[nabs] Blind Services in New Jersey

[Shelley Richards]

Hello,
I am from New Jersey, and the services are ok.  The New Jersey commission for the blind can be a little frustrating because they take forever to get things done.  They do offer a lot of services though.  The transportation in NJ is not to bad either and there is paratransit service.  The paratransit is annoying because you need to give them a 20 minute window either way, but God forbid if you are even a minute late.  I personally almost never use paratransit though, and those that do seem satisfied enough with it.  I just like to use NJ transit's regular train and bus service.  NJ transit also has a reduced fair program.  If you work with a dog NJ is a great place to be.  Nearly everybody in NJ knows what a seeing-eye dog is, and yes to most people in NJ they are all seeing-eye dogs lol.  I don't know what else you would like to know about, but feel free to ask me any other questions.  I am currently living in NY city for Law school, but I still use NJ services because I am only in NY for school, and I spent my entire life until this august living in NJ.  My email if you have questions is shelleyrichards9 at gmail.com<mailto:shelleyrichards9 at gmail.com>
