- The RIDE Advocacy Project
The RIDE Advocacy
Project (RAP) is a grassroots community-organizing effort aimed
at bringing THE RIDE, the MBTA's paratransit service for people
with disabilities, into compliance with Title II of the
Americans with Disabilities Act. RAP members, most of whom have
disabilities or chronic illness themselves, are deeply concerned
about the poor quality of RIDE service and its negative impact
on RIDE users. We are committed to bringing about improvements
in RIDE service by building alliances within the larger
disability community, as well as among health care and service
providers, and together holding the MBTA and its vendors
accountable for providing safe, reliable, accessible service to
all eligible riders.
Contact RAP from 9-5
at (617) 277-0080 (messages only).
