A new enhancement will include a travel training program designed to educate seniors <br /> and persons with disabilities on how to access different modes of transportation in the <br /> Tri-Valley. We will continue to provide outreach, education and mobility coordination <br /> with other local transportation providers such as the Livermore Amador Valley Transit <br /> Authority (LAVTA) and the Senior Support Program of the Tri-Valley Volunteer Driver <br /> Program. <br /> Available reserves from previous year's Measure B/BB allocations will provide for the <br /> purchase of an accessible passenger van to add to the paratransit fleet. This will allow <br /> more efficient transportation for longer trips that aren't typically shared rides. Options <br /> for an eco-friendly accessible passenger van will be explored and considered. <br /> The Mobility Forward: Tri-Valley Paratransit Study is in progress. This study is being <br /> conducted in collaboration with LAVTA. Consultant Nelson Nygaard, was hired to <br /> conduct a comprehensive assessment of Tri-Valley paratransit services. The purpose of <br /> the study is to evaluate the performance of paratransit services provided by the City of <br /> Pleasanton and LAVTA, develop approaches for improving paratransit services for older <br /> adults as well as people with disabilities living in the Tri-Valley, and help define how <br /> investments in paratransit and other transportation should be made in the coming years. <br /> The results of this study will recommend best practices for both the city and LAVTA to <br /> be more efficient Tri-Valley transit providers. There have been delays in the final stages <br /> of the study as a result of unexpected vacancies at LAVTA and at Nelson Nygaard. The <br /> final plan is forthcoming. <br /> ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT <br /> As an existing and continuing program, Pleasanton Paratransit Service is exempt from <br /> the California Environmental Quality Act that may be required under this funding <br /> process. <br /> Submitted by: Fisc I Review: Approved y: <br /> luk <br /> Heidi Murphy Tina Olson Nelson Fialho <br /> Director of Library Services, Finance Director City Manager <br /> Acting Director of <br /> Community Services <br /> Attachment: <br /> 1.
