Commissioner Adrienne Langley-Cook informed the commission that Crosstown Coffee House would have an art, crafts and flower sale to benefit the Community Center on April 30th NEW BUSINESS: 1. Paratransit: Ms. Jackie Krause, Senior Services Manager Mastick Senior Center, discussed the proposed Measure B Paratransit funding application program for fiscal year 2005/2006 to the commission. Hi-lights of the program will include subsidized taxi services for ADA registered applicants who do not always have effective access to East Bay Paratransit Services at certain times of the day or from certain out of reach locations when East Bay Paratransit is not available. The City will also offer taxi service for those needing immediate transportation services to medical appointments during the 21-day certification period. Jackie distributed an Alameda County Transportation Improvement Authority (ACTIA) "Accessible Transit Services in Alameda County' booklet to the commissioners. She also distributed Paratransit applications and that assistance in completing the applications is available at Mastic Senior Center. In a call to questions regarding improvements to the program, Commissioner Gina McGaughey stated that route scheduling could be better coordinated between multiple pickups. Jackie suggested that she could arrange for a representative from Paratransit to meet with the commission, but that any meeting would have to be during the day, not evening. Vice-Chair James Gwynne informed the commission that there will be a mobility exposition November 18-20 in Santa Clara and asked Jackie if arrangements could be made for a Paratransit service to the expedition. Jackie stated that that is a possibility but would need to know the time and number of people planning to attend. | CommissiononPersonswithDisabilities/2005-04-25.pdf |
