Weld County/Larimer County/Boulder County coordinating council meeting has been rescheduled to February 25th from 1-3:30pm in Berthod Town Hall. Angel will be sending out carpool sign ups closer to the date.
Sarah Lee updated on the Access Ride Passenger Advisory Committee (APAC) and proposed changes to Access on Demand.
The discussion highlighted the high demand for wheelchair-accessible vehicles (WAVs), with the current fleet fully booked and no spares available if a vehicle goes out of service. Procuring additional WAVs is challenging due to their high cost, limited availability, and shrinking interior space in newer models, which raises accessibility concerns. The scarcity of minivans, both accessible and non-accessible, further complicates the situation. WAV drivers are operating at maximum capacity, and scheduling efforts are focused on meeting the growing demand. Dani confirmed that feedback on these challenges has been shared with the civil rights team at RTD
Angel presented Mobility for All’s achievements over the past year, including outreach events, education workshops, and bike programming. The meeting concluded with updates from various organizations and a discussion on potential agenda items for future meetings.
Mobility for All will be doing a travel training “Train the Trainer” training sometime in January
Corey mentioned launching the RTD’s coordination project connecting call centers with scheduling systems for three volunteer providers in Northern Colorado.
Bobby mentioned launching a new car and EV in Superior and planning to add another EV in Longmont.
Lindsay mentioned preparing for the next administration and monitoring the reauthorization of the Older Americans Act, which affects funding for various programs including transportation.
