Members sought for new Paratransit Advisory Committee
By Staff | Jul 23, 2021
WAILUKU A new Paratransit Advisory Committee being formed to improve paratransit travel is seeking members. The committee will consist of six to nine members, who may be riders, caregivers, business owners, representatives of government and nonprofit organizations, and the general public. The goal of the advisory panel is to provide a link between those who use American Disabilities Act paratransit services and Maui Economic Opportunity, which has the contract with Maui County to operate the paratransit system, and the Maui County Department of Transportation. Paratransit services are available to persons with disabilities who are unable to ride the regular Maui Bus.
