We are interested in collecting info on the impact of the AAR (Access-A-Ride) strike.
We believe AAR is an essential service that should be run directly by MTA/NYCT, to remove the City & MTA's ability to hide behind their statements that they "were not a party to the strike". We hope that seniors will join us.
The PWD (persons with disability) community was sorely hit by the strike. The 4 companies provided 50% of AAR's capacity approximately 9,000 rides a day. Given that the MTA/City non-contingency plan favored subscription users with a priority for medical trips, users who call for each trip should have been decimated.
I would greatly appreciate it if you could forward this e-mail, as we are trying to gather info from a wide base. AAR serves riders with disability regardless of age, we need to stand united!
