Building on a September 23, 2021 paratransit presentation to the EPAC, San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) paratransit program staff will provide a short presentation on the types of services offered by SFMTA’s paratransit program and will answer questions the EPAC may have about the program.

Staff will also seek input from the EPAC on other programs in the draft Expenditure Plan which members are interested in potentially increasing funding for to help inform upcoming agendas.
