We are calling for the creation of a City of Rochester Community Review Board. Under the current regulatory system, the RGRTA board recommends changes to local municipalities. The municipalities can accept or reject the proposed changes. Each locality can wield veto power. We are calling for the Rochester City administration to convene a review board consisting of people with disabilities who use Lift Line, local service providers and people who ride the buses. We want this review board to be empowered to instruct the City administration on proposed RGRTA policy changes.
