Yeah, with all these new programs coming out, I'm seriously 
reconsidering applying for metro access. It would help me with 
transportation immensely. Although, I wonder, and those of you 
who are really familiar with metro access can hopefully tell me, 
I did apply a long while ago, and was accepted. This was though, 
in the state of Virginia. Does this mean I'll have to reapply, or 
can I simply renew my membership?

Hi all,

I scheduled my first trip with Abilities Ride today. They 
definitely
seemed a bit unorganized. At first, the rep asked me what my 
co-pay
would be, and I told her I understood that I would only have to 
pay
$5. Eventually, she got around to asking me what my Metro Access 
ID
number was (even though I told her up front that I was a Metro 
Access
customer). Then she asked me for my "pass". I said "I'm not sure 
what
that is. Do you mean my password that I use to log into my Metro
Access account?" Then she apparently realized she did not need 
that
from me, and we eventually got the trip scheduled.

I guess there are wrinkles to work out with the start of a new
program, which is understandable. But I think it has the 
potential to
be a very good alternative to Metro Access.

 Mobility ride program,
 Terry,
 You can't mix the Mobility ride program with Call and ride 
program. Yes it
 is like mixing apples and oranges and you can't do that since I 
inquired
 with Regency staff who were familiar with this new program.

 What do you tell the cab company when booking your trip, so they 
do
 not charge you normally.  Also, can this be combined with call 
and
 ride or do you need cash or credit card.  I would think call and 
ride
 would be out.
 Like mixing apples and oranges!
 Thinking of trying it.
 Was your wait  longer than a normal cab?

 I agree the rollout was poor. However, I took two trips 
yesterday and
 one today. Today, they were better organized. It beats a blank!

 Hi everyone,

 Someone who has connections at WMATA forwarded me an email with 
a link
 to the website for the new Abilities Ride program. As mentioned 
at the
 meeting on Saturday, there was not a lot of information provided 
by
 Metro about the program, but this website has phone numbers and
 website links. I personally think they should have sent out 
emails or
 a Metro alert, but it is what it is. Here is the link:

 www.abilities-ride.com

 Hope everyone is having a great day,

 Shickeytha
