Potholes, Other Street Repair
- Case Date:
- 9/30/2024
There are two pot holes here about 10 yards apart. They are growing so quickly that within days they might become one. No. Seriously. They are gigantic. Without repairing them asap we run the risk of them opening up so widely the world itself it swallowed up and flips into another dimension. For now, we only risk people’s tires and shocks on their cars. But that risk grow with every moment that passes.

As required in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, a personal care attendant (PCA) does not pay a fare when accompanying a BT Access customer on a paratransit ride. However, Bloomington Transit reportedly requires that the PCA must pay a fare when accompanying a BT Access customer on a fixed-route bus. This fare policy creates unfortunate accessibility and financial burdens for BT Access customers. Bloomington Transit should revise this policy to go beyond the minimum and allow PCAs to ride for free on fixed route buses.
Under Department of Transportation (DOT) Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) regulations at 49 C.F.R. Section 37.131(c)(3), a personal care attendant (PCA) may not be charged a fare for complementary paratransit service. PCAs may be charged a fare on fixed route. While some transit systems go beyond the minimum requirements of the ADA and allow PCAs to ride for free, there is no requirement that they do so.
