We don't have a Para Transit here..but there is a organization here called OPEN and they will drive someone somewhere..like for example...I have Skin Cancer..there isn't a place for me to go to here, so I have to go to UC Davis in Sacramento..it is about 100 miles away from me...and I don't have a car, we have city busses but they don't go there...so OPEN is going to take me there on June 30th for free...they have a fund raiser once a year to get the money they need..they also do other things for the poor old or disabled

YAY!!!! Debi!!! I am starting Corning ParaTransit Services--- a paratransit nonprofit. There is next to no public transportation here and no public paratransit. "House Bound" is not solely a function of disability -- it's about the LACK OF TOOLS. A friend argued with me when i suggested that not everyone who gets Meals on Wheels may need it. She's in New York City with cabs, subways, buses, dial a ride, and deliveries. Up here, NO ONE DELIVERS unless its Drugs, Chinese Food or Pizza!!!! No Groceries and no buses to get groceries! 20.8% of my county is Disabled. Perhaps that's why I'm here and afflicted with TM. To make a change! Dare to Struggle! Dare to Win! Akua --
