This document seeks public comments on a petition for rulemaking from
Access Services concerning the Department's regulations implementing the
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) with respect to the method of
determining the fare for a trip charged to an ADA paratransit eligible
user. The petition asks the Department to revise its regulation to allow
for a “coordinated” or two-tier fare structure. The current regulation
provides that the fare shall not exceed twice the fare that would be
charged to an individual paying full fare for a similar trip on the fixed
route system.

Comments must be received by September 21, 2015.
