Preventative Maintenance-IDOT
5310 Recommendations & Best Practices:
Terri Finn provided
information about preventative maintenance, policies and procedures as
recommended by IDOT. This can be the number
one way to help save money, and overall safety of vehicles.
Overall safety for
transportation buses can involve different things at different times of the
year, such as, snow and ice affecting your tires, also making sure tracks for wheelchairs
are properly cleaned out to prevent rust and corrosion. She also discussed how there are different
options for agencies to keep track of the maintenance records. IDOT is working on a web based system that
will help agencies with guidelines and best practices to follow and time tables
for various preventative maintenance to be done. There are also other web based maintenance
tools to help keep track of maintenance records; such as Auto Wolf that was
presented to the committee just last year. Many of these web based tools are extremely
cheap and help keep all maintenance records at your fingertips and easily
accessible.
General Discussion:
·
Agency Information\Updates:
Per the October meeting discussion of emergency management, Adam and Terri
both wondered if any agencies in Clay County were able to get together to discuss
options if a disaster were to occur.
Such a meeting could include nursing homes, assisted living, CILAS,
workshops, hospital, etc. With a good
coordination\evacuation plan, all could help each other with transportation,
supplies, housing, etc. in the event of a disaster. Terri mentioned that Dayo Adenekan was
especially interested in a meeting.
Gidget Simpson stated that a meeting had not yet taken place. Steve Simms offered his assistance and
discussed that it would be possible to get local agencies together for a
meeting. The HSTP committee could be
updated on any results at the May meeting.
Gidget & Dayo will contact Steve to work out details.

Terri Finn stated that the Regional Plan is finished and has
been sent to IDOT.
·
New Business- no new business was discussed.
