Share Your Experiences about Metro-Transit Call-A-Ride Services
In April 2023, Paraquad, along with other disability rights groups filed a complaint with the United States Department of Justice (US DOJ) regarding Metro Transit's failure to provide comparable service to its paratransit users. Paraquad is gathering stories from Call-A-Ride users to share with the US DOJ. Please fill out the survey to share your story!! The survey is being sent to the Department of Justice and was developed by DRA. It has been secured and scanned for viruses by DRA.
