Hi, William
  I am actively involved with the South East Minnesota Center for Independent
Living here in Rochester Minnesota. We also have a citizens advisory on transit
and a state task force on mainline transportation. 
  In regards to your statements on the issues of power chairs I have a few questions.
  1> Is the issue of transfer imposed on all types of power chairs or just 
    3 - wheelers
  2> Is there an interest to form a citizens coalition to work with the city
and local bus company to approve guidelines for use of mainline systems?
  3> Has the bus company recieved a copy of the Americans with Disabilities
Act so that they can set up a schedule of implimentation?
  
  I would be willing to provide information on what we have accomplished here
in Rochester.
  
  My address is :  Ernie Klechner
                   325 1st Ave. S.W. Apt #502
                   Rochester, Minn 55902
