Allow Strollers on Public Transit

We the undersigned ask that Niagara Falls Transit reviews and changes their rule to not allow strollers on the bus.

This rule has caused safety and convenience concerns to people wanting to travel with toddlers or younger not able to sit in a chair without safety straps. It is almost impossible for a single parent/guardian to handle a toddler or younger, baggage such as groceries/laundry/other children, as well as be able to open and close a stroller while boarding a city bus. These tasks require two hands each and trying to handle children while closing a stroller can cause more harm than good. Children who cannot stand or sit on their own should be strapped into their strollers while a city bus is in motion - not the other way around.
It is stated on the Niagara Transit website that their mission statement is To provide a safe, affordable, courteous and reliable transit service which responds to the needs of the community.
The needs of parents/guardians of toddlers or younger is to have a public transit service that is safe for our children and that is non-discriminatory against people who are unable to sit/stand on their own.

Show us that the safety of Niagaras youngest is important to Niagara Transit.
