CitiLife available to fewer

Sunday, Jan. 23, 2000 | 8:50 a.m.

CitiLift riders will have to be recertified to use the service under a plan approved Friday by the Regional Transportation Commission.

"I hear a lot in the public that eligibility should be tightened," RTC Chairman John Mayer said. "This is a step in that direction."

Shifting the equivalent of one full-time CitiLift rider to the Reno area's regular Citifare bus system will save CitiLift $5,900 each year, RTC was told.

RTC wants to implement a new screening procedure that identifies if someone needs to ride CitiLift.

Some riders would need a statement from a health professional before they can ride CitiLift.

With the new tests, the number of refusals for CitiLift service is expected to jump from 16 percent to 24 percent.
