CTD 14 Coordinated Public Transit-Human Service Plan 4 November 2007

Coordinated Transit District 14Coordinated Public Transit-Human Service

Plan(Rush, Barton, Pawnee, Stafford, Edwards, Pratt, Kiowa,

Comanche, and Barber Counties)

November 30, 2007

1. Introduction

The goal of this plan is to improve coordination of transportation and human services in Coordinated Transit District 14. It also fulfills the federal planning requirements of SAFETEA-LU which consist of the following:

A unified, comprehensive strategy for public transportation service delivery;

Identifies transportation needs of individuals with disabilities, older adults, and individuals with limited incomes;

Lays out strategies for meeting those needs; and Prioritizes services.

To complete the plan, stakeholders were asked to complete inventories and web-based surveys. They were also asked to participate in a transportation planning summit held on April 10, 2007. 24 of the 171 people invited participated in the summit.

By the end of the summit, a draft action plan was completed. A coordinated public transit-human service transportation plan was developed based on data and input received from summit stakeholders. All CTD members were given the opportunity to comment on the action plan before it was finalized to be included in this report.

This plan addresses transit coordination priorities for the period from July 1, 2007 through June 30, 2010, but may be updated periodically to meet developing needs in the communities of Coordinated Transit District 14.


2. Description of Service Area

Counties included in CTD.

In Kansas, there are 15 Coordinated Transit Districts (CTDs). Each CTD is responsible for coordinating public transit within their service area and membership consists of recipients of public and human service transit funds from the Kansas Department of Transportation. The CTD is located in the area of the state West Central. 14. Map 1 contains the nine counties that are included in CTD 14: Rush, Barton, Pawnee, Stafford, Edwards, Pratt, Kiowa, Comanche, and Barber.

Demographics of CTD 14 by county for Transit Dependent Populations

Almost 65,403 people live in the CTD 14 service area. Figure 2 provides the population density of the area by number of persons living in each square mile. The areas surrounding the following towns have the highest population densities:

Great Bend Kinsley Larned La Crosse Pratt

Specialized transportation funds are targeted to individuals that are more likely to be transportation disadvantaged. Groups included in this category are older adults and individuals with disabilities, and individuals with incomes below the poverty level. Over 19.6% of the area’s population was age 65 or older, which was higher than the state’s overall rate of 13%. However, the rate of individuals with a go-outside-of-home disability was consistent with the state at 6.1%. The poverty rate of individuals 18 and older was slightly higher in the area (7.4%) than the overall state (6.5%).

3. Inventory of Transportation Providers in CTD

Stakeholder Identification

The CTD members identified 171 organizations that would be impacted by the Coordinated Plan. Human service providers represented the highest percentage of the stakeholder organizations. This is not surprising because there are many human service providers in CTD 14 whose clients rely on public transportation, and as a result these providers often have to coordinate their services with transit providers.

Each organization was invited to the Transportation Summit, as well as asked to either complete a transportation inventory and/or a human service provider inventory. Twenty-two percent of those organizations either attended the Summit or submitted inventories.

Intercity Bus

There is no intercity bus service in the CTD 14. The nearest intercity bus stops are in Wichita. Figure 5 illustrates intercity bus routes nearest to CTD 14.

Figure 5: Intercity Bus Routes

Four intercity bus companies, Jefferson Lines, American Bus Association, Autobuses Los Paisanos, and El Conejo Bus Lines, were invited to attend or comment on the CTD’s plans at the Transportation Summit on April 10th, 2007. None attended.


Emergency Preparedness and Response Plans (Transportation)

Transportation planning and coordinating the needs of vulnerable populations can significantly contribute to the success of emergency responses. The following groups require special consideration when preparing evacuation plans: the transportation dependent population; the population residing in nursing, assisted living, or other residential facilities; and hospital patients.

Two local emergency planning officials were invited to the transportation summit, which included:

Amy Miller, Barton County Emergency ManagementJames Fisher, Rush County Emergency Prepardness

Both invited officials attended the summit:

Service Gaps: What do we need to do better?


During the summit, each sub-group was asked to assess whether the current transportation system is meeting communities expectations. They were asked to create a list of “What do we need to do better?” Below is a summary of their comments.

Improve education and awareness of transportation needsBetter and more advertising of services

Improve coordination between providersStandardized plans for all providers-same needs being met across the board.

Expand serviceIndividual lift serviceWeekends/extended hoursMedical /long distance tripsStatewide Access

Highland Hotel – 3017 10 th St., Great Bend Kansas Hosted by the

West Central Kansas Coordinated Transit District(Barton,Barber,Pawnee,Stafford,Edwards,Comanche,Rush, Pratt)

In August 2005, Congress passed the SAFE, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient, Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU), reauthorizing funding for transportation services. As part of this reauthorization, agencies receiving funds for public and specialized transportation services must meet certain planning requirements.

One requirement of receiving funding is that projects must be part of a “locally developed coordinated public transit-human services transportation plan.” This plan must be developed through a process that includes representatives of public, private, and non-profit transportation services, human services providers and the general public.

You have been identified as representing an agency with an interest in mobility needs for people living in this 8-county service area. You are invited to participate in a transportation summit to help improve services to help us make sure that we target transportation resources to the right services and deliver them as efficiently as possible by working with the other service agencies in our communities.

The planning process requires an inventory of all of the transportation human service providers in our region. Please complete the enclosed inventory and return it to me before March 14, 2007 in the self-addressed stamped envelope. At the meeting we will review the inventory and complete an assessment of human services transportation coordination services within our area and an action plan for steps to improve coordination efforts.

Please RSVP to this meeting invitation on or before March 14, 2007 by calling me at (620)792-1321 , emailing @ [email protected] (be sure and put CTD Meeting in the subject line) or including your RSVP when you return your survey. We look forward to seeing you on April 10, 2007 in Great Bend.

You also will be asked to complete an online survey. Approximately March 21st, we will send an email with a link to an online survey. We would greatly appreciate it if you would take the time to respond to that survey to help us in the work that will be done at the transportation summit.

Thank you for your time and assistance in this important process.
