Describe your goals and action steps (Use back of page if needed) or additional pages Please see other side of this paper for description of our goals and action steps 5. Describe your actions in the area of contributions and program income: (use additional pages if necessary) People are encouraged to contribute by purchasing tickets at 10 G each. These tickets are necessary to use the service and are avail- able at 12 locations in the City. The subsidy paid the cab company (70 for each taxi ride and $3. 50 each Cab-u-lance ride) plus the user contribution ($1 . 50 or $2 . 00 , depending on origin or distination of ride) offord the user an approximate half priced ride. Goals Our goal is to continue to offer at affordable cost, quality door to door transportation to older adults of Oshkosh. The subsidy rate at this time is 70G for regular rides and $3 . 50 per cabulance ride. Rates will be remaining the same in 1987 as in 1985 & 86. Riders contribute a 1(21 ticket along with $1. 50 or $2 . 00, depending on where in the city the ride originates or where it ends . This is for a one way ride. The cabulance ride one way is $7. 50 . This is approximately half the price of a regular ride using that same vehicle. a) Contracting with a company to provide regular cab rides and also for the cabulance service for handicapped older adults . b) Surveying users , By doing this, we hope to find out what they like and don ' t like about the service so improvements can be made. We will conduct a telephone survey during 1987. c) Letting users understand how to let the program and provider know about difficulties they are having with the service so again, improvements can be made. d) Using mass media to inform more older people of the service. e) Target services to those persons whose needs are greater. These would be people who simply can not use the City Bus or any other public transportation. This also includes people who have no vehicle at their disposal to get around on their own. f) Meet with other transportation service providers in order to understand problems they are encountering methods by which they offer their service and to hopefully find ways that we can work together to provide a better quality transportation system for Winnebago County elderly. o part e' Pam rt A.

It is offered to people at approximately one-half the cost a person would incur if not using Dial-A-Ride. The service is valid anywhere within the City limits (residential) of Oshkosh. A person must present a Dial-A-Ride ticket (available at 12 locations throughout the city) to the cab driver plus either $1 . 50 or $2 .00 depending on where they ' re picked up or going. The tickets are purchased for 10 each. There is a limit of 14 tickets per month unless a person has an exceptional need. This will be determined through a personal interview on a case by case basis. The service is door to door and if requested, drivers will come to the door and help a person into the cab. The service is good 24 hours per day, seven days per week. In addition to the amount contributed by the user for the cab ride, a subsidy of 70G per ride is paid to the cab company. It is for this that funds are requested. A service included with this proposal and part of the package of offering specialized subsidized transportation to people age 60 and over in the city is the Cabulance service. This is for older handicapped people whc cannot use the conventional cab. No tickets are used. The user reimburses the Cab company $7. 50 for each one way ride. The subsidy given the Cab company is $3. 50 per ride. A cabulance ride normally costs $15 .00 per one way ride. The Dial-A-Ride service has expanded to include the cabulance service so that handicapped people are not forgotten when providing services , and who tannot afford the cabulance at the normal rate. The rate will be for any person age 60+ and will be good for anywhere within the city limits . r O O A O O O o ' .•' 0 O N N O L0 O LC t~ r-1 r-I . to Y C`7 'C u 0 J N ' u L cn O cn co oc vs N O O O O O O,--i d'y ,—I to 111 1ii_ r i C1 t O Jo m .V O H a, L i y E O) Cu N > N L s- o aN o.= .."%.,404. 1io am 1 4+••• ..•..
