[NFBK] TARC Draft Plans and TARC3 Coverage

[Katie Adkins]

Hi everyone,

During our meeting with TARC tonight we were made aware that some of the
information listed on the accessible materials website was inaccurate.
Previously, it stated, "In both the Enhanced and Limited Networks, the area
covered by TARC routes would decline, which would reduce the minimum
required service area where TARC must provide paratransit service to people
with disabilities. In the Limited and Enhanced Networks, TARC plans to
continue serving currently eligible customers even in areas beyond the
three-fourths of a mile zone around its routes."  This statement led riders
to believe that TARC3 users would still receive services, even if they were
no longer in the service area, after the draft plans were implemented.
Unfortunately, this statement is incorrect and should not have been
included.  At this time, TARC has not made a decision about what will
happen to paratransit service outside of the 3/4 mile requirement.

The website has been updated and now states, "In both the Enhanced and
Limited Networks, the area covered by TARC routes would decline, which
would reduce the minimum required service area where TARC must provide
paratransit service to people with disabilities. This could affect
paratransit service in areas that would no longer be covered by a
fixed-route line. TARC is still analyzing whether any changes to
paratransit service will be proposed as part of these plans."

Thank you,
Katie Adkins
