ACCESS Operations Plan |
Dear survey participant
In summer 2014, staff from Valley Regional Transit and the transportation firm that manages the bus and ACCESS services in Boise began an analysis of ACCESS paratransit services in the Boise urbanized area to review the current conditions of the services, evaluate areas for improvements in terms of federal compliance and service standards, and to complete an update to the ADA Paratransit Plan for the region.
The project has included a detailed review of service standards and practices, outreach with regional and operations staff supporting ACCESS functions, and a focus group with customers and advocates of customers. Staff is in the process of completing a draft of the service standards and performance metrics that will be tracked against those service standards.
The next step in the process is public outreach with stakeholders, customers, and advocates of ACCESS services. The results from this survey will be analyzed to determine whether changes are needed to the VRT ADA Paratransit Operations Plan. The draft plan is scheduled to go before the VRT Board of Directors at its January 2015 meeting. If approved, the plan will go into effect on February 1, 2015.
