Testimonials 16
Testimonials The new model with multiple service providers will improve services for all Paratransit riders, in the area of on-time performance, ride availability, and travel time. The positive feedback that Lyft pilot participants have provided during PAAG meetings was beneficial in helping me to establish a successful Lyft pilot program for My Ride Dallas. Brittney Tree Manager My Ride Dallas PAAG Member As one of the longest serving PAAG members, I have seen DART Paratransit in many different phases of success. I am excited for what the future will hold for the ridership that I represent. Any change causes my ridership to panic. This is, until, what is given to them is more successful than what they had. People are different and their transportation needs are as well. I will have many who will still require full service ADA compliant trips glad to see this is not changing. Stacey Rogers Executive Director Metrocrest Services PAAG Member I really enjoy the same day service. The two hour pick up (window) has allowed me to make great planning for last minute events, and has given much more freedom to me. (The) Lyft Pilot program extended scheduling rides to seven days a week. The drivers have been on time and courteous in their greetings. Many have helped me with packages and patiently waited until I am safely in my doorway before driving away. The vehicles are clean, and I always feel safe. Marsha Gale Hampton PAAG Member DART Paratransit Customer & Lyft Pilot Participant My experience with Paratransit now is in some instances sub-par. I am interested in a service that would offer letting me call anytime and schedule to go wherever I want to go. I can t do that right now. I would love to be able to go the grocery store, a movie, or work and get a ride right when I want it and have the same opportunity as those on Lyft and Uber. I am thankful that the (current) service exists I would love to be able to call right when I am needing to go somewhere to get a ride. Angela White PAAG Member DART Paratransit Customer 17
Testimonials For more than 27 years, I have benefited from DART s Mobility Management services. Even with total blindness, I have maintained fulltime employment which requires the reliable transportation I have come to count on through DART... The biggest overall improvement has been the ontime pick-ups and deliveries through Mobility Management assisted Lyft transportation. Blake Lindsay Director, Communications Dallas Lighthouse for the Blind DART Paratransit Customer & Lyft Pilot Participant I just want to tell you how happy I am and that I have been able to use my skills to their fullest abilities due to the ride to work not being stressful. Lyft is not stressful and as a visually impaired person I feel a lot more independent. Reginald Howard DART Paratransit Customer & Lyft Pilot Participant On demand service is wonderful, and Lyft is the way to go. Since I have been using Lyft, the commute from home to work and vice versa is a wonderful experience. I truly believe Lyft service provides a level of independence unmatched by regular paratransit. Sam Jackson Employee and Client Advocate Dallas Lighthouse for the Blind DART Paratransit Customer & Lyft Pilot Participant The trip was a good one and went very smoothly. The driver was courteous, professional, friendly, and helpful. This morning s ride was stellar! Rhonda, my driver, was friendly, kind, efficient, and professional. She was even at the right place in front of my apartment. Rhanda Hasley DART Paratransit Customer & Lyft Pilot Participant 18
