    Speaking Out for the Blind Episode 385- Same-Day Paratransit Innovation Act Apr 21, 2026
    Show notes

    The Same-Day Paratransit Innovation Act, or H.R. 8128, was just introduced in the House of Representatives. The Act plans to remove the rule of scheduling paratransit rides more than twenty-four hours in advance. Scheduling rides twenty-four hours in advance makes it difficult to take care of last-minute needs. The last-minute needs might include work meetings and unexpected doctor visits. H.R. 8128 would call for same day paratransit services. The same-day services would give riders greater control, flexibility, and independence over their schedules. ACB’s Director of Advocacy and Governmental Affairs Claire Stanley is here to talk about the Same-Day Paratransit Innovation Act.
