[Ohio-Talk] transportation as a legislative topic

[ryan sima]

Dear NFB family,
I am happy there will be a Columbus seminar which has not happened in a while. I am however saddened that transportation is yet again not one of the topics. I agree whole heartitly that prescriptions and the current topics are great. However, in the 10 years I have been in the NFB, it appears transportation like paratransit has never been a concern or issue brought up. Uber and Lyft was more towards discrimination of service animals rather than actual transportation. So I am asking people on the legislative committee and the affiliate to consider how we can address the issues of transportation, particularly paratransit. One thing for sure is part of the governors budget can go more towards paratransit as apposed to the Browns Statium. 

Thank you,
