Attachment A <br />RASP conducts annual surveys of riders; however, to our knowledge, no community surveys of potential riders have <br />been conducted. Our contact stated that information on requests for transportation services that could not be <br />accommodated are collected; however we did not have an opportunity to gather data on this program facet. <br />In addition to RASP transportation services, Roseville area residents may be eligible for services provided by Metro <br />Mobility, Metro Transit, and other services — based on their financial and medical situation. <br />Existing transportation services to elderly, disabled and impoverished citizens in MN are fragmented, and those in <br />need of such services are often unable to locate them in an efficient and effective manner. Some senior housing sites <br />offer limited transportation to residents. <br />See: http://www.coordinatemntransit.or�/directories/index.html and <br />http://www.coordinatemntransit.or�/resources/index.html <br />Desired State <br />Collaboration among RASP, Metro Mobility/Metro Transit and other organizations and government <br />agencies, to better define gaps and optimize resources that will address both present and anticipated gaps. <br />Rationale <br />With our aging population and the planned construction of additional senior housing in Roseville, the <br />emerging needs will widen current gaps in transportation service availability. Further challenges are posed <br />by segments of Roseville's population that have emigrated from nations around the world, and whose <br />members face difficulties in speaking and reading English, as well as potential cultural aspects that require <br />program adjustment. <br />Key Action Items <br />Establish connections with the Regional Transportation Coordination Council for the Roseville area, which <br />is working toward the desired state referenced above. See: <br />http://www.coordinatemntransit.or�/events/index.html. <br />Also, publish current information relative to the availability, cost and "user friendliness" of alternative <br />transportation options — in a manner that users find easy to access and use. <br />Resource Needs <br />Access to communication channels (Roseville City publications and web pages), potential sponsorship of <br />additional reimbursements for volunteer and school district-supplied transportation services, and perhaps <br />others. <br />Commitments <br />To be determined <br />Prepared by Mark Nichols 10/25/15 <br />Appended by Sara Barsel 11/8.15 <br />
