Low vision group to hear about transit
Ted Frazier, supervisor of the city of Albany’s American Disability Act-required Para-Transit program, will be guest speaker for the Wednesday, June 16 meeting of the Mid-Valley Low Vision Support Group.
The group will meet at 2 p.m. at the Brookdale Grand Prairie senior living facility, 1929 Grand Prairie Road SE. Albany. The senior facility requires mouth coverings to be worn.
The ADA Para-transit program provides transportation to persons with a disability who cannot get to a City bus stop on the City’s regular fixed route. Low vision and no vision falls within the scope of the many disabilities that are required for people who may use this service. In addition to Frazier’s Para-Transit management, he also participates in the city’s Dial-A-Ride program which is for transportation for people over the age of 60. He has been with the city of Albany for 25 years.
Although he is not responsible for transportation for those who reside outside of Albany’s service area, Frazier is very knowledgeable about the service and is available for questions concerning such services in other mid-valley areas.
The Mid Valley Low Vision Support group is a self-founded nonprofit organization in its seventh year. There is no membership, no dues. Reservations are not required, and all are invited to attend. Light refreshments are served.
For more information, call (541) 974-6233.
