Page 24 <br /> Transportation <br />San Leandro residents told us… <br />They want affordable, reliable transportation that takes into <br />account mobility limitations as people age. That means kind <br />drivers who come to the door, covered bus stops, flexible routes for <br />errand and medical appointment destinations, and frequent <br />schedules that help seniors rely on and adopt new travel routines. <br />1 Expand accessible transportation options for <br />seniors and persons with disabilities <br />Project Lead: Human Services Department <br />Action Step #1. Complete an assessment to determine if <br />the Flex Rides paratransit program has adequate ridership <br />and funding to support expanding from a 3-day-per-week <br />schedule to a 5-day-per-week schedule. <br />Action Step #2. Work collaboratively with Uber to assess <br />and ensure they are offering enough accessible vehicles on <br />a daily basis to meet the needs of San Leandro residents <br />with disabilities. <br />Action Step #3. Convene listening sessions at the Senior <br />Community Center (or other locations) to solicit <br />information about frequent errand and medical <br />appointment destinations in exploration of an accessible <br />senior shuttle program. <br />Action Step #4. Explore the concept of subsidizing a <br />grocery delivery service like Instacart to provide critical <br />services to homebound seniors and people with <br />disabilities. <br />City of San Leandro | Age-Friendly Action Plan
