Page 4 of 21 <br />Alameda CTC Paratransit Program Plan Application <br />Application Period July 1, 2014 through June 30, 2015 <br /> <br /> <br />1B. Please list recurring primary destinations for seniors and people with disabilities in <br />your community that your services are designed to serve or to which passengers <br />frequently need to travel, e.g. dialysis centers, hospitals, major shopping complexes, <br />senior centers. <br /> <br />The regular shuttle stops for the Flex Shuttle’s north route include the following destinations: <br />Broadmoor Plaza, Main Library, Downtown Plaza, San Leandro BART station, Estabrook Place, <br />Marina Square, Marina Faire, Walmart, the San Leandro Senior Community Center and San <br />Leandro Hospital. The regular shuttle stops for the Flex Shuttle’s south route include the following <br />destinations: Eden Lodge, Bayfair Center, Bethel Presbyterian Church, Marina Faire, Marina <br />Community Center, Mission Bay, Fargo Senior Center, Greenhouse (Safeway), Wal-Mart, San <br />Leandro Senior Community Center and the San Leandro Hospital. <br /> <br />Effective as early as April 1, 2014 we will be adding the new San Leandro Kaiser Hospital to both <br />the North and South routes. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />2. Will your planned program for FY 14-15 meet the Paratransit Program Implementation <br />Guidelines? (Programs are required to meet the Implementing Guidelines. See Appendix A <br />for the Guidelines.) <br />If your program plans to apply for Implementation Guidelines Assistance funding for FY 14- <br />15, please complete the application on page 12. <br /> <br />Yes, the Flex Shuttle service meets all of the Program Implementation Guidelines for the 2014-15 <br />year. <br /> <br /> <br />3. If proposing service changes from the current year, FY 13-14, please describe what <br />changes are proposed and why. Please describe how these changes will impact the ability <br />of seniors and people with disabilities in your community to meet their basic life needs. <br /> <br />The biggest service change from our paratransit program is the discontinuation of the Medical <br />Shuttle (previously funded by the Minimum Service Level Grant and Program Implementation <br />Guidelines) as of June 30, 2014. We will now be relying on the central county taxi voucher program <br />to take individuals to destinations that require door-to-door transportation. <br /> <br />The other service change we are implementing is the addition of a new shuttle stop. Effective as <br />early as April 1, 2014 we will be adding the new San Leandro Kaiser Hospital to both the North and <br />South routes. We have had numerous requests to incorporate this stop into our program schedule, <br />and feel that it is a necessary addition in order to best serve the community. This addition should <br />add 2 – 3 minutes to each route.
