Para Transpo consultations on eligibility and booking
You are here
I was pleased recently to be asked to serve on a sub-committee looking at how Para Transpo handles eligibility for its service, and its booking processes. We've got a pretty robust public consultation planned - hope to see you to one of the consultation sessions.
