Agenda item (List each individually and provide brief overview)
1. Discussion and Possible Action – Review and approval of the April 29, 2023 meeting minutes
Motion by Jeremy, second by Carla, motion carried.
2. BayCo Door2Door-Overview by Pat Daoust/Bay Area Rural Transit
Daoust presented usage data for D2D. One-way trips increased the first e quarters them appeared to level off.
Ridership is most prevalent in the communities of Mason and Cable and Ashland. Linder discussed the need for
medical transportation to Duluth for specialty appointments and procedures, as the current volunteer pool is
unable to address this need. Discussion took place. Consensus was to address the inability to provide this level of
service and not overextend more than the service is currently able to provide. Additional discussion occurred
regarding an increase in the number of service hours for D2D from 50 to 60 hours per week. Linder will be
working on the 85.21 budget n the near future and will determine if it is feasible to fund the local share of D2D.
Another service delivery system using vouchers was discussed. Linder will seek a presenter on how a voucher
system could work for those needing a ride.
3. County Comprehensive Plan-Transportation Section
Committee reviewed the current the Transportation Workgroup Action Recommendations. A recommendation
was to add an additional action item specifically addressing transportation needs of older adults and adults with
disabilities. Linder will draft and send to Dougherty for presentation to the Transportation Comprehensive
Committee.
