September 7, 2006Sen. Baddour sponsors new RTA law
Sen. Baddour was the primary sponsor of a new law which adds a representative from the disabled community to the Regional Transit Authority boards. One representative from the disabled community will serve on one RTA board in the Commonwealth, rotating each year throughout the state. "This legislation is a first step in recognizing the previously unmet needs of the disabled community," said Sen. Steven Baddour, D-Methuen. "Adding a representative of the disabled community to the RTA Advisory Boards was absolutely necessary."
