Public transit officials lament riders defecting to suburbia By Walt Gibbs Of the Examiner Staff 9/27/87 More than 15,000 mass-transit officials from around North America have descended on Moscone Center to debate how bus and train agencies can survive in the age of suburbanization — the age of the auto. "Ridership is now at the level it was in the mid-1960s and half of what it was at the end of World War II," Robert Kiley, head of a national committee studying the future of transit, told members of the American Public Transit Association Monday. He also said transit systems are running further in the red than they did in the past. In 1965, he said, the average passenger fare covered all but 2 cents of the actual cost of a ride; in 1987, the fare is 90 cents short of paying for the ride, and subsidies make up the deficit. "We're at a critical point in our industry's history," said Kiley, chairman of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority of New York. The reason is demographic change, he said. People used to live in the suburbs and work downtown, Kiley said. But as traditional industry wanes and the service economy booms, job centers are springing up in low-density suburbs served poorly by mass transit. Some major corporations in San Francisco, including Bank of America and Pacific Bell, have moved offices to the East Bay and Marin County. Golden Gate Transit, AC Transit and BART are all grappling with ridership declines attributed partly to such changing commute patterns. But these and other Bay Area agencies this week have shined up their buses and train cars and laid aside their local problems to serve as hosts. A prototype of BART's new "C" cars, which will help double the system's capacity, was on display. So was a model car of San Jose's new light-rail system, dubbed SCAT for Santa Clara County Area Transit. Glistening buses representing almost every Bay Area agency streamed past the entrance to the convention hall, where 425 exhibitors from 15 countries showed off the latest in transit technology. "The people of the Bay Area can be justifiably proud," said APTA Chairwoman Reba Malone of San Antonio, admiring everything from the cable cars to BART. Municipal Railway General Manager Bill Stead introduced a nine-minute film, paid for by Bay Area transit agencies, that he said made the regional bus and train network "look like Disneyland." In fact, he said, the 7,000-mile system is a "world-class work horse" serving 1.6 million passengers a day. Only New York and Chicago exceed the Bay Area in the percentage of commuters who use mass transit, he said. In the streets outside the convention, meanwhile, hundreds of disabled demonstrators continued protests demanding full access to the nation's transit facilities. A group called the September Alliance for Accessible Transit has been conducting civil disobedience protests since Sunday by blocking buses or the paths of convention goers. On Tuesday, about 25 demonstrators, mostly in wheelchairs, blocked the cable car line on Powell Street near Market. The transit line was left idle for about 40 minutes as a noontime crowd watched protesters block the cable car's path or get off their wheelchairs and lie on the cable Car turnaround. As of 1 p.m., at least 15 people had been arrested. Fifty-six protesters were arrested Sunday and Monday, mostly on charges of deliberately blocking sidewalks or streets. Demonstrators staged a noisy protest Sunday night in front of City Hall that ended with the arrest of 22 people, 16 of them in wheelchairs, for obstructing traffic. One protester, who was not in a wheelchair, was charged with knocking a police officer to the pavement. The first arrests Monday came after demonstrators, many in wheelchairs, blocked an entrance to Moscone Center where shuttle buses deposited delegates to the transit group's convention. Picture by United Press International displays Disabled protesters block shuttle bus carrying delegates to S.F. public-transit convention. Police charged 25 demonstrators with obstructing traffic and released them. Protest organizer Marilyn Golden said, "Great headway in public transit access for the handicapped has been made in a number of cities, but there is no coordinated national program. That's what we are seeking. If this convention adopts a national policy, we will go away quietly." Officials of the transit group have said they feel the access question should be handled on a local level. John D. O'Connor of The Examiner staff contributed to this report. - ADAPT (377)

Title: Police arrest 20 in transit protest by handicapped SAN FRANCISCO (AP) – Police arrested 20 protestors outside City Hall Sunday, including one man booked for investigation of assaulting a police officer, as 500 handicapped people from around the country demonstrated over restrictive public transportation. Hundreds of disabled people who are demanding access to public transit systems in every U.S. city have threatened to block city streets, hotel lobbies and entrances to the Moscone Convention Center through Wednesday during a national public transit conference. “If it were women or blacks who couldn’t get on the bus it would clearly be a civil rights issue,” said Kitty Cone of Berkeley, a member of September Alliance for Accessible Transit. An unidentified man was arrested for investigation of assault on a police officer when he got into an altercation with officers arresting protestors in wheelchairs who blocked the main entrance to the stately city building. A reception was being held for members of the American Public Transit Association inside. “The officer fell backward and received a slight concussion when he hit his head on the steps,” police spokesman Richard Galliani said. The other 19 people – all of whom were in the wheelchairs – were arrested for investigation of blocking a sidewalk, resisting arrest and failure to disperse, all misdemeanor charges, said Galliani. They were transported to San Francisco jail in several vans equipped to accommodate wheelchairs. - ADAPT (376)

Caption: Disabled protesters blocked a SamTrans bus Monday at the American Public Transit Association convention taking place this week at Moscone Center. [Headline] Bitter Protests at Transit Meet By: Carol Farron [This story continues on a second page we do not have at this time.] Disabled people from throughout the United States are angry and have gathered in San Francisco this week to protest the lack of accessibility on public transit systems throughout the nation. The protesters are hoping to force transit officials who are convening at the annual meeting of the American Public Transit Association to change their thinking on transit accessibility for the disabled. APTA, public transit's biggest lobbying group, took the lead in the early 1980s in convincing Congress to overturn federal regulations allowing full transit accessibility for the disabled. What resulted from that decision was a "local option" plan. This allowed individual transit agencies to decide if they would provide accessibility for the disabled on fixed route service or an alternate van/taxi service. Many disabled `groups` are unhappy with that outcome, charging that the local option denies them their civil rights and impedes or prohibits their ability to attend school or hold down jobs because of a lack of transportation. Additionally, many disabled say that paratransit is a paternalistic system that segregates them from society, and users are made to feel helpless. APTA members contend that full accessibility is expensive and unworkable. They say that equipping buses and trains with lifts is too expensive given the number of disabled riders. The disabled, however, say that transit's estimates of disabled riders are low, and accessible transit can work as cities like Seattle, San Francisco and Denver have proven. More than 200 wheelchair bound men and women said last Saturday at a press conference that because the current regulations deny them their civil rights they came prepared to be arrested - and that they were. Thirty-four people, most in wheelchairs, were arrested at a City Hall protest last Sunday, and another 22 were arrested in for blocking a Samtrans bus at Moscone Center on Monday. Many more arrests are expected until the convention's conclusion this Thursday. "This is a militant bunch of protestors," said Jack Gilstrap, executive vice president of APTA. "These people terrified and roughed up some of our members at city hall. "Just because someone is in a wheelchair doesn't mean they're nice." Marilyn Golden of SAAT, the September Alliance for Accessible Transit, said her group is "far from militant." see Rides, page 2 - ADAPT (374)
Disabled Protesters Arrested New York Times 9-29-87 San Francisco, Sept. 28 (AP)- Disabled people demanding better access to mass transit systems across the nation blocked buses today at a transit association convention, while the number of arrests in two days of protests rose to at least 54. Sgt. Jerry Senkir of the San Francisco police said 25 to 30 people were arrested today for failing to leave the scene of an unlawful assembly and for blocking the sidewalk and street. Nine others were arrested later in the day for failing to disperse outside the Hilton Hotel, where the American Public Transit Association was holding some of its meetings, the police said. On Sunday, 20 protesters were arrested for blocking the sidewalk outside City Hall during a rally of 500 disabled people. One of the demonstrators, Allan Shipley of San Francisco, 40 years old, was arrested for investigation of assaulting an officer. About 150 people, most of them in wheelchairs, traveled about a mile today under police escort to the convention center where the transit association was meeting. “It’s a very emotional issue for disabled people to have come out here and do this”, said Judy Heumann of the World Institute on Disability, an organization based in Berkeley. For more than 10 years, `groups` of disabled transit riders have urged the association to declare a national policy giving disabled commuters access to the same buses and trains that the rest of the public rides. Some local transit districts carry disabled riders on buses specially equipped for passengers in wheelchairs. - ADAPT (373)

Boxed Text: 'They're our heroes. They're standing up for us and everybody.' Title: Wheelchair Protesters' Day in Court By Jack Viets and L. A. Chung The San Francisco protests by wheelchair demonstrators seeking better access to public transportation finally rolled to an end yesterday in a Hall of Justice courtroom. Since Sunday, a total of 134 of the demonstrators have been arrested during a series of protests that ranged from a rally at San Francisco's City Hall to a 2 1/2 hour shutdown of the city's historic Powell Street cable car line by a wheelchair army Tuesday. The protests were staged to oppose the policies of the American Public Transit Association, which ends four days of meetings today in San Francisco. Groups representing disabled persons contend that all transit vehicles, even the historic cable cars, should be accessible to wheelchairs. Although there were more demonstrations yesterday, there were no new arrests.' The 43 protesters who were held Tuesday night in a Hall of Justice gym on misdemeanor charges stemming from their arrests were all released yesterday. They had pleaded no contest to a charge of obstruction. Municipal Court Judge Phil Moscone waived $50 fines in light of the time they had spent in custody. Some 90 other protesters who had been cited but not booked also pleaded no contest and their fines also were waived. Outside the courtroom, the hallway echoed with cheers and applause from nearly 100 other persons in wheelchairs as the first group of 14 wheelchair defendants to appear before the judge were released. "They're our heroes," said Connie Arnold of San Rafael. "They're standing up for us and everybody." Inside the jammed courtroom, 6-year-old Jennifer Keelan — the youngest person to participate in the demonstrations — sat in her wheelchair and watched the proceedings with her mother, Cynthia. "I am her parent," her mother said. "But this is her disabled family and these are her brothers and sisters." Earlier in the day, during a bizarre demonstration of just how tough the access problems of the disabled really are, a band of people in wheelchairs were denied access to the federal Department of Transportation offices at 211 Main Street. The entire building is leased by the General Services Administration. When they rolled into the building's elevators to visit the 11th floor offices of the Urban Mass Transportation Administration and the secretary of transportation's regional representative, electrical power to the elevators was abruptly shut off. The visitors were informed by a man in a blue blazer that they were in a private building and not a public building, and that police would be asked to remove them if they did not leave. He identified himself as the building manager, but refused to give his name. Amid cries that they were experiencing George Orwell's "1984," the protesters began chanting: "We will ride. We will ride." However, the elevators did not move. Shortly after noon, San Francisco police warned the demonstrators that they were "on private property, and we ask you to disperse." If they failed to leave, the demonstrators would be arrested, officers said. Police did promise the wheelchair visitors that they would be given ample time to make their way out of the building. - ADAPT (334)

Arizona Republic Saturday, April 11, 1987 Title: Wheelchair Activists are Released from Jail By J.F. Torrey The Arizona Republic Sixteen wheelchair activists who had blocked city buses and picketed a transportation convention earlier this week were released Friday after three days in jail. The 16 pleaded no contest to a variety of misdemeanor charges, including trespassing and obstructing a public thoroughfare. Phoenix Municipal Judge Michael Lester sentenced the defendants, all members of the Denver-based American Disabled for Accessible Public Transit, to three days in jail. They were credited with the three days they had served and released. Phoenix police made 73 arrests this week of people in wheelchairs who had blocked buses and disrupted meals and meetings held in conjunction with the Western meeting of the American Public transit Association. The 16 released Friday had been arrested Tuesday after they rolled their wheelchairs in front of buses at the downtown Phoenix Transit System terminal and several other bus stops. The group wants all mass-transit buses equipped with lifts for handicapped passengers. A number of those jailed Wednesday had been arrested at the earlier demonstrations, and it is common for people arrested a second time on misdemeanor counts to be jailed, said Sgt. Brad Thiss, a Phoenix police spokesman. The hearing for 14 of the defendants was held in a room at Maricopa County Durango Jail because of the difficulty of transporting the defendants to the Madison Street Jail, where hearings usually are held. Two protesters held at Madison Street were released Friday night. Joe Rossano, a spokesman for the county Sheriff’s Office, said that inmates usually are held at Madison Street but that the group of 14 protesters was brought to Durango so they could be kept together and have more exercise room. “We wanted to keep them all in one spot,” he said. “This is a nice, low stress jail. It’s nice and airy. They had access to a patio, outside. If you have to go to jail, go to Durango.” However one of the defendants, Robert Kafka, 41, said near the end of the hearing that the protesters had filed nine grievances against Durango, alleging improper medical care. “It’s an abomination that this jail accepted handicapped people when they were not able to take care of them,” Kafka said. Earlier in the day, Rossano said that the handicapped inmates had received double mattresses and that those with bedsores had been given sheepskin covers. Kafka said no sheepskin covers were handed out. When the hearing bean, Lester ordered it closed to everyone but court personnel, attorneys and defendants because of the small size of the room. After reporters covering the hearing protested and Lester consulted with M. Louis Levin, the presiding judge of Phoenix Municipal Court, he allowed the press to attend the hearing but barred supporters of the defendants. Ken Skiff, a court-appointed attorney for the defendants, said, ‘I had them all read the police reports and they agreed that they were accurate , and I felt that the sentence would be appropriate because there would be no fine and no probation.” Tom Timmer, a deputy city attorney who prosecuted the case, said he agreed to the plea agreements because “this is the best resolution for all concerned.” Police on Sunday night arrested 29 people in wheelchairs who were blocking entrances to Rustler’s Rooste restaurant at the Pointe at South Mountain. Conventioneers were attending a steak fry at the restaurant. On Monday, five protesters were arrested outside the downtown Hyatt Regency hotel for continually blowing their wheelchairs’ horns. On Tuesday, 39 more arrests were made of protesters who blocked buses at the downtown terminal, at First and Washington streets, and at several other sites, including bus stops at the Capitol and Central Avenue and Van Buren Street.
