Yes, the Flex Shuttle service meets all of the Program Implementation Guidelines for the 2013-14 year. 3. If proposing service changes from the current year, FY 12-13, please describe what changes are proposed and why. Please describe how these changes will impact the ability of seniors and people with disabilities in your community to meet their basic life needs. (max. 700 characters) The service change we are proposing for FY 2013-2014 is the expansion of our fixed route shuttle service by two additional hours each week day, with scheduled operating hours of 9:00am – 6:00pm. The current operating hours are 9:00am – 4:00pm, which is one hour after the San Leandro Senior Community Center closes. On March 4, 2013 the Senior Community Center will remain open until 5:00pm, and we would like to use this opportunity to expand our shuttle service and give our riders more time to fulfill their basic life needs such as grocery shopping, banking or picking up prescriptions from pharmacies during the early evening hours. There were three significant route changes suggestions that were made in 2011, and implemented in 2012. We have not had any significant route change requests since then.
