Finally, a dedicated transport for commuting the people with disabilities in and around Petaling Jaya City is realised. MBPJ will be the first local authority in Malaysia to provide a free door to door service for the people with disabilities. The 4-seated or 2 wheel-chair capacity van named Transit OKU is expected to go on the road by 3rd June 2008. The service is to compliment the free community bus service provided by the Council. This initiative is in parallel with the vision of MBPJ in making PJ a Barrier Free City and a Caring Society. Making an inclusive society by reducing social, economy and physical barrier to enable accessibility and connectivity has long been an ultimate goal of the Local Agenda 21 PJ. This small gesture is hopefully spurred other local authorities to initiate similar service in other part of Malaysia. MBPJ is appealing to the corporate sector to come forward be partner in this initiative.
