Subject: [ADA Expertise] Request for meeting to discuss proposed Transit budget
Wednesday, February 02, 2011
Dear Mr. Kapoor:

I was recently informed that the Transit Department’s proposed budget is due to be submitted to the Board of County Commissioners by July 15th, 2011. I am writing to invite you to come to the Center for Independent Living of South Florida to discuss the proposed budget, to receive input from the disability community, and to answer questions from members of the disability community.

For several months, we have invited you to talk with us, and you have assured us that you would, but have not yet done so. You promised transparency, and responsiveness, but have never shown up, and have created a great deal of concern within the community about possible cuts to the Paratransit budget.

When would you be available to meet? Do you plan to recommend cutting the Paratransit budget?

Thank you.
Marc
