You might need Paratransit one day

I hope the citizens of Everett will vote yes for the small sales tax increase to support Everett Transit.

I never thought I would need Paratransit. I thought I could drive forever. But after a few misfortunes this past year, plus poor eyes and now no car, things have changed.

Paratransit picks me up in front of my home and takes me places I otherwise would not be able to get to.

My family lives out of town, so that creates a problem even though they do help. Yet, with the help of two close lady friends and Paratransit, I don’t feel so isolated and alone.

There are others on my block and at a nearby group home who also use Paratransit. It is a great way to help us.

Please vote yes for Everett Transit. You may need their help some day.
