Anyone have tips for transportation? (self.Blind)
submitted by pntsrgd
I'm legally blind and I have just taken a new job that may eventually require me to go to the office late at night. I live in the Denver, CO area - public transit isn't bad here, but getting to an office at 1:00 AM isn't very easy by public transit.
There's always the option of Uber or Lyft, but it looks like using them would knock out a huge chunk of my income since I could feasibly be required to go to the office several times per week.
Any ideas on how to proceed?

Congratulations on your new job!
If you use uber or lyft, you could use uber pool or lyft line. It cuts the cost of your service by quite a lot. This is my number one transport option when I'm not taking the bus or train.
You guys have [paratransit,]
(http://www.rtd-denver.com/accessARide_UsersGuide.shtml) but the rules of paratransit (1-3 day reservations, potentially large reservation windows and waiting times) plus the cost ($4.70 each way) might make this unsuitable for your work needs.
Eligible paratransit riders in your are can also use the "access a cab" service, which allows same-day reservation with cab companies. You pay the first $2, RTD pays the next $12, and you're responsible for any amount thereafter.
If relocating closer to work is an option, long term that may work out to be the best thing.

You're probably better submitting this as a separate post

do you have any coworkers that live near you that may be working at the same time?
