I'm pushing every lever I can, to get this off the ground.
Please ask everyone you know to vote for this idea.
Thanks!

Mobility Matters: Paratransit Services
One in fifty Americans in paralyzed. In Steuben County, 20.8% (over
19,000) of the population is disabled and there is no on-demand
para-ransit. Public transportation is minimal .There is also no
grocery delivery in the area, described as "micropolitan."
This project would procure a paratransit taxi and make
transportation, mobility and access available to the
mobility-challenged and wheelchair users in this area. The link
between poverty and disability is widely recognized, yet without
transportation, there is no way the mobility-challenged can get to
work, shop, or fully participate in the community. ParaTransit
Services would remedy this inequity.
If funded the next steps would be:
Secure 501c3 status
Get an accountant
Get an attorney
Short term Lease of a Parataxi
Hire a Driver
Hire a part time dispatcher
Thanks for listening!
Thanks for your support!
