[Nfbf-l] Para-transit

[Jorge Hernandez]

Good evening all

Each county has its own protocol and it is difficult to fully understand the
reasons behind it.

In Miami-Dade county, it was that if the  vehicle was 30 minutes past your
window time the ride was free.  However, they did away with it a few years
ago.  Also, we do not get a receipt, but we can contact the broker "company"
and get a years end total  expense report.  Moreover, I have yet to see a
person get suspended for  too many no shows.

Now, that can change as the procurements change.  

Jorge Hernandez, President
Miami-Dade Chapter
