[nagdu] paratransit woes

[Tracy Carcione]

It bugs me that a person has to say they're completely helpless before
they can get paratransit.  To get it here in NJ, I'd have to say I can't
take the bus.  That's simply not true.  I can truthfully say I can't take
the bus to get everywhere I want to go, but that's not good enough.  So
far, I've been too proud to say I'm helpless. It's demeaning.
There used to be a person on this list from Washington state who said
their paratransit was open to anyone who needed it.  All one had to do was
say one needed it.  That seems better to me.
