A wide variety of modes were reported, with RASP accounting for only three percent. A number of those surveyed responded, indicating that clearance of ice and snow from sidewalks and streets presented significant challenges, in terms of gaining safe access to bus and other transportation services. RASP currently provides bus services in the local area with one bus, which can transport eight passengers in bench seats, and two wheelchair spaces. It operates Monday-Friday, 8 am to 4pm, and destinations include medical offices, banks, shopping and recreation, within the RASP service area. A medical ride service, offered by volunteers who use their own cars, is limited to one ride per week, Monday-Friday, 8:30 am to 3:30 pm. There are 16 to 18 volunteer drivers, and the total number of hours devoted to the program by volunteer drivers is approximately 700 to 1,000 hours, per year. Fees for the transportation program are based on a sliding scale linked to income; however, no one is turned away, should they not have the funds to pay the established fee. Reservations are required, seven days in advance, and standing orders are accepted. Riders must be 60 years of age, or be a certified disabled adult. They must live in the service area, and must be able to use the service with minimal assistance.
