We hear and witness the failed opportunities to make it easy for seniors and residents in need of accessibility support, namely with access link. People are left stranded or in between points if they do not exit the building in 2 minutes. Perhaps workers need some leeway at pick up times to better support those they are hired to service. The work is necessary and it is only helpful insofar as it works.

Senior Citizens and Disabled Residents Need Your Help Now!

I am mobility-challenged and grew up in NJ, now living in NYC. NJ Transit is how I can get from NYC to NJ. This proposed bad change affects my ability to visit my home town.

• SCDRTAC has been advocating for seniors and people with disabilities since 1984 without restriction on its discussions.
• The laws creating both NJ Transit itself and SCDRTAC give the committee a broad purpose, including not merely a single grant program, but any and all items affecting our constituents’ mobility.
• SCDRTAC is an advisory committee only, so our discussions cannot harm NJ Transit or any entity.
• This attack on SCDRTAC harms New Jersey’s most vulnerable residents: senior citizens and persons with disabilities, the latter a protected class under the ADA.

SCDRTAC was founded to help senior citizens and disabled residents get better mobility here in New Jersey. We want to keep doing that, but we need you to help! Don't make these bad changes!

We, the undersigned, call on Commissioner Diane Gutierrez-Scaccetti, CEO Kevin Corbett, Senior Vice President Justin Davis, and the NJ Transit board of directors to prevent the removal free-speech rights to the SCDRTAC by removing the 2nd, 4th, and 6th sentences from the proposed new SCDRTAC regulation, or by modifying the 2nd sentence to replace the word “is” with “includes” or a synonym that does not include a limitation and removing the 4th and 6th sentences, and to then proceed with the rule-making process, including a 60-day comment period.

We recognize the need for a committee within NJ Transit to which senior citizens and disabled residents may bring their concerns regarding public transportation in New Jersey. As SCDRTAC has been that committee since its inception in 1984, we believe that it should continue in that role and ask that you do all you can to restore that capacity with full legal protection.

The 3 sentences to be removed or changed are the following:
2nd sentence: “The mission of the committee is to provide advice and comment on topics related to the Program.”
Recommendation: change "Is" to "Includes".

4th sentence: “The mission of the committee is solely to provide advice and comment on the Program.”
Recommendation: Remove sentence.

6th sentence: “The committee shall not establish by-laws that exceed its mandate under these rules and the Act.”
Recommendation: Remove sentence,

We, the undersigned, call on Commissioner Diane Gutierrez-Scaccetti, CEO Kevin Corbett, Senior Vice President Justin Davis, and the NJ Transit board of directors to prevent the removal free-speech rights to the SCDRTAC by removing the 2nd, 4th, and 6th sentences from the proposed new SCDRTAC regulation, or by modifying the 2nd sentence to replace the word “is” with “includes” or a synonym that does not include a limitation and removing the 4th and 6th sentences, and to then proceed with the rule-making process, including a 60-day comment period.

Please keep me posted about this issue!

Accessibility is an essential requirement for any public transit system and SCDRTAC, as the public committee entrusted with accessibility issues, needs to be able to be able to freely raise and discuss any issues with staff that its members believe are consistent with its mission and the constituency it’s intended to serve.

We hope that they will find a solution that ensures that a legally-protected advisory committee for our most vulnerable residents will continue, while also having a committee dedicated to overseeing the SCDRTAP grants.
