ADAPT (176)
ROCKY MOUNTAIN NEWS 10-17-83 PHOTO, STAFF PHOTO BY STEVE GROER: A short white man (Mark Ball) with a big afro and tinted, round glasses stands almost hidden, behind a podium with a large RTD on the front. Behind him are rows of other people, (all men), some in suits and ties, some with long hair. Caption reads: Mark Hall [sic] of Atlantis Community addresses RTD board at public hearing on agency's budget. [Headline] Handicapped complain to RTD More than 1,000 handicapped Denver bus riders cannot visit the Boulder Mall and other distant destinations by public transportation because the buses used by the Regional Transportation District on those routes cannot accommodate their wheelchairs, representatives for the handicapped told RTD on Tuesday. "It's a very touchy subject with disabled persons who feel trapped within the metropolitan area," Mark Ball told RTD directors during a public budget hearing. The hearing was the public's chance to discuss the agency's budget before it is adopted by the directors. Only a handful of people attended the 30-minute hearing. 'You’re going to have to come up with an over-the-road bus with a (wheelchair) lift," he said. “Boulder isn't very far for you, but I wouldn't want to do it in an electric wheelchair. Half asked the board to require that all new vehicles be equipped with lifts and other features for handicapped riders. In the past year, RTD mechanics have worked to improve the design of wheelchair lifts fitted to some buses used on busy Denver routes, officials said. But RTD assistant general manager Mike Smith said "there is not a high-degree of interest" on the part of bus manufacturers to mass-produce an over-the-road vehicle with lifts, extra-wide aisles and low ground clearance suitable for handicapped riders. The sensitive subject of handicapped access to public transportation will be raised again next week when representatives of ADAPT, a handicapped-rights group, will address the national convention of the American Public Transit Association at the Denver Hilton.

Rocky Mountain News 10/16/84 Denver- Boulder rides offered to handicapped By JOSEPH B. VERRENGIA Rocky Mountain News Staff Writer The Regional Transportation District started offering special rides between Boulder and Denver for handicapped passengers Monday amid criticism from disabled activist that the new service is a form of illegal segregation. “We’re not looking for special, we’re looking for equal,” said Wade Blank, spokesman for the disabled protect group called Adapt. “Basically, we’re being segregated.” RTD contracted with Special Transit Systems Inc. of Boulder to provide the new service. It will operate on weekdays during rush hours between the Boulder Transit Center, 14th and Walnut streets, and down town Denver, outside the Market Street Station. Morning Trips leave Boulder at 6:30 a.m. and arrive in Denver at 7:15 a.m. The bus starts its return trip to Boulder at 8:30 a.m., arriving at 9:10 a.m. Afternoon trips leave Boulder at 4 p.m. and arrive in Denver at 4:40. The return trips leave Denver at 5:30 p.m., arriving in Boulder at 6:20. The rides require reservations at least three business days in advance. Special door-to-door service by STS is available the rest of the day. The fare is $1.75 each way, the same as a regular RTD express bus ride. RTD officials are offering the service as a compromise to handicapped riders who demand that wheelchair lifts be included on new over-the-road buses scheduled for purchase next month. Those buses would be used for express runs to Boulder, Evergreen and Conifer. Without the special service, RTD officials said, disabled people would have no public transit between Denver and Boulder. “Perhaps as an interim problem-solver, it (the special service) is done in good faith,” Blank said. “But I hope it wouldn’t be a permanent alternative. Most people don’t know their plans (for bus riding) three days in advance."
