Community Information – Transportation Survey
As most of you know, major reductions in public transportation services have occurred in Pierce County. As a result of the current economic downturn Pierce Transit has been forced to make a 35% overall reduction in service in order to stay financially viable. Many of our friends, neighbors and clients have lost the ability to access employment, medical appointments, shopping, and the ability to meet their basic needs because of the loss of public transportation.
The Pierce County Coordinated Transportation Coalition (PCCTC) is working to develop some new ideas for community solutions to meet the transportation needs of older adults, individuals with disabilities and people with low incomes. Seeking solutions for these kinds of problems requires involvement from many; no one person or governmental agency can solve this problem. We must come together and find a way to provide needed services in our community.
We need help from everyone to determine the transportation needs in our community. We are asking you to do two things:
1)
Help us get as much response to the survey as possible.
a.
Riders Survey:
http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/YTNV55J ;
b.
Please respond by July 17th if possible; by October 15th at the latest
2)
Attend the next PCCTC meetings at 9:30 am on Friday, July 13th and Friday, July 20th at Pierce County Community Connections, 3602 Tacoma Ave, Tacoma- Conference Room A.
Thank you. Marge Tully, Transportation Coordinator, Pierce County Community Connections: www.piercecountyrides.com; (253) 798-7658.
