I am currently able bodied. So I have no lived experience with OCTranspo. I am a future ParaTranspo user. I have an invisible disability already (a bad knee which means I can’t safely use back doors most days). In 2022, I should have applied for a temporary ParaTranspo access.

Here are the final plans for the celebration of life for @veganlovebunny.
Please share the information on other social platforms so we don’t miss anyone.
#VLBFriend
The celebration takes place in four parts. For the physical gathering, you can drop in as you wish. There is no formal ceremony. There are stations which you can choose to participate in or not as you wish. There is a separate online event for others.

It's a longish thread with some polls at the end.
Dates: August 23-25
Many of her friends knew her only online. For lots of reasons, not everyone can attend a physical event. So there will be an online event as well. It will be after physical event. Sunday August 25

The issue with transit commission is bigger than smells. The discussion is about equity - who matters. Only tall people? Only people with poor sense of smell? Those able to deal with commute times than vary by 30min from day-to-day? The rich? 1/
The commission's job is to balance the competing demands. They represent a review board when choices / directives need to be made. They consider and give feedback on staff and council plans / decisions. 2/

Some observations on night service:
1.why oh why is @OC_Transpo running articulated buses at 2 am? (97 both directions, 45 Hospital and 39 Rideau) 2. Why is 39 Millenium running 10 mins late on 30 min schedule in middle of night with perfect weather? 1/n3. I'm not an @OC_Transpo rookie. There were multiple places the route entirely confused me ie 97 Rideau goes to Lees and Chapel before Lees LRT. 4. 39 Blair leaving Blair towards Rideau is mislabeled. I don't know if the problem is GPS or data. 2/n

This will be unpopular. Please read full thread before telling me off. #transit#octranspo#meeting#ottpoli 1/n
The Nov 6th #Transit Commission will be extraordinary meeting and should be treated as such. #ottpoli

All day today I'll be taking the #StopGapOttawa24hrAccessibilityChallenge ... "spend a day avoiding anywhere that is not accessible" and detail the day on Twitter as I go. So today some tweets will not be transit related.
My current home is only suitable for a person who can climb stairs. Like thousands living in a townhouse, I would have to move if mobility changed. A stair lift is not an option. No ground floor bathing or possible bedroom. #StopGapOttawa24hrAccessibilityChallenge
