OKI Coordinated Public Transit – Human Services Transportation Plan May 2012needs for coordination or other needs. Comments were simultaneously summarized anddisplayed on oversized tablets and easels by a recorder for each group.The public meeting ended with each small group reporting back to the whole group ofattendees, and with each participant being asked to use three checkmarks to indicatewhat they considered to be the most important transportation needs of the targetpopulations, out of a list drawn from the initial responses to the agency and publicsurveys.Appendix B contains more detailed information about OKI’s outreach efforts and theirresults, including the agency survey and the public survey and summaries of responsesto them; the public meeting agenda; the public meeting sign-in sheet; the feedback fromsmall group discussions at the public meeting; and the public meeting attendees’selection of priority needs.The responses to the surveys and the comments made at the public meeting were veryhelpful in giving OKI a better picture of how transportation for the target populations isprovided; the providers’ interests, potential, and obstacles for making improvements; thelevel of interest in different kinds of transportation for the target populations; theimprovements needed and those most needed. These responses and commentscontributed significantly to OKI’s analysis, reflected in succeeding chapters. Chapter 2 isan inventory of transportation services currently available for the target populations inthe region. Chapter 3 is a description of gaps identified and improvements needed inthese transportation services. Chapter 4 identifies strategies and coordinated actions tomake improvements and fill service gaps, and Chapter 5 identifies priorities forimplementation.Chapter One1-6
OKI Coordinated Public Transit – Human Services Transportation Plan May 20122.1 Regional OverviewChapter 2Targeted Transportation Services in the OKI RegionThe geographic area covered by this plan includes Butler, Clermont, Hamilton andWarren Counties in Ohio and Boone, Campbell and Kenton Counties in Kentucky. All ofthese counties include urbanized area eligible for federal funding under the threeprograms described in Chapter 1: the Specialized Transportation Program (Section5310), the Job Access and Reverse Commute Program (Section 5316) and the NewFreedom Program (Section 5317). The focus of this chapter will be to summarize thetransportation services available to the target populations served by these programs,i.e. older adults, individuals with disabilities, and individuals with low incomes.A network of providers, including both transit providers and social service agencies,make transportation available to the target populations throughout the OKI Region.Transit agencies serve the general public and users from the target populations in everycounty. Social service agencies expand the availability of transportation by servingcertain types of users in certain areas for certain kinds of trips, based on agencymissions. Taxi services and other private providers further expand travel opportunity forthe target populations. The result is that transportation services for the targetpopulations cover a large area in the region but the level and types of service varygreatly.The target populations have different travel options depending on their individualneeds, place of residence, and type of trip and destination. This chapter provides aninventory of the transportation service providers for them. The inventory is based uponagency information updated by OKI in the spring of 2009 and information collectedduring the 2011 outreach efforts described in Chapter 1. While the inventory has somelimitations--some agencies did not participate in the survey, others may have beenmissed during outreach efforts, and still others are located outside OKI’s defined sevencountyplanning area but may provide service to residents within it—it currentlyconstitutes the best available information from which to develop recommendations.Nonetheless, the inventory described in this Chapter will need to be updatedperiodically to remain current and expanded when new agencies are identified.The inventory includes six transit providers, seventeen social service agencies andseven private organizations operating vehicles and providing transportation services tothe target populations. Appendix C includes an agency profile for each transportationservice provider in the inventory. Each profile includes a map of the geographic servicearea involved and characteristics of the provider, including descriptions of agencymissions, types of users served, types and times of services provided, user eligibilityrequirements, and fares. The number of monthly trips provided by each agency is alsoincluded in order to indicate their volume of service.Chapter Two2-1
