•
5. Describe your actions in the area of contributions and program
income: (use additional pages if necessary) Users are encouraged to
contribute by purchasing tickets at 10 each. These tickets are
necessary to use the regular Dial-A-Ride service and are available
at 13 locations in the City. The subsidy paid to the provider
(70c on Dial-A-Ride and $3 . 00 for each Cab-u-lance ride) plus the
user contribution ($1. 50/$2 . 00 for Dial-A-Ride and $5 . 00 for
handicapped) affords the users approximately half-price rides .
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 70 for regular rides and $3 . 00 per cabulance ride. Rates
will be remaining the same in 1988 as in 1987 . Riders contribute a
10 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
van ride one way is $5 . 00 . This is approximately one-third the price
of a regular ride using that same vehicle.
How we will provide the rides:
a) Contracting with a company to provide regular cab rides.
b) Contracting with a company to provide subsidized specialized handi-
capped transportation via lift equipped van to those age 60+.
c) Surveying users, by doing this, we hope to find out what they like
and don' t like about the service so imporvements can be made. We
will conduct a telephone survey during the winter of 1987-1988 .
d) Letting users understand how to let the program and provider know
about difficulties they are having with the service so again, im-
provements can be made.
e) Using mass media to inform more older people of the service.
f) 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.
g) Meet with other transportation service providers in order to under-
stand 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.

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Dial-A-Ride service is available to all people age 60 and over in the
Oshkosh area. 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 13 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 pur-
chased 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 70 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 transportation to people age 60 and over in the
city is the specialized handicapped service. This is for older handi-
capped people who cannot use the conventional cab. No tickets are
used. The user reimburses the actual provider $5. 00 for each one way
ride. The subsidy given the Cab company is $3 . 00 per ride. The
same ride normally costs $15. 00 per one way ride. The Dial-A-Ride
service has been expanded to include the handicapped service so that
handicapped people are not forgotten when providing services, and who
cannot affort the special service at the normal rate. The rate will
be for any person age 60+ and will be good for anywhere within the
city limits.
