Mr. Weiner addressed the Study Purpose, Study Objectives, Study Process, Existing Paratransit Providers, Pleasanton Paratransit versus Wheels Dial-A-Ride in terms of operating costs and Other Highlights. He addressed details of a SWOT analysis and presented recommendations. Mayor Thorne stated LAFTA seems to be taking on a huge burden. They are heavily involved in Valley Link, and in all likelihood, they will be the ones who run the system. He expressed concern about overburdening LAFTA at this point. Mr. Weiner noted currently they are looking at about a couple thousand trips per year and may not have much of an impact if the change is implemented carefully. Councilmember Pentin felt it important to point out they do all of the ADA Transit for Dublin and Livermore. The City of Pleasanton took this project on its own volition. He added costs to the City are not even close to the costs to LAFTA and opined it may be time to shift the responsibility to LAFTA. In response to Councilmember Brown's question asking if Pleasanton uses clipper cards, Ms. Hopkins said it does not, but rather uses paper punch cards. She added staff is thoughtful about the implementation of the recommendations.
