the average daily attendance and that requiring specialized transportation assistance and/ or<br />

were traveling in a wheelchair (Table 3-2).<br />

Caseload information drawn from respondents, suggests that 110,802 persons are touched by<br />

the agencies represented. If these were unduplicated individuals, this could be 46 percent <strong>of</strong><br />

the county’s approximately 250,000 residents. It is highly likely though that these agencies<br />

reflect some level <strong>of</strong> duplication as individuals who present to the social service system or may<br />

be using public transit, may also be utilizing other services represented among the survey<br />

respondents. Of the individuals reported, an estimated 16,594 (15 percent) are traveling daily<br />

to activities, programs, training or services provided by responding agencies.<br />

Responding public agencies are seeing the greatest number <strong>of</strong> these persons, almost 14,000 <strong>of</strong><br />

the reported almost 17,000 traveling daily. For non-pr<strong>of</strong>it agencies, although only 2,573<br />

persons are reported as traveling daily, these represent a greater proportion <strong>of</strong> these agencies’<br />

caseloads (33 percent), than for the public agencies that reported just 13 percent <strong>of</strong> total<br />

caseload are traveling daily. This is consistent with the likelihood that non-pr<strong>of</strong>it agencies are<br />

seeing their clientele more frequently than is possible for the larger public organizations.<br />

Consumers needing transportation assistance were estimated at 15 percent overall by all<br />

reporting agencies. The responding public agencies reported a lower percentage <strong>of</strong> daily<br />

attendees requiring transportation assistance, 13 percent. For pr<strong>of</strong>it and non-pr<strong>of</strong>it<br />

organizations reported high proportions <strong>of</strong> their caseloads attending daily programming, 35<br />

percent and 33 percent respectively.<br />

Mobility devices, predominately wheelchairs, were observed in use by just one percent <strong>of</strong> the<br />

overall population, almost 200 individuals traveling daily. The highest incidence was reported by<br />

the private for-pr<strong>of</strong>it agencies (14 percent), possibly because this includes a dialysis center as<br />

well the specialized for-pr<strong>of</strong>it transportation provider, R&D.<br />
