Two reporters followed Dr. Maat 11 blocks to get to the nearest point to catch the suburban paratransit to get to a health appointment. We are still working with mechanical engineer Doug Larson on the Soular Car project. The article talks about the woes of Illinois paratransit that led us to call for a rider-owned paratransit. Good reading. Enjoy. Photo of prayer vigil conducted regarding fare hikes by Pace on paratransit. Pace still raised the fare Nov. 15, 2009 despite the governor's agreement on Nov. 11, 2009 that fares would not be increased for two years.
