Joe, you know that and I know that!  What their safety director is doing 
is alleging that three and four wheelers are inherently unsafe.  Had a 
call from their general manager to tell me that they were urging that the 
Q-straints be installed on the current 27 buses and that the "Seatle Red 
system" on future purchases.  Also tenative offering of a place on 
Mobility Impaired Advisory committee.  I feel like I can drop the current 
complaint, as long as it is without preudice.  That would allow 
reinstatement if they back out.  I'll never understand the minds of 
bureaucrats?  They think they can get away with anything!  The only thing 
worse are the Able and disABLED willing to allow us to be subject to this 
selective discrimination.  But I've long said when you rock the boad to 
move ahead you may get a little wet!  With your interests hope you make 
it to Atlanta when ADAPT begins it's efforts toward a NATIONWIDE 
attendant care policy.
