[Ohio-talk] Dayton project mobility

Fri Sep 16 22:15:45 UTC 2011

Hi.
So I went to Wright State as well, and I had to use Project Mobility every 
day to go to my internship for the social work program.
This situation is so surprising to me, because I always found Project 
Mobility to be pretty helpful.  I saw some people suggested filing 
complaints, has he tried talking to a supervisor? Also, has he tried to 
involve disability services at WSU? Maybe they have a resource of someone to 
talk to within Project Mobility or a suggestion.  I hope you guys get some 
help with this issue!
Nikki

Kyle is doing his student teaching/practicum this quarter. He is in the 
classroom until 11:10 each day. He is having problems with the bus arriving 
more than 20 minutes early and expecting him to come right out. Last Friday 
the bus was just beginning to pull out when he came out of the building. The 
driver told him she was going to leave him and that she had made him late to 
pick up her grandson. Today the driver did leave before he came out. His 
pick up time is 11:15 and he came out right at 11:15. The driver said she 
waited for 24 minutes for him. Now he won't be picked up until 12:15 and 
this is going to cause him to miss his class at WSU. Has anyone else had 
this problem in Dayton? How did you get it resolved?

Many of the people that will be coming to the convention by bus are airline
has par transit in there city. You can arrange to be picked up for 15.00
dollars. From the airport. Those who are arriving on the bus can get the par
transit to pick them up from the station and get to the hotel for 3.50 each
way.  For a very limited amount of people depending on the time you arrive I
may be able to get some people rides if we know very early of the time you
will arrive. Let me clarify no we are not able to provide everyone
transportation but it may be that some of us would be stuck with no
reasonable way to arrive to the convention. This would be determined on a
case by case bases. You can call me and we could arrange a ride that would
have some cost associated with it. Richard 937-298-6677

Greetings,
      The below phone number for the convention hotel has the wrong area
code.  It should be 937.   Also the hotel worker told me the greyhound
station has moved.  He told me it is about 25 miles from the hotel.
Unfortunately the station is outside the hotel's pick up radius.

            Thank you Jerry >
