Resolution Adopting Plan 2014 Wood County Locally Coordinated Public and Human Service Transportation Plan Chapter 1 : Introduction Until this document, Wood County has not developed an inclusive coordinated public- human service transportation plan that encompasses all aspects of transportation for underserved groups, including the elderly, disabled, and low income populations. A report was prepared by the Institute for Child & Family Policy, Bowling Green State University in 2008 which provided a framework for developing a final plan. It is upon this body of work that a group of stakeholders in Wood County began discussions and started the planning process that results in the completion of a Coordinated Plan. The original entity that commissioned the 2008 work by the Institute was Children’s Resource Center, and that organization is included within the stakeholder committee that met several times in 2013 and 2014 to shape this plan. Many of the disparate elements exist in Wood County to deliver a coordinated program of transportation. However, each service provider has continued to operate their program with minimal overall coordination, and a number of gaps in service have been identified. Those gaps are listed in a later chapter in this document. This “Locally Developed Coordinated Public Transit –Human Services Transportation Plan” is an attempt to bring into one document a report on the work conducted to date by a very active stakeholder committee, as well as research conducted in part by Masters of Public Administration Graduate Students of the Political Science Department at Bowling Green State University. Further assistance in facilitating the plan has been provided by staff from WSOS Community Action Commission, Inc. In addition, the plan is adding information gained through the experience of every participating transportation provider. It also serves as a response to the need to ensure that projects selected for funding under certain specific funding sources must be derived from such a plan. The three specified programs have historically been the following: l 49 USC Section 5310, the Elderly Individuals with Disabilities Program, which provides capital grants for the purpose of assisting organizations in providing transportation services to meet the special needs of elderly persons and persons with disabilities where existing transportation services are unavailable, insufficient or inappropriate. l 49 USC Section 5317, the New Freedom Program, which previously provided grants for new public transportation services and public transportation alternatives beyond those required by the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. There is a presumption that 5310 funded projects can meet needs previously funded under this program. Chapter 1-1 2014 Wood County Locally Coordinated Public and Human Service Transportation Plan l 49 USC Section 5316, the Job Access and Reverse Commute Program, which previously provided grants for the development and maintenance of transportation services designed to transport welfare recipients and eligible low-income individuals to and from jobs and activities related to their employment. JARC funds are now allocated to states as part of their Section 5311 apportionment. Projects previously eligible for JARC funding are now specifically eligible under 5311. l 49 USC Section 5311, funds are now allocated to states using, in part, a service measure (revenue miles) in addition to population and land area data, specifics of which are being developed. The plan was developed through a process that includes representatives of public, private, and nonprofit transportation and human services providers and participation by the public. Participation by all of these sectors has been solicited, in several ways and in several venues, including the following: · Completion of a public survey at the Wood County Fairgrounds during the county fair in August 2013; · Completion of surveys and conducting of a focus group with elderly participants at Senior Centers and collection of surveys from homebound Seniors; · Completion of surveys by disabled clients of Wood Lane; · Collection of surveys by clients at the Wood County office of the Department of Job and Family Services; · Furnishing of information about transportation services by a number of social service agencies providing transportation; · Completion by a number of agencies of the “Framework for Progress” evaluation tool, and its subsequent review. · The implementation of a strategic planning process by a number of stakeholders in a series of meetings during winter 2014, which identified strengths and weaknesses, opportunities and threats, identified known and perceived gaps in service, revealed demographic and survey information, and led to an identification of goals and strategies to be pursued in the development of a coordinated system of transportation for Wood County. · Interviews with a large number of key informants who are considered stakeholders in the County’s provision of transportation today. Guidance from the U.S. and Ohio Departments of Transportation emphasize that the Local Plan should include the following elements: Chapter 1-2 2014 Wood County Locally Coordinated Public and Human Service Transportation Plan l An assessment of transportation needs for individuals with disabilities, older adults, and persons with limited incomes; l An inventory of available services that identifies areas of redundant service and gaps in service; l Strategies to address the identified gaps in service; l Identification of coordination actions to eliminate or reduce duplication in services and strategies for more efficient utilization of resources; and l Prioritization of implementation strategies. The following chapters of the plan are organized to present these required elements. After this introduction of the plan, which also offers an overview of rural transportation needs and the needs of the specific population groups cited above, the remainder of the plan is arranged as follows: · CHAPTER TWO provides an overview and analysis of the demographics of Wood County and some of its political subdivisions, in an effort to understand the current and changing characteristics of the populations being served and needing transportation services. Wood County is very diverse, ranging from Toledo Metropolitan Area suburbs in the north, to a large and central city (Bowling Green) in the middle of the County, which is the centralized source of many human services, shopping opportunities, and employment and educational options, and a more rural, low-density region in the southern portion of the county. · CHAPTER THREE presents an inventory of the available transportation services provided within Wood County for its residents. Affiliated social service agencies and partners are also described. · CHAPTER FOUR presents a brief description of the transportation “infrastructure” in which a coordinated transportation system must operate. Information is provided about the County’s interlocking system of Interstate, U.S., State, and County highways, as well as some data on rail and air transportation facilities · CHAPTER FIVE incorporates a discussion of the key trip generators within the County, with a special focus on trips generated by and for elderly, disabled, and low income persons. l CHAPTER SIX offers an updated look at the transportation sources available from a variety of state and federal offices, which can help fund specific portions of an overall coordinated system. l CHAPTER SEVEN presents an extensive description and analysis of the numerous Chapter 1-3 2014 Wood County Locally Coordinated Public and Human Service Transportation Plan sources of public input listed above. An effort is made to identify areas where two or more sources of input point toward the same problem or suggested solution, and to point toward trends where needs cited by varying entities converge. · CHAPTER EIGHT ties the needs and goals cited previously in the document together, lays out a blueprint for the beginning steps in framing and forming a coordination strategy, prioritizes the needs and goals based on local input, and then provides further discussion of the possible and likely future for transportation within Wood County for the public at large, and for the identified needs groups of those with disabilities, older adults, and persons with limited incomes. It is important to acknowledge the many people who helped develop this plan and ensure that it represents the needs and opinions
