NFTA-Metro
Paratransit Study
NFTA-Metro Is undertaking a study to comprehensively evaluate its Paratransit Access Line (PAL) service.
The study will identify opportunities to
improve quality, increase efficiency,
and enhance the customer experience.

costs and feasibility of potential service
area expansion.
To inform this effort, NFTA-Metro is
seeking input from those who use PAL
service and others on paratransit
needs, issues, and opportunities within
Erie and Niagara counties.
