CommissiononPersonswithDisabilities | 2019-01-16 | 10 | MEETING MINUTES Wednesday, January 16, 2019, 6:30 PM Victoria Williams: Ahh, I hadn't either. Victoria Williams: As we're investigating, that's a good thing to keep at the top of our minds. Thank you. Lisa Hall: And then the subsidized taxi service and the scholarship programs. If somebody is interested, where would they just start? Call your number? Victoria Williams: Yes. Or Mastick Senior Center, my office is there so they can call Mastick and they'll find me or send them to my voicemail. And my phone numbers are on all of the schedules. Lisa Hall: I know a lot more of the seniors know about our information, about things going on because of Mastick and others and you reach out but there's a small disability group of younger people and they don't know about a lot of the services. So that's why we're obviously, we're trying to get the services, the word out. So that's good, I just want to make sure because somebody asked me about the taxi service and I said, "Yeah, I know we have it going, I'm just not sure about all the parameters." So thanks for all you're doing. Victoria Williams: Oh, you're welcome. Chair Elizabeth Kenny: Thank you, Commissioner Hall. Also I would like to suggest that you have your friend reach out to the commission about what happened with Uber. We have reached out to Uber in the past about a very similar issue so we could definitely do that, again. And they could definitely use the reminder. So one thing that I wanted to ask about was have you guys considered running one of the shuttle days be a weekend day? Victoria Williams: We haven't at this point, there are some suggestions in the survey that they'd like to have more days but it's funding. So we haven't explored that at the moment, but I know it is something that would be great to do. Chair Elizabeth Kenny: Yes, I hear a lot more people talking about the shuttle than I have previously. I think there's a lot of confusion as to what it is. People think often, that it's the shuttle that's been talked about by different business districts. But the other thing that I hear is like, "Well, why doesn't it run on the weekend?" But I do appreciate all that you have done and you are doing, it's a lot of work and I think you're doing a great job. So thank you. Victoria Williams: Thank you, thank you. So shall we tell our funders that we have your support? Chair Elizabeth Kenny: Why don't we take a vote on it? I move that we vote to support the Transportation Plan for the fiscal year, 2019-2020 for the City of Alameda Transportation Plan for Seniors and People with Disabilities. Do I have a second on that motion? Commissioner Deutsch seconded my motion. All in favor? Aye. All: Aye. 03/13/19 Page 10 of 16 | CommissiononPersonswithDisabilities/2019-01-16.pdf |
