Paratransit plan update

Today, the Ministry of Tourism and Transport held a consultation meeting with licensed taxi operators servicing the mobility impaired on the Island.

Junior Minister of Tourism and Transport Sen. Marc Bean said, “The purpose of the meeting was to seek taxi operators’ views on the proposed Paratransit Strategy and Business Plan. The goal is to establish paratransit service that will provide transportation to Bermuda’s mobility impaired population. The meeting was informative and the taxi operators gave invaluable information that will be used going forward in establishing this service for the people in our community.”

The proposed plan clearly establishes a proposed framework for the paratransit system that will be customized to suit the needs of Bermuda’s mobility impaired. The plan was presented to the taxi operators by Ms. Jane Bret, Policy Analyst for the Department of Human Affairs and Mr. Marc Drew who have worked closely with the Paratransit Taskforce.
