It all goes to 'pot' when there is no reliable oradequate transportation.30Warren County is in desperate need of a public transportation system. I have been acaseworker in this county since 2003 and the populations I have served struggle w/ lack oftransportation options in this growing county.31 Really, everything about the public transportation system needs to improve.32 My needs are metI think that a bus that would run along the Ronald Regan would be great - I understand thehub idea - but to get from Clermont County to the University area/Uptown area - first youhave to go downtown and then connect to a bus to the UC/Uptown area.I can drive for about 20 minutes and catch a direct bus to the Uptown area - but that seemsmore difficult.33I love the transit in Chicago - where you can hop a bus and a train and never stop movingfor an hour and arrive with a minimum of effort any where you want.34it would be helpful to be able to transfer between Butler Cty and Hamilton Cty for those ofus on the border or for those many people that live in Butler and work in Hamilton CtySomeone would need to understand how to communicate with my son- I would need a35 regular driver- the same driver daily.36 Be on time.37 As I do not use the service I cannot critque it38We have a variety of transportation options in our area but the big issue is the affordabilityof it. For example--I have an individual that lives and works in Lebanon that UTS quoted us$24 to transport the 2.1 miles from work to home. A private provider has ended up doingthe service but they still charge $19.90. I would like for someone like this to be able to usetransit but I was told they were not able to provide the service for this individual (that is--they couldn't get them there are at the right time/picked up at the right time). Also, UTS isthe main "taxi service" for most of our community employed folks and they jack up the priceeven higher if it is outside the county line. For folks in wheelchairs--the prices are even hirethan for ambulatory folks and the options are very limited for them.39I live on a fixed income, and it is difficult for me to afford Ramp's fare especially since it isincreasing.. There should be some kind of aid for Handicapped riders. Discounted faresshould cover Handicapped riders. It should be taken into consideration that we live on SSI,and do not make regular salaries.40At this time Senior Services is doing an excellent job with transportation to and fromworkshopAppendix B B-58
