Specialized Transportation Assistance Program Application - Review of current projects and 2021 application Carrie reviewed which transportation services are funded by which grants. Beginning in 2021, the TCC will review and approve the Specialized Transportation Assistance Program grant applications. This year, the Aging and Disability Advisory Committee will host the public hearing to review and approve the grant application. Carrie invited the TCC to attend that public hearing on December 7th and will send out the invite. This grant can be used to pay for transportation coordination, transportation services, transportation equipment, transportation reimbursement, administrating transportation studies. This grant requires the county to have a five-year plan; Carrie will send the 2018-2023 plan to the committee for review. Approved at 1/20/21 TCC meeting 2 7. 2018 Bayfield Transportation Survey Results - Review key findings Jenise reviewed the survey results. After reviewing the survey, the committee discussed medical transport; MTM or Inclusa rides are the majority of the rides transportation providers receive requests for. There has been more medical transportation to Hayward, Iron River, and Park Falls recently. The committee also discussed the possibility of expanding transportation services to/from Iron River and to/from the South Shore. It was noted that within Iron River, traveling around town is also difficult for folks. County grants are directed to supporting the elderly and disabled, but BART funds could possibly be used to match the costs associated with riders who are not elderly nor disabled. BART would need a bus to expand transportation to the areas discussed, but they could most likely use a bus that is likely to be retired otherwise. Snow is an issue for community buses/vans. Future Meeting Date Next meeting: January 18th 3:30 – 5 PM Adjournment Motion by Beth, second by Carla to adjourn at 4:57 PM, motion carried. Minutes respectfully submitted by Jenise Swartley.
