SFMTA works closely with the Paratransit Coordinating Council (PCC) in planning and monitoring door-to-door van and taxi services provided by SF Paratransit. The PCC is a 38-member committee comprised of van and taxi consumers, representatives of agencies serving older adults and individuals with disabilities, transportation providers and government entity representatives. To receive meeting notices, please contact Jonathan Cheng at jonathan.cheng@sfmta.com.
