DRM provides information, advice, training, and limited legal assistance on matters related to eligibility and rider rights to individuals with disabilities who need access to Maryland Transit Administration (MTA) Mobility paratransit services because they cannot use the bus, light rail or subway system. We are also involved in a lawsuit challenging certification and other MTA practices, with the goal of obtaining improvements for riders.
