TransportationCommission | 2018-01-24 | 2 | 5. NEW BUSINESS 5A 2018-5123 Approve the City of Alameda Transportation Program Plan for Seniors and People with Disabilities for Fiscal Year 2018/2019 (Action) Victoria Williams, Paratransit Coordinator, gave a presentation. The staff report and attachment can be found at: ttps://alameda.legistar.com/LegislationDetail.aspx?ID=3312459&GUID=A99E4217- 6663-4E87-B5F6-D4FD2OFD2A63&FullText= Chair Bellows asked if the Measure BB funding will continue and be able to sustain the program into the future. Staff Member Williams said she thinks they will be able to continue to provide their services, noting that the large capital expenditures would not be necessary in the future. Commissioner Soules asked how many stops are co-located with AC Transit stops. Staff Member Williams said about ten stops were co-located. Commissioner Soules suggested getting the service added to the transit feature of Google Maps, which could help ridership. Chair Bellows opened the public hearing. Pat Potter, CASA and Bike Walk Alameda, asked if tricycles had been considered by the program to provide for seniors who would like to get outdoors. Commissioner Vargas asked how the Cross Alameda Trail would help the program. Staff Member Williams said it would help provide options for seniors to safely get places and get exercise, and said it connects some shuttle stops. Staff Member Payne said the separate trails and mid-block crossing near Independence Plaza would be assisted by this funding. Commissioner Vargas said that the connection may need a little more explanation to justify that connection. He asked why there was a planned drop in the outreach cost. Staff Member Payne said that they are doing the big push for outreach now and that by next year will be able to reduce that number. Commissioner Bertken asked if the vouchers were still available. 2 | TransportationCommission/2018-01-24.pdf |
