Describe your goals and action steps (Use back of page if needed) Please see other side of this paper for or add:cional pages description of our yoals and action steps. 5 . Oescribe your actions in [he area of con[ribu[ions and program income: (use additional pages if necessary) psers are encouraged to . contribute by purchasing tickets at lOC each. These tickets are necessary to use the regular Dial-A-Ride service and are available at 13 locations in the City. The suSsidy paid to the provider (70C on Dial-A-Ride and $3 .00 for eack: Cab-u-lance ride) plus the user contribution ($1. 50/$2 . 00 for Dial-a-Ride and $5 . 00 for handicapped) affords the users approsimately half-price rides. - 26b - Res. 7136 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 70C £or regular rides and $3 . 00 per cabulance ride. Rates will be remaining the same in 1988 as in 1987 . Riders contribute a lOC 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 dif£iculties 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 £ind ways that we can work together to provide a better quality tra�sportation system for Winnebago County elderly. - 26c - Res. °1l� �,� '^ O~ ,� � C� / 5 � 1� C Part A.

Res. #136 PROGRAtd 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 vali� 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 lOC 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 dooz 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 contri6uted � by the user for the cab ride, a subsidy of 70fi 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 foz 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. - 26e - 913� O N O p � N O W O lO H � � � r rl vt � � M O J d V L � o' °I .1 .J � M y >' N M L N w N N V � O 9 L d O 4 � LL E � � � � O CU O O O L C � O p 6 � rl < N °c a Y � O L rl � L m V y W f � P y � � L � �I1 O q �D �p V Ol p� W (?
