I had wondered why Hart Plus was transporting K-12 special needs students. I was recently told by a Hart Plus driver that they transport about 400 such students daily during the school year. This creates limited availability for rides during the early morning and mid to late afternoon times. I asked if HART gets additional funding for these transports and was told no. These kids are transported with other adult passengers and there is no Aide on the bus to provide supervision. That responsibility falls on the driver. I have experienced other Para transit service in other municipalities around the country and I had never encountered traveling with kids that look like they range from elementary to high school level.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Shanti<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #E1E1E1 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b>From:</b> NFBF-Tampa <nfbf-tampa-bounces@nfbnet.org> <b>On Behalf Of </b>Louise Peyton via NFBF-Tampa<br><b>Sent:</b> Tuesday, May 30, 2023 7:32 PM<br><b>To:</b> NFB of Florida Tampa Chapter List <nfbf-tampa@nfbnet.org><br><b>Cc:</b> Louise Peyton <lp2473@hotmail.com><br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [NFBF-Tampa] To the NFB Tampa chapter list<o:p></o:p></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Ineko:<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I was told by a staff member at the Lighthouse that the Florida Department of Transportation would be investigating all of Hartline including HartPlus and later making a decision about what to do about the company.
