BOARD MEMORANDUM

TO: Committee for Transit Accessibility
 Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority
 Board of Directors
  
THROUGH:Michael T. Burns
 General Manager
  
FROM:Donald A. Smith, Jr.
 Chief Operating Officer
  
SUBJECT: Motion Tracking Report Update

FOR DISCUSSION ONLY

BACKGROUND:

The Committee for Transit Accessibility (CTA) requested that their motion tracking report be added to the agenda as a standing item.  Due to the size of the document, CTA members asked that the form be separated into motions that are current and archived motions.  Staff separated the document; both forms are included for CTA review.  The current motion tracking form was updated based on motions passed at the November 7, 2007 CTA meeting.  CTA members also requested that both the current and archived motion tracking reports be included in their monthly agenda packets.

DISCUSSION:

The following items from the November 7, 2007 CTA meeting have been added to the report:

  • M/S/C (Eljas/Morrow) to recommend that the CTA support Option 1 which is to continue the existing policy and practice to conform to ADA paratransit service area and charge a Service Area Surcharge for trips originating or ending outside the service area.   Affected customers would be given a 90 day grace period from January 14, 2008, before paying the surcharge.
  • M/S/C (Morrow/Grant) to recommend that the Hay Group give a presentation to the CTA regarding the reorganization and the Accessible Services Department.
  • M/S/C (Grant/Stahl) to recommend that the CTA support the position of the San Jose DAC regarding the elimination of route 85.

Attachment 1: Current Summary of CTA Motions from January 2007 to November 2007

Attachment 2: Summary of Archived CTA Motions from March 2005 to December 2006
