WHITBY FREE PRESS, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 11, 1981, PAGE 7 Improve Handi- Transit service CONT'D FROM PG. 3 (e.g. gets married) and wants the federal government to give these people additional tax relief or subsidies. The transportation committee wants the Handi transit (of Oshawa/Whitby), Han- di-Trans (of Ajax/Pickering) and Wheel Trans (of Toron- to) co-ordinate their services and meet at each others boundaries so that handicapped persons can travel to and from Metropolitan Toronto. This committee also wants to see Handi- Transit continue evening and Saturday service as well as see the town provide it with a parking stall at the four corners that is clearly identified for its sole use. The commit- tee also wants to see the service established on Sundays on, at least, a trial basis. Like all of the com- mittees, this one also makes recommen- dations concerning things that are the juris- diction of either the pro- vincial or the federal government. This committee wants the railways and other public carriers to be more understanding and helpful to the dis- abled. What has been related here is only an outline of the task force's 114 recommendatios which will now have to be presented to Whitby Town Council for con- sideration. East Ward Councillor Joe Drumm, chairman of the task force, is ex- pected to present them to council on December 7. However, it is expec- ted that the politicians will send the recom- mendations to staff for further study. . Broklin SBylines By Roxanne Reveler ~r.
