Description of Unmet Needs The City of Pleasanton Senior Citizen's Transportation Program was first initiated by the Pleasanton Junior Women's Club in 1972. It was developed in response to concerns about the lack of available transportation for senior residents no longer able to drive. The Junior Women's Club donated a 12- passenger mini -van to the City with the stipulation that the vehicle be used to provide free transportation for the City's elderly. In 1975, the Club donated a second van. As ridership demand increased, the City applies for received funds form Alameda County enabling the City to expand the program. Today, the program meets the needs of seniors 60 years or older that reside in Pleasanton, Sunol, and the unincorporated areas of Pleasanton. Disabled Pleasanton -Sunol clients who meet ADA qualifications and are 18 years and older are also eligible for this service. During FY 2008 -09, there were 298 new riders that used the Pleasanton Paratransit Service. It is estimated that at least 200 new riders will register for the service in FY 2009 -2010.
