Mark Teague, Executive Director of JETCV, submitted the following announcement of an upcoming meeting:
How can we be so highly ranked for affordability and safety, yet rank so poorly in Usefulness & Accessibility?
Come to the meeting: A Broken System Failing Our Disability Community
RALEIGH, IS THIS HOW WE TREAT OUR SENIORS AND PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES?
MR. SEAN ABRAMS, OUR COMMUNITY HAS WAITED LONG ENOUGH!
GoRaleigh Access riders report a transportation system plagued by communication failures.
30–60 minutes to reach dispatch — IF you get through!
The callback feature introduced July 14 reportedly DOES NOT WORK!
No reliable way to locate vehicles or know when transportation will arrive!
Nearly 10 YEARS OF PROMISES for better communication technology!
The City of Raleigh contracts with RATP Dev to provide these services, yet our community continues reporting serious failures.
ENOUGH OF “IT’S ON ITS WAY!” WE DEMAND ANSWERS!
COMMUNITY MEETING — EVERYONE IS INVITED!
Tuesday, October 13, 2026
6:00–8:00 PM
Pullen Park Community Center, Raleigh
I have personally invited current Raleigh City Council members, City Council candidates, transportation officials, and community representatives to attend.
Mr. Sean Abrams is expected to be there. I also hope his supervisors and senior City leadership will attend.
PLEASE COME AND HEAR DIRECTLY FROM OUR SENIORS AND PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES ABOUT HOW THEY HAVE BEEN TREATED BY THE CITY OF RALEIGH’S TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM.
Hear their experiences. Listen to the questions. Hear how City leadership responds.
I ASK YOU ONE SIMPLE QUESTION:
IS THIS HOW YOU WOULD WANT YOUR MOTHER, FATHER, GRANDPARENT, OR SOMEONE YOU LOVE WITH A DISABILITY TO BE TREATED?
Our community deserves dignity, compassion, reliable transportation, and accountability.
WE ARE NOT INVISIBLE! WE DESERVE ANSWERS NOW!
NOTHING ABOUT US WITHOUT US!
If you appreciate the kind of reporting we bring to you
