Appendix B - Survey Results From <strong>Transportation</strong> Operator Agencies<strong>Public</strong> Survey of Specialized <strong>Transportation</strong> Service User NeedsQuestion 667 RTA is often over booked and can't keep up with the demandDoes not ahve a regualr route throughout the county that is68 affordable69 Hours and Routes are not accommodating to most.70 Nothing available, on weekends, except taxi.71It would be more beneficial if the routes included extendedevening services.72Warren Co. <strong>Transit</strong> seems to run primarily on "routes" andtherefore the times often don't meet the needs of our folks(typically when we (staff of WCBDD) call to requesttransportation they tell us they can't do it but this last time theywere able to work something out). I've often received feedbackfrom our individuals stating transit isn't reliable for getting youto your destination on time which is a huge problem when youare going to work. Also, the hours transit runs are VERYlimited.Metro s Access system is poorly managed and as a result is areal disservice to the disabled people in this area. To start,Metro has the attitude that they are doing disabled people a"favor" by offering this service. Do they not realize that peopledon't want to be disabled and would much rather not have touse this service? The guarantee that someone will be home in 2hours is a joke. The routes that are mapped out don't makesense and you have a disabled person riding around in a van(not a very smooth ride) for two hours while drivers go backand forth across town instead of taking a route that actuallymakes sense. You have a "window" of when you will be pickedup which requires people to stand in the cold/rain/heat/darkwaiting for their ride. This can be dangerous for many disabledpeople. A simple solution to this would be a phone call orknock on the door when they arrive. Again, this is done in othercities. First <strong>Transit</strong> operates the para transit system in PortlandOR and they are based in Cincinnati. Why are things so73 different in Cincinnati?74 No stops in BethelAppendix B B-43
