Plan is consistent with <br />feedback received through workshops <br />and survey indicating primary use of <br />service is for medical trips, and shoping <br />and banking served by the Shuttle. <br />Keep Fixed Route <br />Shuttle 8 hrs/day, <br />5 days/wk, free. <br />Eliminate CTC (in -town <br />reservation service). Currently <br />provide 4200 rides/year on CTC. <br />Will impact riders that are less <br />ambulatory because they use CTC <br />service. Some riders will not be <br />able to take the Shuttle. Some of <br />these riders would be eligible for <br />EBP. <br />Provide out -of - <br />town medical <br />trips with MSL <br />Grant, increase <br />fee from $2/10 <br />miles to $4/10 <br />miles. Provide <br />1600 OTMT <br />rides/year. <br />Any savings achieved <br />through elimination of CTC <br />service would be used to <br />purchase taxi vouchers. <br />Replaces some of the rides <br />lost with elimination of CTC <br />services. Full taxi reimb.= <br />approx. 550 rides. <br />Option 1 Funding Request <br />Streets & Road Funds (One Time Funding): <br />$35,000 No reduction in Shuttle hours.
