my name is richard rothman and i'm a retired city worker. i just retired from the pedestrian safety advisory committee after being on it about six years and the last three years representing seniors and disabilities. and i just thought it was time for new blood in my seat. but i am coming here today to talk about the proposed mta's disability parking. i have been interested in this for a long time, and while there is a problem and i think mta needs to enforce the rules, you know? if people are getting disability placards illegally or using them illegally, i have no problem with cracking down on them and enforcing it fair. although i had a friend who has a disability placard and i didn't think mta traffic enforcement treated her fairly, but that is another issue. in studying this issue, i think in this report missed a couple of items. one is the issue starts with the doctor, because the doctor is the one who issues the certificates. and this report did not cover anything about working with the doctors, or maybe having the state have a peer re
