DISABILITY TRANSPORTATION BILLS UPDATE: PARATRANSIT STOP ANNOUNCEMENT LAW TAKES EFFECT ON SEPT 1ST

The new paratransit stop announcement law, which requires paratransit vehicle operators to announce every scheduled stop along their route, takes effect on September 1, 2026. ACI worked to ensure passage of A232.

Operators will now verbally announce each Access Link stop on the schedule as it is reached. These announcements will be strictly limited to the information required by law and will include the building number, street name, or if applicable, the business location name.
