[blindlaw] N.Y. Times Article

[Angela Matney]

In a prior (nonlegal) job, I had a caseload that involved some very rural areas here in Virginia. The agency hired a reader/driver. I think that would be the only way you could operate in some rural areas, because as Susan notes, taxies aren't uniformly available.

Believe me, there are even urban areas (like my city) which make it difficult - while we do have para-transit, the scheduling is such that large portions of time are wasted waiting for either the ride or an appointment to begin, and nothing can be done with less than 24 hours'
notice.  Buses are equally difficult, because of the routing system.
That leaves only very expensive taxis...but even that might not be available in rural areas.
