TDA 4.5 Document E(a) <br /> Page 7 <br /> Suggestions for improvements were noted as part of the assessment; however they <br /> focused on increasing service and thereby increasing budget allocations which are <br /> difficult to achieve in this economic climate. The consultants also advocated for <br /> an effective inter-county transportation agreement to improve accessibility for <br /> residents to cross between Alameda, Contra Costa, and Santa Clara Counties. <br /> City representatives will be using the assessment findings to help educate decision <br /> makers, as well as, residents on the local needs. The development of a community <br /> —based strategic plan is also part of the next step in this process in order to address <br /> community needs. (Eastern Alameda County 2011 Human Services Needs <br /> Assessment: Findings Report February 2012) <br /> City of Pleasanton Paratransit Needs <br /> Pleasanton Paratransit Services cannot keep up with the growing need for region- <br /> wide paratransit services, especially medical appointments. This need continues to <br /> increase as hospitals consolidate, doctors specialize, and there are limited HMO <br /> affiliates. <br /> With the continuing economic challenges, there will be an increased need to try <br /> and help seniors subsidize their trips. Increased requests for the City of <br /> Pleasanton's Fee Assistance Program will continue to occur. With limited general <br /> fund support, this program will not be able to keep up with the demand for <br /> financial need and thus low-income seniors will not be able to afford 1:o use the <br /> PPS program. <br /> Limited availability of MTC TDA 4.5 transportation funds and Measure B pass- <br /> through dollars creates challenges in trying to meet the demand for paratransit <br /> services. Staff will have to carefully evaluate the limited resources and make <br /> decisions on how to best allocate these dollars. <br /> Marketing and Outreach <br /> Marketing for the Pleasanton Paratransit Services is completed through the City <br /> of Pleasanton Community Services Department. Pleasanton Paratransit is <br /> promoted in the Activities Guide, produced and distributed to all Pleasanton <br /> residents (28,000 households). <br /> Program brochures are distributed to local stores, medical offices, the library, <br /> schools, service centers, etc. One-page PPS and DTR flyers have been created as <br /> inexpensive marketing tools to use in mass mailings and distribution. <br />
