SAN LUIS OBISPO REGION COORDINATED HUMAN SERVICES-PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN broadest caseload representation was among generalized groups where agencies were serving multiple consumer groups -- senior and disabled social services and public social services agencies, together reporting over 105,000 consumers. Specifically low income consumers were reported as 1637. Agencies serving youth and children reported 1300 consumers. Medical and health-related agencies responding reported 1080 consumers. Public transit agencies, presumably reporting the registered users on dial-a-ride and demand response services, reported 920 consumers. Table 3-4- 2007 Stakeholder Survey Caseload/ Constituencies Reported by Service Type n of Agencies Reported Caseload % of Total Caseload Consumer Groups Served Senior/ Disabled, Social Services 23 53,023 48% General Public, Social Services 11 52,548 47% Low Income 5 1,637 1% Youth/ Child 2 1,300 1% Medical/Health 4 1,080 1% Public Transit Agencies 7 920 1% Faith Based 1 175 0% Education 6 119 0% Commercial Operators 2 0 0% Totals 61 110,802 100% As noted previously, these numbers may include some level of duplication. But they also represent different communities of interest that are suggested by their responding agencies. The varying types of consumers these agencies represent are worth noting. Transportation Services Provided Agencies were asked to describe the transportation they may provide and offered a number of ways in which to characterize that service. Responses could include: • Arranging for transportation by assisting with information but clients responsible for follow-up • Subsidizing transportation through agency purchase of coupons, scrip, passes, fares or mileage reimbursement • Agency directly operates transportation with full responsibility for the transportation by this agency • Arranging for volunteer drivers • Public transit provision to general public • Contracting with another entity or agencies to provide transportation services • No transportation operated, contracted or subsidized Figure 3-3 presents the results for the data set as a whole, identifying separately those entities that provide public transportation services. For purposes of this analysis, the Ride-On CTSA program has been included in that group. Figure 3-3 presents the forms of transportation reported by responding agencies. Providing no form of transportation was selected by onethird of all respondents (21 agencies-34 percent). These agencies are neither directly providing transportation nor assisting consumers in obtaining transportation services. By contrast, almost one-quarter (14 agencies-23 percent) are at a minimum arranging transportation for consumers in a variety of ways. This can mean simply providing phone numbers and letting consumers request their own trips. Or, it may be more involved with staffers making the trip 29 OCTOBER 2007
SAN LUIS OBISPO REGION COORDINATED HUMAN SERVICES-PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN arrangements for consumers. Usually this function does not involve any expenditure of funds by agencies. Second most frequent are those agencies who are subsidizing transportation on behalf of their consumers, through bus passes or tokens or mileage reimbursement (12 agencies –20 percent). Figure 3-3 shows that those agencies operating directly represent 16 percent of respondents (10 agencies). Followed closely behind are those arranging for volunteer drivers (9 agencies –15 percent). 3 Responding public transit operators were grouped together for purposes of this question (8 agencies--13 percent of respondents). And agencies who contract with another entity to provide transportation were the smallest group (6 agencies–10 percent) Figure 3-3 2007 Inventory Transportation Services Provided, n=61 No transportation 34% Arranges 23% Subsidizes 20% Agency operates Arrange for volunteer drivers Public transit to general public 13% 15% 16% Contract with another entity 10% 0% 5% 10% 15% 20% 25% 30% 35% 40% Examining these reported relationships to transportation related to the agency’s legal status, some interesting differences emerge (Table 3-5) which uses the language provided in the survey to describe the transportation function. For-profit agencies were most likely to provide information assistance to the consumers but less likely to directly operate, contract or subsidize. Non-profit organizations were most likely to provide no transportation services (14 agencies-52 percent). 3 A question was raised about whether these agencies take responsibility for the liability of volunteer drivers or whether they require the driver to maintain his or her own insurance. This was not explored in the survey but could be an important follow-up question in subsequent work with volunteer-based transportation programs. 30 OCTOBER 2007
