[nagdu] Questions about Federal regs regarding paratransit

[Margo and Elmo]

Lol!  Luckily, the ADA coordinator for the Niagara Frontier Transit 
Authority is a good lady who knows a lot and will tell you if she does not 
know and will proceed to find out.  she thought it was awful that these 
people were denied trips and that they had to tell every time they reserved 
that they had a guide dog.  I would not like to be in her presence if 
someone denied a ride to a disabled passenger.
