The City of Yakima WSTIP Transit Insurance has a $0 deductible on its WSTIP insurance, so the amounts paid on the Transit Closed Claims report were paid by
WT/P, not the City.
Yakima Paratransit claims (with "PT" in claim number) after January 1, 2012, involve the current contractor for ADA paratransit service, Medstar Cabulance, Inc.
Prior to January 1, 2012, the contractor for paratransit service was A-1 Tri-City Taxi, Inc.
