Absolutely it has always been a  choice and it was only suggestion like she was describing the information for parent transit in that town but nothing about the fix bus route somehow that part was left out. Why not give both and not just the one.

Hello, there is absolutely nothing wrong with someone doing that if that is their choice. This is what it comes down to, choice.

Great information however what is wrong jumping on a  city bus instead of relying on parentransit?

Hello all,

For those of us going to New Orleans for the National Convention, and use paratransit, I am sending

you some information that will be helpful. 

Here are two telephone numbers that  will help you , First, the general number for New Orleans Paratransit is  504 873-7433. You use this number to schedule, modify, or cancel  trips while you are there. 

But,  to use the paratransit service, you will first need to have your local paratransit provider fax your certification letter to the New Orleans paratransit provider. You should do this right away, well in advance of your leaving for New Orleans. .  The Fax number is: 504-827-8428. 

I hope this information is useful.  See you in New Orleans. 

Gloria
