 JP>      Gosh, sounds like what we need here.  We have one (1) private cab
 JP> company that has lift equipped vans and they have sorry, unsafe 
 JP> equipment & service and charge an arm & leg.  If I were still using them
 JP> it would cost (last figures I have) about $680 per month to get to & 
 JP> from work.  That's if I NEVER go anywhere else!  And in Atlanta we rode
 JP> the lift vans for $1.25 each way!!
     
        One approach is to get ACLU to file a class action suit 
against the city transit system for failure to provide equal 
access.  Our local transit system helps underwrite the cost of 
our specialized transportation in order to meet the equal access 
requirements.
