[Nfbc-info] Nfbc-info Digest, Vol 125, Issue 30and NFBC bus question

Hi Jordan,

Most of the bus ride will be on I5 freeway.  It will feel as if you are
riding in a car.

As far as the bathroom usage, you are allowed to use while we are moving.
You will need to be cautious while inside the bathroom.  There is no sink
inside the bathroom.

Joy

I have never ridden on a bus for an extended amount of time before. I do
have a few questions about the bus ride. Is the bus ride jerky, like a fix
route bus, or smooths? Will the bus driver get in trouble with the law if we
use the bathroom while we are moving?

> Who or what will you be at the Halloween masquerade ball? Shhh.  Don't
tell anyone. Just throw on your costume and mask and meet us at the ball for
a spooky good time. There will be prizes given out and there will be a
little suites for the trick-or-treaters. Put on your best dancing shoes for
a spin around The dance floor. There will be a five dollar donation at the
door. I will bring extra masks and a few accessories for those Who couldn't
find anything.
> Also, to all Chapter Presidents, division presidents, board members and
fellow Federationist:
> This is just a friendly reminder to bring all door prizes (valued at $25)
to the state convention. You have come through for us in the past and we are
looking forward to The same generosity again. Janeen Rockwell-Owens and
myself will receive all door prizes. We will announce our room numbers at
the board meeting on Friday.

>> Subject: [Nfbc-info] safety concern for service dog on para transit 
>> bus
>> 
>> Hello All,
>> 
>> 
>> 
>> I'm seeking  to better understand disability law requirements 
>> concerning the safety of service dogs while riding para transit busses.
>> 
>> 
>> 
>> Very recently there was no room on the para transit bus for my 
>> service dog, that is, before I agreed to let my dog lay in the isle. My
dog slid around.
>> Luckily, the only person walking around was the driver. 
>> 
>> 
>> 
>> When I sit in the second seat, on the right hand of the para transit 
>> bus, there's nothing to prevent my dog from sliding forward and under 
>> the seat in front of us. Directly across isle from the second seat 
>> that is behind the driver. When the floor heater is not on the 
>> seating area is perfect because my dog does not slide in any direction.
>> 
>> 
>> 
>> I know that para transit is required to secure wheel chairs and items 
>> such as the push carts or suitcases. What would it take to create 
>> safety features such as making a crate available. It would be 
>> secured. Or, making it so that the service dogs could not slide 
>> forward under the seat? Also, is it lawful to request seating which
prevents the dog from sliding in any direction?
>> 
>> 
>> 
>> Also, why is it so that para transit provides most of their 
>> correspondence in large print and fails to send letters via Email with
OCR?
>> 
>> 
>> 
>> From,
>> 
>> Lisa Irving and Bernie
>>
