Community Transportation Coordinator Status Report- No Action Required
Karen Deigl, President and CEO, SRA reviewed the TDLCB Quarterly report, from May to July, 2016, a copy of which is on file in the Commission Office.
Ms. Deigl pointed out beginning July 1, 2016 SRA extended hours of the Community Coach by providing service on Sundays. She explained SRA received Transportation Disadvantaged dollars (TO Dollars) and the dollars were not utilized. She continued because the GoLine was not running at all, except over on the beach, a circulator route, offering the Community Coach on Sundays, the rider would be considered a TO rider, even though they may be Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) trips on other days.
Ms. Deigl handed out a copy of the 'TD After Hours" and explained another program available to enhance accessibility and mobility for TD riders and/or anyone at gap times. She continued the program being reviewed was to enhance mobility not only for TD riders, but to maximize the mobility for a number of different riders, such as someone working who may end their shift at 11 o'clock in the evening when the GoLine was closed.
Ms. Deigl mentioned there were additional grant dollars, $1 .7 Million Dollars given to the Commission for TD, which could be awarded to Community Transportation Coordinators, such as SRA, for these types of mobility programs. She reminded the Board the Goline operated from 6 o'clock in the morning until 7 o'clock in the evening, with no public transportation services available from 7 o'clock in the evening until 6 o'clock in the morning. She explained to fill this gap, SRA was reviewing the coordination of systems with outside sources such as Uber, Lyft, Stellar Transportation (private company out of Melbourne), who provided stretcher or dialysis capabilities, and All County Ambulance.
Ms. Deigl explained SRA would be developing a limited program for certain persons who would be able to prove employment, or entail certain medical requirements. She further explained the program would work with the person in need of transportation, who would contact SRA for the trip and then SRA would make arrangements with the outside vender of choice, with that vendor billing SRA once a month for that trip.
Mr. Bob McPartlan arrived at 10:10 a.m.
Ms. Deigl stated the grant was required to be submitted by October 11 , 2016, with the funds, should SRA receive approval, being available on January 1, 2017, with the first allotment of funds needing to be utilized by June, 2017, very much like a pilot program.
Ms. Wendy Grow and Milagros Chervoni arrived at 10:13 a.m.

SUBJECT: Review of Transportation Disadvantaged Annual Operating Report for FY 2015/16
It is requested that the information herein presented be given formal consideration by the Transportation Disadvantaged Local Coordinating Board (TDLCB) at its regular meeting of November 17, 2016.
SUMMARY
To receive yearly allocations from the Commission for the Transportation Disadvantaged (CTD), recipients must submit an Annual Operating Report by September 15 of each year. Staff recommends the Transportation Disadvantaged local Coordinating Board (TDLCB) approve the final FY 2015/16 Annual Operating Report and authorize staff to send the approved report to the CTD.
DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS
As part of the Transportation Disadvantaged (TD) Planning Grant contract between the Indian River County Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) and the State of Florida Commission for the Transportation Disadvantaged (CTD), an Annual Operating Report (AOR) must be submitted to the CTD annually. To comply with the CTD's requirements, a draft version of the AOR was submitted to the CTD by the Senior Resources Association (SRA) as the Community Transportation Coordinator.
The attached report covers demand response operations for the July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016 state fiscal year. This report includes information about passenger trips, vehicles, and
revenue and expense sources. Information, such as population, vehicle miles, and passenger miles, captured by this report is used to determine yearly allocations by the CTD.
ANALYSIS
The attached Annual Operating Report is a summary of paratransit operations for FY 2015/2016. Through the SRA and its two coordination contractors (ARC and Gulfstream Goodwill), the county provided 82,065 one-way paratransit trips. The largest funding sources for those trips were the Agency for Persons with Disabilities (55%) and the Commission for the Transportation Disadvantaged (17%). Of those trips, 48% were made by the elderly, ages 65 and older, and 49% were made by low income persons (nearly all passengers were persons with disabilities). In addition, over half of passengers (58%) used paratransit services for education/training/daycare and over one quarter (28%) for medical appointments. The remaining trips were for employment, nutrition, and life-sustaining purposes.
Attached is a copy of the Annual Operating Report. The AOR will be submitted to the CTD upon TDLCB approval.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the TDLCB approve the Annual Operating Report and direct staff to forward the final report to the CTD.
