I have discussed this with the drivers and they really aren't sure. I
don't want to talk to the people that I have been talking to at the
transit. Truthfully I'm not sure if I want them to know what I am up
to. I made a phone call to the woman that assessed me for the transit (she
is the one that meets with the people and makes sure they are unable to ride the
fixed route), I had to leave a message and have a list of questions for
when she calls me back. I'll figure it out. Thanks for the
info.

Some of your questions cannot be answered with short answers,
but I will try
my best. When dealing with the transportation system
and its employees, you
have to remember that you are working with people
barely making min wages.
Grab any literature you can during the
rides and ask simple questions like, who's
your boss or who's your boss's
boss. Somewhere inside the bus is a
Certificate of Authority
which is issued by the Agency that controls the bus/van or
transport
vehicle, whether private or government supported. It could be local
city or town government or county that grants the authority. Or,
just ask the
question from the driver that you would like someday to
become a member of the
transport authority board and you would like some
information. I would tell
that person the reason why you want that
info. If you get one piece of info
each day for a week....you'll be
learning alot in short time.
Occasionally, the public is invited to board
meetings. Find out when and
where they are held.
This is a good
start. Best Wishes. W

they have me screwed up for tomorrow. OH MY
GOD! It's gonna
take every fiber in my body to not lose my mind when I call
there
tomorrow. Who do I contact to find out who appoints the positions on the
board? Oh, I did find out also that they are trying to get the price
lowered
again. I hope it passes. Makes me want to push harder to try to
get on that
board.
