Concerns over wait times of over an hour for public bus rides which is against ADA requirements. It was brought up that a waiver can be obtained from ADA to allow such wait times.
Concerns of weather or not RIDES MTD could provide off hour services and other specialty trips. Debora assured several times that RIDES could provide these trips.
There was also discussion about avoiding the creation of “funding Silos”.
There was discussion about CILA type residential homes and weather or not every home needed a vehicle. A conclusion was that they did need vehicles but if several homes existed in one town then those homes should be able to share vehicles within a town or specific area.
V. Open Discussion
Elton announced that the next meeting would be tested out as an online meeting and that I would be held in the latter part of March 2011 in order to avoid conflicts that might arise in April as April is often the start of a new fiscal year for some agencies and thus a busy time of year.
Elton stated that the next meeting would focus on plan revisions, subcommittee development, and bylaw modifications.
