Comment from Wheeling Forward
Wheeling ForwardOpposeAdvocacy
Summary: Representatives from Wheeling Forward and the NYC Chapter of United Spinal Association are opposing the FTA's proposed guidance, which they argue would prohibit transit agencies from partnering with Transportation Network Companies (TNCs) like Uber and Lyft for paratransit services. They contend that the proposed drug and alcohol testing requirements are disproportionate, stifle innovation, and limit mobility and choice for the disability community.
