Relates to paratransit services, permitting an applicant to submit correspondence from a licensed physician in lieu of an in-person assessment.
AI Summary
This bill relates to paratransit services, which are transportation services for people with disabilities. The bill permits an applicant to submit correspondence from a licensed physician instead of undergoing an in-person assessment to receive paratransit service. The bill also requires the transportation authority to establish rules and regulations for the form and content of the physician's correspondence. This change aims to provide a more convenient option for individuals seeking paratransit services by allowing them to submit a physician's letter instead of going through an in-person evaluation.
