The preliminary estimate for tomorrow's service is 13,200 trips. Normal Thursday service usually supports about 18,500 reservations. The Access-A-Ride Reservation Center was able to address virtually all of the calls received today. About 1,400 taxi authorizations were issued and vouchers were given out for 750 car service rides.

As part of our strike contingency plan, we will continue to assign subscription trips, especially medically essential trips (i.e. dialysis treatment, chemo therapy, etc.) to other non-striking carriers. In addition, NYC Transit plans to continue utilizing supplemental service provided by private ambulette carriers, and the use of taxi vouchers. - Metropolotan Transportation Authority
