Title: Please make the shuttles handicap accessable
Post by: BlackjackGabbiani on July 15, 2015, 01:14:51 pm
There's no excuse for them not to be. Don't you see how many physically disabled people attend the con?

Shuttles?

Do you mean a car service, or something else?

Like the vans hotels use to take people to the airport.  I think they had some shuttle service previous cons.

Yrah. They had NO accessibility, and since they were tall busses with steps going up, if you were in a wheelchair or otherwiae were incapable of taking large steps, you were out of luck. If someobe HAD to rely on a shuttle that coulsnt provide even a ramp, that'd mean they literally couldnt attend.

Even getting a normal bus, or a school bus with a lift in the back, would be a lot easier!

Yeah that makes sense.  Esp since people with mobility issues is who the shuttles are trying to help I would think.
Have you tried contacting

Ooh I didn't know that was even a thing. Man, they need to put that out there more! I know I said it at the Rant and Rave but I didn't know there was a set person for it.
