We are hopeful that the grant will be approved and anxious to <br />implement the pilot project which will expand transportation options and provide same day <br />service to San Leandro paratranist riders. <br />The following program changes were completed in FY 2007-08: <br />• We received new 2008 vehicles for the service offering a much more comfortable <br />ride. The vehicles also comply with air quality standards which became effective <br />January 2008. <br />• Installed permanent signs for all shuttle stops. <br />• We found that some of our riders have difficulty making a telephone reservation due <br />to hearing loss. In response, we offered information and a workshop featuring the <br />California Telephone Access Program which provides specialized telephones and <br />assistive devices for the hearing impaired. <br />List separate vehicles that are lift/ramp equipped and those that are not. Specify "Lift", <br />"Ramp", or "None" in the "Capacity" column. <br />Type of <br /> <br />Vehicle,, L>tft/JEZa>rrrp <br />Equipment Capacity ~ambulaYory <br /> <br />and WheelchaicJ Number of <br /> <br />Vehicles ~~ <br />contractor <br />rovided <br />2008 Lift 22 ambulatory 1 Contractor <br />Chevrolet passengers/up to 7 provided <br />HD Senator wheelchairs <br />Cutaway <br />Bus <br />2008 Ford Lift 8 ambulatory/2 2 Contractor <br />Sentinel wheelchair rovided <br />G:\Oliver\Paratransit\FY 2008-09\MB Annual Program Application Cover FY0809.doc <br />Page 4 of 18 <br />
