GENERAL DIRECTION SOUGHT AND SPECIFIC QUESTIONS TO BE ANSWERED Staff is seeking Council direction on continuation of night service for Dial-A-Ride clients beyond March 31,2007 as well as on several issues that have arisen during the DAR policy implementation. 1. What direction does Council have in regards to the continuation of night service past March 31, 2007? If Council wishes to continue providing this service, additional funds must be allocated. 2. Staff seeks clarification from Council on the DAR clients who live outside the new service area, i.e., 84 clients who were grandfathered into the service. a. Dial-A-Ride is only serving those who have a disability that prevents them from using fixed route bus service. In order to ascertain who is eligible, all 84 clients are being required to recertify; as are all DAR clients. b. Of the 84 clients who qualify,the City will provide service through December 2007; and staff understood that Council will likely continue the service in the 2008-2009 budget. C. Of the 84 clients who qualify,does Council wish staff to provide grandfathered DAR service to those who live in Loveland? d. Only those who are eligible out of the 84 clients are being grandfathered; and while there have been requests from others, staff has said no and continued to only serve those in the new service area. FINANCIAL IMPACT Cost projections have been impacted by the delay in recertification. The budget was based on implementation of all elements ofthe service changes being effective January 2,2007. Staffprojects that the recertification of all DAR clients will be completed in April 2007. Once the recertification February 27, 2007 page 2 is complete, some trips will be identified as ineligible because they can be taken on the fixed route bus service. Until the recertification is completed, all of the client's trips are being taken on DAR. The additional cost of providing this unanticipated service is approximately$50,000, which could be offset by the late start of Route 17 (Timberline) and Route 18 (East Prospect); projected to be about $65,000. Staff is, however, currently using some of the$65,000 to operate DAR night service. Based on the night service ridership in the first month, staff anticipates that provision of night service(7:00 PM — 11:00 PM)through March 31, will cost approximately$15,000. Night service could be continued through 2007 for an additional$45,000,but it is not currently included in the DAR budget. BACKGROUND During the 2007 budget revision process,staffpresented information to the City Council that showed Fort Collins provided a significantly higher level of paratransit service than is required by the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA). While staff was able to maintain a cost per passenger at approximately $22 per trip, the operating costs were exceeding budget due to the increasing demand for service. Studies showed that this higher level of service was out of the ordinary compared to other transit systems and it was no longer sustainable. Staff recommended that City Council modify DAR to the ADA mandated level of service, which impacted service area, eligibility, service hours, and fares. The projected savings from this service change was enough to add fixed route bus service in three major corridors; Harmony Road, Timberline, and East Prospect. The adoption of the 2007 revised budget implemented these service changes with some exceptions. City Council chose to add$122,000 to the budget to grandfather in the eligible clients out of the 84 clients that live outside of the new service area. Continuation of service to these people was contingent on them having disabilities that prevented them from using fixed route all or part of the time. This would be determined through a recertification process that they would be required to undergo, as would all existing DAR passengers. City Council also directed staff to use the savings from the delayed implementation of Route 17 and Route 18 to provide DAR night service from 7:00 PM— 11:00 PM Monday through Saturday until March 31, 2007, or until further directed by Council. ISSUES AND CHALLENGES With such substantial changes in Dial-A-Ride, staff is realizing some real challenges; some anticipated and others that were less predictable. February 27, 2007 Page 3 DAR Client Recertification Process As a result of DAR service changes, trained staff must assess each client's ability to use the fixed route bus service. In order to ascertain the extent of the client's limitations, detailed questions are asked of each applicant. This met with criticism and accusations that staff intentionally created an onerous application in an attempt to deter eligible applicants from qualifying for DAR. In fact,the application has been successfully completed by over 530 applicants from various age groups and with varying cognitive abilities. This is approximately 55% of the number of anticipated returned applications; and staff expects many more will be submitted by the deadline. To further assist passengers, several steps were taken to make personal contacts with each client to ascertain if they received an application and understood it, and if they needed assistance in completing the questionnaire. In many cases, a second application form was mailed to the client or staff met with the client to complete the application for the individual. The letters and applications were mailed to clients on January 11, 2007 and applicants were asked to return the forms to Transfort by February 20, 2007. The information will be confirmed by a healthcare professional that is familiar with the applicant's disability and its impacts on the client. The budget was based on implementation of all elements of the service changes being effective January 2,2007. Staff projects that the recertification of all DAR clients will be completed in April 2007. Grandfathering of 84 clients Staff is receiving complaints from some people who were not grandfathered in because they were not using the DAR system in 2006. Staff understood Council direction was to continue to provide service throughout 2007 for the 84 people if they had a disability that prevented them from using fixed route bus service. Staff wishes to confirm that Council wants this service to continue to December 31,2007 and likely beyond that with implementation of the 2008-2009 budget. Some of those impacted have expressed concerns that their service could end on March 31, 2007. Some of the 84 live in Loveland and used the City of Loveland Transit(COLT)paratransit service to get to the DAR service area, and then they completed their trip on DAR. Did Council intend to grandfather in Loveland residents;or was the intent to only grandfather in the citizens of the Growth Management Area who were dependent on DAR? Night Time Service During the 2007 Budget revision,staffproposed that the service hours parallel the fixed route service hours which are 6:00 AM to 7:00 PM. Based on input from the community, Council decided to continue night service until 11:00 PM through March 31, 2007. Staff is seeking Council direction as to whether the service should continue beyond March 31, and if so, for how long. If Council February 27, 2007 Page 4 wishes to continue night service through December 31, 2007, it would cost an additional $45,000 that is not currently included in the DAR budget. DAR Task Force Update City Council directed staff to form a Task Force to identify additional options and resources that could fill the gaps created by the service changes. The Task Force is comprised of representatives from the City of Fort Collins,Larimer County,North Front Range MPO,faith-based organizations, community service organizations and representatives of the disabled and elderly populations. Moderated by City staff, the Task Force has met four times to date. The group has identified their top three short-term goals,which include identifying and prioritizing the service needed beyond the ADA minimum level provided by the City;identifying alternative funding and resources in order to provide these services;and to better understand the role each entity can play(public,private and non- profit). To date, a solution has not been identified, but the group has formed sub-committees to further explore needs,resources,and policies. Staff will continue to provide Council updates on the progress of the Task Force throughout the year. ATTACHMENTS 1. Dial-A-Ride service area map. 2. Route 16 (Harmony)brochure. 3.
