Major Challenges in the Region
Service Delivery -different spans of service
Cost Determination - increased ridership
Fixed-route Service Cuts - reduces coverage
Eligibility - no regional process
Service Coverage - interjurisdictional routes
Fares - no interagency fare agreements

Develop regional fare policy
Vehicles and facilities (transfer and maintenance)
Establish a regional paratransit fare product
Coordinate transfers (service spans) for a seamless trip
Ignore existing gaps in service and customer dissatisfaction
Develop plan for coordinated regional paratransit system
Responsibility of service provision and cost
Service beyond ¾ mile buffer up to ½ mile
