"Social Service Agency" was defined as a public or private, nonprofit organization that provides services to any of the following four target groups: seniors, handicapped persons, the young, and the low-income disadvantaged. The purpose of AB120 was to improve the transportation of social services recipients and to enable: " Cost savings through combined purchasing of equipment " Lowered insurance costs through driver training programs " More efficient use of vehicles through centralized dispatching " Reduced costs through centralized vehicle maintenance " More efficient use of funding resources for transportation services This report will update the report of December, 1997 and will indicate progress on action items highlighted in that previous report. 1 " " " RIVERSIDE COUNTY'S CONSOLIDATED TRANSPORTATION SERVICE AGENCIES (CTSAs) Riverside County has two Consolidated Transportation Service Agencies (CTSAs). Riverside Transit Agency is the CTSA in Westem Riverside County, and SunLine Transit Agency is the CTSA for the Coachella Valley. Although SunLine remains the designated CTSA in the Coachella Valley, it has turned over the day-to-day responsibilities to Community Partnerships of the Desert (CPD), which is discussed later in this document. These CTSA designations have not changed in recent years. The CTSA is responsible for providing service either directly or through contractual agreements with other providers and to coordinate services with existing fixed -route systems. Pursuant to AB120 (Chapter 1120, Statutes of 1979), "coordination of transportation services is a way to achieve greater operating and service efficiencies." The CTSAs are charged with this coordination effort. During the period reviewed for this report, both CTSA's coordinated with other agencies and have increased collaborative efforts. INVENTORY OF SOCIAL SERVICE TRANSPORTATION SERVICES Service inventory information was obtained from all known public, non-profit and social service agencies in the county. Some transportation programs are specific to certain types of clients, some are general public and some have restrictions on transportation services. Data presented in this document is as reported by survey participants. Not counting Riverside Transit Agency (RTA) and SunLine Transit (SunLine), most agencies reporting indicated approximately 37% of their riders are persons with disabilities, followed by 24% youth, 20% seniors, 9% low income riders and 10�% special riders, such as those taking specific types of medical - purpose trips. (RTA and SunLine have been shown separately since their data tends to skew the data for the other 32 social service transportation providers.) These riders account for approximately 800,000 trips. The majority of youth trips reported are for specific institutions such as the Braille Institute and other similar facilities. An additional 2 million trips were reported by RTA and SunLine for both fixed route and dial -a -ride services. Their reported trips for seniors, persons with disabilities and youth are approximately 10% of total reported system -wide trips. However, this is difficult to track and these agencies report this data only by farebox and pass sales. There may be more riders in these categories that are not reported. Most agencies reporting restrictions either only take ADA-eligible riders or those with specific medical conditions, such as AIDS, cancer, kidney ailments or other conditions requiring hospital trips. Approximately one-half of the respondents operate Monday -Friday 8:OOa.m.-5:OOp.m. However, the trip reimbursement and volunteer driver programs have more flexibility and are available 24 hours/day. Approximately one third of agencies responding provide the transportation at no cost to the rider. Another one third charge $1.00 or less per trips. Those with higher fares or 'donations' usually are for longer distance trips or multi -county trips. One half of the agencies operate mainly fixed -route services and the other half provide demand -responsive services of one type or another. Excluding RTA and SunLine, the majority of the trips are to school (24�%), work (20%), social service appointments (19%), and medical facilities (18%). These are not normally categorized as 'discretionary' types of trips, indicating the need for these social -service transportation services. Many of these trips are 'subscription services', such as to work or school on a daily basis, but any agency with FTA funding is restricted to no more than 501/0 subscription riders for demand responsive services. 2 " IAtlLt l St7G1AL 5 PER FISCAL YEAR " " AGENCY UNLINKED SENIORS UNLINKED FOR PERSON WTH DISABILITIES UNLINKED YOUTH UNLINKED FOR LOW INCOME RIDERS OTHER (i.e.Med) TOTAL American Cancer Society 250 250 Anqelview 4,380 4,380 2,380 Anza Valley Transit 1,872 508 Banning FR 20,146 4,394 54,819 79,359 Banning Diala-Ride 1,969 6,183 8,152 Beaumont 12,800 15,734 21,210 35,696 85,440 Boys/Girls Club Coachella V 480 480 Braille Institute 12,000 12,000 Care -A -Van 4,320 8,544 991 13,855 College of the Desert 300 300 Corona Dial -a -Ride 13,873 36,330 3,261 53,464 Desert Aids Protect 2,106 2,106 Desert Health Car 20,400 20,400 Desert Council on Aging 400 400 Family Services Assoc. 11,587 2318 1,320 15,225 Five Star Adult Day Care 3,500 3,500 Foundation for the Retarded 43,000 43,000 Friends of Moreno Valley 2,418 531 2,949 Indio Senior Center 1,900 1,900 Inland Aids Society 750 750 Inland Regional Center 5,004 5,004 IGdney Institute 360 360 Lighthouse for the Blind 19,875 19,875 Palm Springs Park/Rec 6,250 6,250 Partnership 30,039 30,039 Riv Co Office of Education 9,700 9,700 Regional Medical Center 5,100 5,100 Riverside Special Transit 56,792 85,336 102 142,230 TSI 18.307 71,874 486 1,046 91,713 UCR 50 000 50,000 Valley Resource Center 1,200 1,200 Veterans Express 2,500 2,500 Volunteer Center 8,274 8,175 34,815 34,815 86,079 TOTAL 157,768 294,419 193,027 72,548 82,588 800,340 Percent of Total Trips 0.20 0.37 0.24 0.09 0.10 1.00 Riverside Transit 465,306 450,989 1,002,198 1,918.493 SunUne Transit 60,760 84,791 124,860 9,384 279,795 Total 683,824 830,199 1.320,085 72,548 91,972 2,998,628 Percent of Total Trips 0.23 0.28 0A4 0.02 0.03 1.00 3 " TABLE 2 - TRIPS BY TRIP TYPE " " AGENCY SHOP MEDICAL SCHOOL WORK SOCIAL SS APPT REC.

In addition, Transportation Services, Inc. (fSl) provides driver training for participants in the Service Providers of Riverside County (SPARC). All responding agencies provide defensive driver training and passenger assistance training. Most training is provided in-house or by another agency in Riverside County., Approximately one-half of the respondents provide first -aid training. Aside from the public services provided by cities and by RTA and SunLine, 17 agencies reported having drivers. Of these, 73% are full-time drivers, 21% part-time and 6% volunteer. Almost no maintenance staff were reported by these agencies, who use outside contractors to provide maintenance and inspection services. Although not included in the analysis above, The Partnership to Preserve Independent Living for Seniors and Persons with Disabilities (The Partnership) has approximately 350 active clients who take an average of approximately 7 trips each per month; the volunteer drivers are reimbursed for their mileage. While some clients have only one driver, some have several. After reviewing several months of data, it appears that approximately one third of the clients have 2 or 3 drivers while the remainder have only one driver. This estimate would then indicate approximately 467 volunteer drivers. One of The Partnership's goals is to develop a database of volunteer driver information so that information should be available for the next reporting period. There are several types of transportation providers in Riverside County. Fixed -route services are available in most urban areas and cities, and connecting most urban areas and cities. Demand - responsive services are available within and between most of these areas. Trip reimbursement programs are provided in more remote areas, where no other transit service exists and sometimes for longer trips to other counties. And, some social service agencies provide tickets for use on public transit. Transportation services and service areas, by type of service, include: Agency Area Served Demand Responsive Anza Valley Transit Angelview Banning Dial -a -Ride Beaumont Dial -a -Ride Boys/Gins Club of Coachella Valley Braille Institute Care -a -Van Corona Dial -a -Ride Desert Health Car Foundation for the Retarded Friends of Moreno Valley Family Services of Westem Riverside Co.

Major funding 6 " " " For other than RTA and SunLine, approximately 78% of funding is federal, state and local public money, with Inland Regional Center providing an additional 2% of the funding from the Department of Developmental Services, the Riverside County Office on Aging providing 1%, and Riverside Regional Medical Center providing an additional 3% of funding, making public funding of these services 84% of total funding. Adding RTA and SunLine, public funding then accounts for 94% of transportation funding. There was no funding from the United Way, which funds services and programs for these specific categories of consumers, and which has indicated that transportation has become a higher priority. Most private and foundation funding is for very specific types of consumers. Budgets range from a low of approximately $7,000 to a high of $500,000 not including public operator's dial -a -ride services. Fixed route public operators' budgets range from approximately $10 million to $22 million. Increases in budgets over the last two years reflect slight increases in services, mainly due to ADA service implementation and publicly -funded Welfare -to -Work Programs. As shown on Table 4, most expenses are for operator wages, maintenance and contractor expense. Trip denials were only reported by 6 demand -responsive services, ranging from .7% to 7%. Most of those reporting receive FTA funds so they should be using the ADA criteria for trip denials. It is unclear if all agencies use that same criteria for reporting. REPORTING AND MONITORING OF SERVICES All agencies with Local Transportation Funds (LTF) or Measure A funds provide quarterly reports to the Riverside County Transportation Commission, and have annual financial audits performed. Recipients of LTF also have a triennial management and performance audit administered by the RCTC, and those receiving federal funds also have a triennial audit administered by the Federal Transit Administration (FTA). Reports are provided to these operators with suggestions for improvements, as appropriate. In addition, SunLine has a committee, ACCESS, which is advisory to the Board of Directors and is comprised of citizens, social service advocates, system users and business leaders. This group meets on a monthly basis to discuss issues and services, as appropriate. The RCTC has a Social Service Citizens Advisory Committee (SSCAC) which also meets monthly to discuss transportation issues, services and funding. The RTA Board of Directors has an ADA Committee, which meets on a monthly basis, to deal specifically with issues of service provision for ADA-certified riders. The Riverside County Office on Aging and the Partnership also forward reports to agencies on a monthly basis based on complaints received by callers to the Office on Aging's "HelpLink" information & referral service. The Service Providers Association of Riverside County (SPARC) also meets on a monthly basis to discuss transportation issues. This group is comprised of service providers and service consumers and advocates. Applications for Measure A funds are competitive in Westem Riverside County; the Coachella Valley Association of Governments and the RCTC provide Measure A funding directly to SunLine in the Coachella Valley. Although some federal and state funding is provided to public operators on a formula - basis, other applications for FTA funds are still competitive. Each year the recipients of LTF prepare a Short Range Transit Plan indicating the amount and uses of funding requested. Measure A grant funding recipients continue to provide quarterly performance reports to the RCTC. In addition, as a result of a recent study conducted by the RCTC, quarterly meetings are held with all Measure A service providers to improve coordination of services. 7 .

" SERVICE PRODUCTIVITY 9 " " " As was seen in a recent report comparing Measure A recipients in Western Riverside County, average trip length varies between 3.43 and 24.66 miles. For Measure A funded dial -a -ride providers, recent reports have shown that subsidy per passenger varies between $6.89 and $38.31, with an average subsidy of $15.12; subsidy/mile varies between $.19.00 and $2.80, with an average subsidy of $1.30; subsidy/hour varies between $4.31 and $46.66, with an average subsidy of $23.90. These variances, however, are mainly due to the difference in nature of the service, the service area, and the specific services provided. The least costly and lowest subsidized service is the Anza Valley Transit, which uses volunteer drivers. Unlinked trips for seniors, persons with disabilities, youth and low income individuals on an annual basis for all reporting agencies, reflects: Volunteer driver programs, with or without reimbursement 35,997 Ticket distribution programs 97,885 City transit services 368,645 CTSA dial-a-rides/fixed route services 2,198,904 Non-profit agency/private dial -a -rides 297.197 Total 2,998,628 In addition to these trips, approximately 11,000,000 trips are also taken on an average annual basis in fixed -route public transit services. While agencies currently track ridership for seniors, persons with disabilities and youth, it is difficult to track the number of low-income disadvantaged riders. Many agencies have reported substantial ridership increases since the last report. While average cost per trip is lowest for trip reimbursement programs, these types of programs are available usually only if no other transportation options are viable, such as in rural areas, or when an individual is physically unable to take any other type of transit. The type of funding received for these programs also has restrictions. In addition, many of the smaller programs do not even budget transportation or track expenses, since they are part of overall client services, such as provision of medical, nutritional or referral programs. SOCIAL SERVICE RECIPIENTS TO BE SERVED The elderly and persons with disabilities comprise the majority of individuals accessing the social service transportation services. Some institutions, including those which train the developmentally disabled, or work specifically with AIDS patients and seniors, sometimes require special transportation provisions. Some agencies deal specifically with clientele receiving a variety of services, such as medical care, nutrition programs and other social services. When categorizing the types of social service clients, it should be noted that this is not completely accurate since some categories overlap. For example, a rider with disabilities may also be a senior citizen and have a low income. It is at the discretion of the agency how the riders are categorized. FLEET INFORMATION Of the approximate 300 vehicles in social service transportation services (including public transit buses and dial -a -rides), approximately 14% are model year 1991 or older, which is well past the useful life for this type of equipment. Most of this equipment is usually vans capable of canying 9-14 passengers, with an average life -cycle of approximately 5 years. Another 10% are model year 1992/3, which are nearing the end of normal useful life; and 13% have been purchased since the last report. The remaining 63% of vehicles are model years 1994-97. See Table 5 for fleet listings. All public transit vehicles have wheelchair lifts or ramps. Approximately one third of these vehicles are CNG or electrically -powered, and most of those are operated by RTA and SunLine. However, with the 10 " " " development of additional CNG fueling facilities, other transportation agencies may pursue the purchase of CNG vehicles. The majority of capital funding has been for replacement of these vehicles. The majority of this funding comes from FTA Section 5307 or 5311, Measure A or LTF. Since many vehicles average 5,000 miles per month, vehicle replacement is an ongoing issue for many agencies.

Most of these vehicles are in very limited use, but serve those with no other means of transportation, those with physical constraints or low income individuals without other means of transportation. While it would be difficult to include them in the analysis of the more formal services, it should be noted that there are vehicles in this type of service. Services and the number of vehicles include, but are not limited to: Menifee Valley Community Cupboard California Rehabilitation Center Ability Counts Jurupa Parks & Recreation Boys/Girls Club of Temecula Hope, Incorporated Calvary Chapel Friends of Jefferson House Perris Valley Boxing Club California Family Life Center Navy League Eagles Christian Church Valley -Wide Rec/Park District Vine Life Christian Center Coachella ParldRec Department 1 van 1 van 2 vans 1 van 2 vans 1 van 1 vans 2 vans 1 van 1 van 1 van 1 van 1 van 1 van 1 bus PROGRESS IN IMPLEMENTING CONSOLIDATED TRANSPORTATION SERVICES All Action Items from the prior report have been implemented by the RCTC venue of the quarterly Measure A meetings. These Items include: 13 OR COORDINATED . Most occurred through the " " " 1. "The RCTC will disseminate to social service agencies information obtained from the CTSAs, Ca[trans and CalAct members regarding standard specifications and recent costs for several types of dial -a -ride vehicles. 2. The RCTC will request information from all agencies on type(s) of radio equipment used and any surplus or out -dated office, radio and operating equipment currently in inventory. 3. The RCTC will discuss with both CTSAs and social service agencies standard vehicle maintenance programs to determination if coordination or maintenance garages &/or staff could achieve cost savings. 4. The RCTC will request information from all agencies on year of vehicle replacements and disposal policies for retired vehicles. 5. The RCTC will work with the RTA in development of a map to indicate areas served by provider." The 1997 Action Plan stressed continuation of prior efforts to improve inter -city transportation throughout the county. Considerable progress has been made since the last report. RTA developed a link between Lake Elsinore and Temecula on the Route 24, extended the Route 19 from Moreno Valley to Sun City, increased service on Route 36 between Yucaipa, Calimesa and Beaumont to 6 days/week, and increased service on Route 35 between Banning and Moreno Valley to 6 days/week. SunLine will shortly be implementing commuter service between the Coachella Valley and the downtown Riverside Metrolink Station. On October 21, 1997, SunLine formed a non-profit corporation, Community Partnerships of the Desert, Inc. (CPD), which is currently funded by a grant from the Regional Access Project (RAP). This 501(c)(3) corporation was formed to seek additional funding sources for transportation from foundations and others who only give to private, not -for -profit corporations. CPD now handles the day-to-day CTSA functions for SunLine. In addition, SunLine has taken over the maintenance and operation of the Vet's Express, funded by the Veterans Administration. It also now operates and maintains Five -Star and Foundation of the Retarded vehicles and services. Dispatching for these services has been integrated into SunDial services, which are dispatched by SunLine staff. SunLine has also begun integration of the TRIP program into its services, calling it SunTRIP. Working closely with the Partnership to Preserve Independent Living, SunLine has begun an outreach program to those not currently receiving any transportation services. In addition, current users of SunDial are given the option of the TRIP program in addition to SunDial, which allows them to make more frequent and cost-effective trips. Initial response to this program has been encouraging. SunLine has also donated one bus to the Riverside County Library System, which it continues to maintain, and one bus to the Coachella Park and Recreation department. SunLine is also striving to improve communications within the paratransit service to make it more responsive and to reduce, if not eliminate, `no shows' which are the result of poor communication. SunLine took over the day-to-day operation of the dial -a -ride in July, 1999 and created 'zones' for paratransit services; ridership has increased 21%. Same day service is now available in the Indio/Coachella zone. Both SunLine and RTA have received Welfare to Work funding. SunLine has received funding to extend service hours later in the evening along the trunk line Route 111 to allow for second shift workers to access a deviated -route service. SunLine has also received planning funds for additional Welfare to Work transit services. RTA now provides a fixed route and comparable ADA service link 14 " " " between Hemet/San Jacinto and Temecula, funded by a CalWorks grant. In partnership with the Economic Development Agency, over $3,000,000 has been committed to this project. A new service began operation in the Coachella Valley. Desert Health Car, funded entirely by the Desert Health Care District Foundation, provides transportation for ambulatory persons accessing health care facilities primarily in Palm Springs, Desert Hot Springs, Cathedral City, Thousand Palms, Sky Valley, Rancho Mirage and portions of Palm Desert. This service has been well -received and the organization is interested in coordinating and collaborating with other agencies in all areas of operation. In Western Riverside County, RTA donated 2 vehicles to Anza Valley Transit, which operates a community service provided by volunteer drivers. This service operates between the Anza/Aguanga area and Temecula, Hemet and Palm Desert. Fares range from $.50 for local trips and $3.00 for inter- city trips. During the reporting period, RTA donated a total of 17 vehicles to various agencies desiring to provide services. Due to the significant number of requests received, RTA conducted a 'lottery' to enable non- profit organizations to acquire surplus vehicles. To qualify for the lottery, agencies submitted applications demonstrating their legal, financial and operational capacity for the provision of their proposed non-profit, community -based services. Recipients of vehicles included: Menifee Valley Community Cupboard, California Rehabilitation Center, Ability Counts, Navy League, Jurupa Parks and Recreation, Hope, Inc, Califomia Family Life Center, Calvary Chapel, Vine Life Christian Fellowship, Friends of Jefferson House, Eagles Christian Church, Valley -Wide Recreation and Park District and Vine Life Christian Church. RTA provides maintenance services for 4 Sheriffs Department and 5 UCR vehicles. They provide agencies with copies of vehicle specifications and review other agency's specifications. RTA has centralized dispatching of all dial -a -ride services within RTA, replacing several contractor dispatch systems in different geographic areas. RTA's centralized dispatch also provides inter -jurisdictional trip coordination between local service providers. RTA also provided specialized training sponsored by FTA for RTA employees, passengers, contractors and other public and non-profit agencies in Western Riverside County. These sessions included operator sensitivity training for serving passengers with special needs, introduction and transition to fixed route services for disabled and ADA qualified paratransit riders and clarification of ADA regulations and issues. RTA also provides a vehicle for use by other agencies in the service area when their equipment is unavailable, usually for maintenance reasons. Monthly meetings are held with RTA contractors, many of whom are also social service providers. In January of 1999 the RTA Board of Directors established an ADA subcommittee to establish a channel for direct passenger feedback and to enhance communications with that portion of the community with specialized transportation needs. In addition, RTA continues to expand community level outreach activities by establishing new local chapters of the Transportation NOW Coalition. This Coalition provides community leaders, residents, riders and other interested stakeholders a monthly forum for communication of issues and concerns related to their transportation needs. Chapters have been formed in Corona/Norco, Perris, Lake Elsinore, the Pass Area, Moreno Valley, Anza and Idyl!wild. The Partnership publishes the Meeting the Challenges Quarterly, which contains articles on transportation, health and medical topics and many other subjects designed to assist readers to age more successfully. Each issue of the magazine is read by more than 40,000 people across Riverside County and selected articles are published on-line at the "LivingPartnership.org" website. The organization has jointly developed a portal of resources and information about a variety of subjects, "Vital Connections" (www.vitalco.net), which was recently named the Press Enterprise's "Website of the Week". The Partnership has also begun production of 8 educational videos such as: "In Need of Love: Understanding the Alzheimer's Victim", "How to Recognize, Avoid and Report Elder Abuse", "The Medicare Changes -How You are Affected". Upcoming videos will deal with such topics as "Living Successfully with Diabetes", "Preparing Your Home for the Care of an Alzheimer's Patient", and "In- 15 " " " Home Safety". Over a thousand videos have been distributed to libraries, senior centers, churches, and various support groups. The organization is currently exploring ways to expand the transportation services of TRIP through a volunteer escort and driver referral system. The organization continues to collaborate with the Riverside County Office on Aging and reports any customer complaints received by the Office on Aging to transit operators. TSI has increased its contracting functions and now provides transportation for clients of several medical facilities, including the Psychiatric Resource Institute, Riverside MRI, Open Air MRI, and the VA Hospital. Other contracts include the Office on Aging, Inland Regional Center, RTA and several cities for special events. TSI has also increased its escort service for individuals with special needs. Commuter rail feeder service has been implemented at all stations in Riverside County, with the cooperation of RTA and the City of Corona, who provide the bulk of the service. Schedules of feeder services have been adapted as commuter rail schedules have been modified. Some coordination problems have been encountered with the Southem California Regional Rail Authority (SCRRA) in provision of service changes in a timely manner; however, improvements have been made in the service planning timeframes. Family Services implemented a new route service which serves local activity centers on a frequent basis in the Jurupa area, which has been well received. The Beaumont Dial -a -Ride service has become a fixed -route service, as a result of analysis of origins and destinations of current trips. The Banning fixed -route service began serving the Cabazon Outlet Center and the Morongo Casino and the service has been well -received. The Transportation Access Program continues to distribute bus tickets and transit information to agencies with clients who are seniors, persons with disabilities, and the truly needy. The Volunteer Center, which manages this program, monitors usage on a monthly basis of all participating agencies. Inland Regional Center continues to provide vouchers to its clients for use on transit services, and this ridership signifies a large portion of special service transportation clients. The Inland Regional Center also directly funds some operators, such as Family Services, who provide regularly scheduled service for clients. UCR continues operation of the Highlander Hauler on the campus and to adjacent areas. In Westem Riverside County, some coordination within the area of dispatching has occurred. TSI handles dispatching for its own customers and for Friends of Moreno Valley, for whom it provides contract services. RTA has discussed and budgeted in grant applications coordinated dispatching with the cities of Riverside and Corona, but no such coordination has yet occurred. OBSTACLES ENCOUNTERED IN IMPLEMENTING THE 1997 RCTC SOCIAL SERVICE TRANSPORTATION ACTION PLAN The main obstacles remain the increase in demand for services and the general stagnancy of funding sources. As shown in the Southern California Association of Government (SCAG) Regional Transportation Plan, "Community Link 21�, transportation funding, both for transit and for roadways, is generally insufficient to keep up with demand. Additional funding sources may be required in the future, and/or innovative uses of existing funding sources may need to be developed. The main issues raised by the transit providers are funding, recruiting and retaining drivers, and vehicle acquisition and replacement. Many are already coordinating their service with other providers, and many want improved coordination and collaboration. See Tables 6 and 7 for issues and comments provided by participants in the survey. In the future, it will be difficult to balance basic service provision characterized by low productivity for some less -dense population areas, with provision of regional inter -city services which are also often low productivity. These services, provided for all citizens, must then be balanced with provision of 16 " " specialized services for seniors, persons with disabilities, and ADA-certified individuals, as well as for the truly needy and those welfare recipients retuming to work. Recent surveys completed in the county indicate that the need for transportation for seniors appears to have outstripped available transit resources. Whether perceived or real, there are issues that some agencies are at capacity due to ADA-certified ridership, which precludes ridership for seniors who are not ADA- certified. This issue should be closely followed through outreach efforts throughout the county. ACTION PLAN In achieving this effort, several actions are recommended by the RCTC to take initial leadership to firmly establish a formalized Social Service Agency Action Plan: 1. The CTSA's will continue their efforts at consolidation and coordination. While significant progress has been made during this reporting period, efforts should continue in this area. 2. The RCTC will initiate discussions with both the Office on Aging and the United Way to fund transportation as a part of Program funding. The RCTC will offer to screen eligible transportation programs, monitor the cost effectiveness and other similar actions to encourage funding of transportation to agency -funded programs. 3. The RCTC will add reporting of trip denials & reason for denials to all quarterly reports in order to better coordinate services and review trend analyses. Operators will define trip denials according to ADA criteria. 4. The RCTC will continue to work with operators on Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) projects which have the capability to improve communication, increase productivity and improve customer information. 5. RCTC will investigate alternative funding sources for transit services and distribute that information to operators, as appropriate. 17 " TABLE 6 ISSUES AND COMMENTS FROM THE OPERATORS " " AGENCY ISSUES/COMMENTS American Cancer Society Recruiting and maintaining sufficient number of volunteer drivers and the distance to treatment centers are major problems for patients in outlying areas of the service area. Angelview Always in need of vehicles and funding for vehicles. Banning Difficulty in recruiting and retaining drivers. Beaumont Issues include improvements in providing transit services, expanding fixed routes and expanding operating hours and days. Care -A -Van Current vehicles need to be replaced due to continued excessive maintenance repairs. Corona r Issues include: transitioning part of the service to fixed route so there is more space available on demand response vehicles; gaining more coverage from RTA's fixed route; recuperating an adequate fare ratio. Desert Council on Aging Need more funding. Family Services of Westem Tight restraints on funding is an issue. Riverside County Friends of Moreno Valley It is becoming harder to obtain funds at the very time the service needs to be expanding to two vans. We are having to turn down many people every week. Inland Aids Project An issue is the elimination of trip denials due to the lack of service in that area. Is there any research in progress re the harmful side -effects of cellphones. Lighthouse for the Blind Need less costly and better maintenance. Riverside County Office of Education Per a survey conducted last year, in spite of intensive support and training, few program completers actually use RTA services for travel in the community or for work purposes. Most receive door-to-door services by vendors funded through Inland Regional Center. As a result, the following ideas are under consideration: 1) include district students who are enrolled in ROOE's Transition Partnership Program; 2) intensify training for those students who actually live in areas served by RTA; 3) Start training at an earlier age; or 4) drop the program from our curriculum. Riverside Regional Medical Center Recruiting and maintaining drivers is difficult. Riverside Special Services Difficult to provide all needed ADA services. Will be planning for possible increase in service since RTA has most of their ADA in place in the County. We still provide 50% of RTA ADA eligible service. RTA The need to respond to rapid regional growth and the ability to acquire adequate funding resources. Impacts of legislated requirements that do not include funding support are also issues. The Partnership Most important is the establishment of an effective system for referral of volunteer escort drivers. SunLine The main issue is the development of strategies to meet the increasing demand for services under the ADA while balancing the demand for fixed route services. TSI The most important issue is funding for expansion of services in South County. We have had to greatly reduce our marketing efforts to keep our trip refusals at an acceptable ratio. TSI would appreciate getting recognition and funding support for our training, technical assistance and other coordination activities. UCR The main issues are: cost containment; regulatory and environmental compliance; staffing and vehicle maintenance. Volunteer Center of Riverside County Issues include: 1) there is more regulated paperwork; 2) the need for a closer watch over client/ticket distribution to avoid overlap, duplication & abuse; 3) better outreach to agencies throughout the area.
