Jeanne Bussard workshop tragedy highlights transit neglect
The Frederick News trout page story notes two bureaucracies failed disabled workers at the Jeanne Bussard Training Workshop. No bus access for crutch users forced three football field treks along New Design Road with only twice daily city bus rerouting. Workshop runs own pickup service, cutting pay hours. Officials urged public pressure, while executives blamed city hall and architects. The piece calls for aldermen to fund temporary service and for Bussard leaders to publish corrective plans, urging a city reorientation to protect vulnerable citizens.
