Hi.

0:52:37

How are you?

0:52:38

I have a question for commissioner Curry regarding accessoride because one of the major barriers to accessing health care for people with disabilities, as we all know, is transportation.

0:52:55

And Accessoride, I've seen improvements with it since I've been involved in government.

0:53:02

It has gotten better over the last fifteen years and we hear that anecdotally but we also continue to hear frustrations from our constituents about accessoride, missed appointments, lateness.

What is your evaluation of Accessorize as the commissioner of the mayor's office for people with disabilities?

0:53:29

What are you hearing from your constituency and what efforts are you aware of that are underway to make it better?
