At Advocations, we leverage the same loyalty and commitment described in this article, but not at the cost of sub-minimum wage. Partner with us to help workers with disabilities EARN A LIVING WAGE...
Just because it's "legal" doesn't make it right. "Tens of thousands of disabled people in the United States are paid less than the federal minimum wage — with some workers making as little as 25 cents per hour."

"Hello STS CATS, it's me. I have been trying repeatedly to book a ride. I must have tried 1000 times. As per the rules, I typically wait 30 minutes outside once my ride is booked. However, we all know that technology can sometimes fail. Many people with various types of disabilities and mobility challenges rely on this service to execute their daily routines. This is not a luxury, as it has social implications. These individuals' responsibilities don't stop because the transportation services have a hiccup. It is already hard enough for them when most things in their lives run relatively smoothly, such as their bodies, mobility devices, or other assistive technology. In this case, the hidden cost of disability is not so hidden. The main Reservation phone lines have more value than you know. "-- One of Advocations workers feedback for Charlotte Area Transit System
I get upset when I have to wait more than 10 minutes for an Uber.. It's now been 4 weeks and Advocations clients and other people with disabilities haven't been able to schedule #specialtransport rides to get where they need to go. #accessibilitymatters#cats If you know someone struggling to schedule a ride, call the temporary number: 1-833-656-7699 (image description: yellow background with black words ALERT: CATS Phone Service Disruption)
