The Arc of Tri-Cities is disappointed to announce we are cancelling upcoming events, that require transportation after 8:00 PM. We sincerely apologize for the last minute cancellation Further, our quarterly newsletter will be delayed up to two weeks in order to change our traditional services as necessary.
As you know, Ben Franklin Transit (BFT) and The Arc of Tri-Cities built a relationship spanning 26 years. As a result of this partnership, we are able to provide access to Arc services and community activities with the use of vans owned by BFT. Recently our contract changed to include a condition that The Arc of Tri-Cities cannot operate Dial A Ride Buses outside of BFT’s service hours (6:00 AM to 8:00 PM weekday’s and 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM on Saturday’s). As a result, The Arc of Tri-Cities is obligated to make appropriate changes needed to address this particular issue and to ensure the health and safety of everyone who wants to attend evening activities. The Arc of Tri-Cities will work hard to continue to offer programs and services accessible to all individuals, regardless of level of disability.
Your patience is appreciated while the Night Rec Program undergoes reorganization to accommodate the conditions of the new contract. You can look forward to seeing the Rec schedule in the very near future.
