CommissiononPersonswithDisabilities | 2018-02-14 | 6 | ITEM 2-A COMMISSION ON DISABILITY MEETING MINUTES OF Wednesday, February 14, 2018 6:30 p.m. Victoria Williams: AC Transit does that for us. So yes, we do have that information and I didn't bring it but we can get it to you. Jennifer Roloff: Because you could get a pass and theoretically not use it, right? Victoria Williams: Right. Jennifer Roloff: So do you scan on now? Victoria Williams: Right. And we're capped at 167 clients. That's how many we can afford to fund. That's a good number of people being served. And you can see, if 167 people are using it 4,000 times a month, they're going places. So that's good for them. Jennifer Roloff: Okay, so that number is how many rides? The number on the graph is how many rides? Victoria Williams: Boardings? How many boardings? Jennifer Roloff: How many boardings? Victoria Williams: Average boardings per month. Jennifer Roloff: Okay. So that answered my question of how often it's being used, and that's within 167 passes. Are they all getting distributed, all 167? Victoria Williams: Yes. Jennifer Roloff: So we have a wait list? Victoria Williams: I don't think so. I think that covered most of the people. We started with one, with Alameda Point Collaborative and I think that was enough to cover the households in that complex or in that area. But you'll hear more about that in just a minute. Victoria Williams: So this is what we recommend for our program for 2018 and '19. We'd like to continue marketing the rebranded and more frequent Alameda Loop Shuttle. And we'd like a smartphone app for real-time shuttle location. We're really pretty accurate. It takes a little bit of extra time to secure a wheelchair, and if there are two wheelchairs on there, that'll take a little bit more time. But we're really within 10 minutes and we allow 10 minutes. It's not like the AC Transit Bus that has to be there at exactly on the dot, because we allow for some of our riders who are slower getting on and off than other riders. Victoria Williams: So a smartphone app for those who use a smartphone, not all of our riders do, but some would, would show those folks just where the shuttle is at this time. So we'd like to add that. And with the taxi service, of course, we need to do more marketing and outreach. And then, again, we'd like to have a smartphone app for the real-time of that taxi. So they're very accurate 02/14/18 Page 6 of 24 | CommissiononPersonswithDisabilities/2018-02-14.pdf |
