November 30, 2007

1. Introduction

The goal of this plan is to improve coordination of transportation and human services in Coordinated Transit District 15. 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, CTD members were asked to complete inventories and web-based surveys. They were also asked to participate in a transportation planning summit held on May 31st, 2007. 49 of the 313 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 CTD members. All primary stakeholders 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 15.

CTD 15 Coordinated Public Transit-Human Service Plan 6 November 2007

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 Southwest. 15. Map 1 contains the nineteen counties that are included in CTD 15: Greeley, Wichita,Scott, Lane, Ness, Hamilton,Kearny, Finney, Hodgeman,Stanton, Grant, Haskell, Gray,Ford, Morton, Stevens, Seward, Meade, and Clark.

Demographics of CTD 15 by county for Transit Dependent Populations

Over 150,000 people live in the CTD 15 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:

Dodge City Garden City Johnson City Liberal

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 11% of the area’s population was age 65 or older, which was lower 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 4.9%. The poverty rate of


Figure 1 Map of Coordinated Transit District 15

individuals 18 and older was slightly higher in the area (7.3%) than the overall state (6.5%).

3. Inventory of Transportation Providers in CTD

Stakeholder Identification

The CTD members identified 313 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 15 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-six percent of those organizations either attended the Summit or submitted inventories.

All bus companies were invited to attend any and all summits. They were sent an invitation with a list of dates to all summit meetings.


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.

4. Transportation Needs in the CTD

Framework for Action Survey Results

To assess the current level of coordination in CTD 15, over 300 transportation and human service providers were asked to complete an online survey. The Framework for Action: A Self-Assessment Tool for Communities was the survey instrument used. Table 5 provides a summary of the results of the web-based survey.

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 coordination between providers Increase coordination Central Dispatch Keep a central list of “for sale” vehicles that can be purchased by

multiple counties. Partnership with local businesses to buy tickets Create trained business staff to assist in emergencies Partnership with medical facilities that will pay for person's ride if

the person can not afford it More regional communication Documenting services with unmet needs

Improve education and awareness of transportation needs Advertising to inform the public Communicate needs and availability

Expand service Extend hours, including weekend and nights. Be available in all counties Need more handicapped accessibility Transportation for education/college programs need improvement More capacity during regular hours including additional routes and

busses Inter city transportation There needs to be more options in smaller communities Meets clients expectations

Increase training effectiveness Increase bilingual staff More driver education such as sensitivity training

Other factors that would improve coordination More financial support including local, state, and federal Less regulations from federal and state government Should not have to write grants to get state/federal funds but they

DO (written as they wrote it)

Prioritized Transportation Service Needs in CTD 15

4 priorities were developed for work in CTD 15, as follows:


1. Improve coordination between providers, and increase partnerships between transportation providers and partnerships such as businesses and medical facilities.

2. Additional marketing and coordination of existing transportation services in the CTD to improve public knowledge and support of services.

3. Expand transportation service hours for evenings and weekends. 4. Receive more financial and administrative support from KDOT and

federal DOT.

Please R.S.V.P to Amanda Nufer by May 14, 2007 to allow us to plan for lunch.

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 our 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 19-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 May 17, 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 May 14, 2007 by calling me at 620-227-8803 or emailing [email protected]. We look forward to seeing you on May 31st in Garden City.

You also are asked to complete an online survey which will help identify priorities for transportation needs in our area. Please go to http://www.ksunitedweride.org. Look under “What’s New” for the Framework for Action for our CTD. Click on the link to go to a survey that will take approximately 5-10 minutes to complete. 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. Please complete this survey by May 24, 2007.

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

Sincerely,

Amanda NuferAdministrator, Southwest Kansas Regional Coordinated Transit District
