In 2006, at age 65, I lost my driver’s license:

miracle life recovering from murderous assault.

42 stab wounds – one in right eye - took me down:

could not drive/bus but needed to get around town.

Was fortunate to learn urban had free transportation:

government provides cities grants to provide help.

The best is ADA, ACCESS, awesome for disabled:

city to city, state to state, very low cost for enabled.

Decades ago, I helped a senior research bus service:

augmented awareness for seniors/low-income needs.

I was shocked to see empty buses providing good routes:

yet lacked inclement weather canopied sitting attributes.

I thought then FREE transportation would be great:

would relieve so much congestion streets/highways.

Plus, empathy for all indigent, low poverty income:

pennies needed basics: food/rent, trying to overcome.

I live near popular exercise walking promenade park:

amazed neighbors choose to drive the ¼ mile to walk!

Since long Covid interval now followed by large gas increase,

bikes/mopeds/scooters popular - cities too offering lend-lease.

I am now an Octogenarian and have multi peers:

they experience severe stress over losing license.

ACCESS should be available to all seniors in need:

empathy/wisdom/consideration should be USA creed.

Although I truly endorse and believe in power of one:

multi voices garner authority groups to pay attention.

One letter has exponential power with `copy/paste’:

seniors, please share/email/help eliminate toxic waste*
