[NFBK] TARC Draft Plans and TARC3 Coverage

[Slery]

Pretty sure we all knew that first statement wouldn't hold water. There was never any doubt in my mind that paratransit would be reduced.

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.

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."
