Due to work commitments, DC ParaTransit Info staff took time away from the site. During that time, the bane of the Internet, spammers, managed to abuse the features of the site.

At the same time, it seems that several of the gains the MetroAccess ridership made at the beginning of the year after much struggling have been eroded with lack of attention.

To rectify the first problem, we have begun redesigning the site, removing the ability of spammers to deface the site. To help address the second, we are now making sure that the site will have sufficient coverage through adding additional authors to keep the ridership appraised of issues surrounding this vital service, as well as paratransit issues in general in the Metropolitan Washington DC area.

We apologize for our absence, and hope that the redoubled efforts of DC ParaTransit Info will help us all with obtaining the level of service that we need. As we shift sections of the site over to the new code, some things will be disabled, but we’ll bring them back up as quickly as possible, and hope you’ll bear with us as we improve our services.
