Many people can no longer access MUNI or Paratransit because masks are optional. And many cab drivers who contract w/Paratransit flat-out refuse to wear masks for their disabled passengers, even upon request.

@sfmta.bsky.social how do these exclusionary, harmful policies represent "Access for All"?

SFMTA Access for All Program pop-up | Wednesday, October 8, 2025 | 1:00 - 3:00 PT | ASL (on-call interpreter) | Captions | In-Person | Masks Optional | Outside | Pop-up

Pop-ups are completely optional activities during open hours, with no advanced registration required. So, you can come by to work, snack, or join the pop-up if it interests you. If you require ASL to participate, we’d love a heads-up (email access@disabilityculturalcenter.org) to try and arrange for an interpreter, but if not we’ll have an on-call interpreter standing by. Captioning is available, just let us know when you arrive, and we’ll make it happen.

DCC logo at the top. The slide reads The San Francisco Disability Cultural Center is a proud project of L.C. and Lillie Cox Haven of Hope in partnership with San Francisco Health and Human Services Agency: Department of Aging and Disability Services. Colorful snail graphic below.
