SamTrans is seeking community members to join its Paratransit Advisory Council, which works to improve accessible transportation services for seniors and people with disabilities throughout San Mateo County, transport officials said.
The council includes paratransit riders, representatives of human service agencies, transportation providers, and other interested community members.
Its responsibilities include ensuring services comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act, monitoring Redi-Wheels service quality, promoting equal access for people with disabilities, and advocating for paratransit riders at the local and state levels, according to SamTrans.
The council also works to educate the public about available paratransit services and address the needs of riders.
Meetings are held at 1:30 p.m. on the second Tuesday of each month, except August. Meetings are open to the public, and attendees can provide public comment.
Community members interested in serving on the council can visit the Paratransit Advisory Council website or call 650-299-1442 for more information.
