City -based Door -to -Door Service Guidelines <br />Other <br />Door -to -Door programs must demonstrate that they are providing trips <br />at an equal or lower cost than the ADA -mandated provider on a cost <br />per trip basis. Cost per trip is defined as total cost (all sources) during <br />a reporting period divided by the number of one-way trips, including <br />attendant and companion trips, provided during period. <br />Programs may impose per person trip limits to due to budgetary <br />constraints, but any proposed trip limitations that are based on trip <br />purpose must be submitted to Alameda CTC staff for review prior to <br />implementation. <br />Taxi Subsidy Program Guidelines <br />Service Description <br />Taxis provide curb -to -curb service that can be scheduled on a same-day <br />basis. They charge riders on a distance/time basis using a meter. Taxi <br />subsidy programs allow eligible consumers to use taxis at a reduced <br />fare by reimbursing consumers a percentage of the fare or by providing <br />some fare medium, e.g. scrip or vouchers, which can be used to cover a <br />portion of the fare. These programs are intended for situations when <br />consumers cannot make their trip on a pre -scheduled basis. <br />The availability of accessible taxi cabs varies by geographical area and <br />taxi provider, but programs should expand availability of accessible taxi <br />cabs where possible in order to fulfill requests for same-day accessible <br />trips. <br />Eligible Population <br />Eligible Populations include: <br />1. People 18 and above with disabilities who are unable to use fixed <br />route services. Cities may, at their discretion, also provide <br />services to consumers with disabilities under the age of 18, and <br />2. Seniors 80 years or older without proof of a disability. Cities may <br />provide services to consumers who are younger than age 80, but <br />not younger than 70 years old. <br />Cities may continue to offer "grandfathered" eligibility to program <br />registrants below 70 years old who were enrolled in the program in FY <br />11/12 and have continued to use it regularly, as long as it does not <br />impinge on the City's ability to meet the minimum requirements of the <br />Implementation Guidelines. <br />Program sponsors may use either ADA eligibility, as established by <br />ADA -mandated providers (incl.
