Busjack Posted July 4, 2025 Report Posted July 4, 2025 Shows what's messed up in the process: Chicago Tribune: Labor and disability advocates at odds over future of Chicago-area paratransit. Apparently part of the "Labor" RTA bill, the Teamsters representing employees of the paratransit contractors wanted some provision to address the complaint that the Rideshare Access Program"is a way for Pace to outsource union work to gig drivers." Notwithstanding the system is going broke. s Quote
busfan2847 Posted July 17, 2025 Report Posted July 17, 2025 Saw a new Coach & Equip paratransit vehicle, 25204, in Arlington Heights on Tuesday. Are they starting this batch at 25201? I cannot believe there are already 200 of them! Quote

What will be interesting is what numbers will be used for the Gillig BEBs. Quote

Thanks, that makes sense. I had forgot that as they haven't had 11 seaters since 2014. Quote

But since you say you work at R, why don't you ask your supervisor or dispatcher instead of here? Quote
