Resident urges SFMTA to explain recent paratransit fare increases
Summary
A San Francisco resident told the board he received a late notice that a paratransit one-way fare rose by 2¢ and urged the agency to explain the timing and fairness of increases affecting riders in assisted living.
During general public comment on June 3, a member of the public, who identified himself as Trevor Weiner, urged the SFMTA to explain a small recent increase to paratransit fares. Weiner said he received a notice indicating a 2¢ increase to a one-way paratransit ticket and said the timing and notice were burdensome for riders living in assisted-living facilities. He asked the agency to investigate and provide an explanation of the increase and its notice procedures.
No staff response was given at length during the public-comment period; the board closed the public-comment segment and proceeded with the agenda.
