During the years, 1976 to 1979 transportation services were increased to include Summer Migrant/Head Start, the Senior Nutrition Program of the Area Agency on Aging, and Welfare Diversion Program(currently the TANF (Temperary Aid to Needy Families)with the Employment Services Unit. Between the years 1983 and 1988 the ridership doubled and service miles tripled. Year 1990 was the first year WCDHS Transportation Department was awarded the FTA Section 18 funds. The funds were used to increase services to the general public in rural areas of Weld County. Year 1997 the PTMS (Para Transit Management System) software program became fully operational. Client data, driver manifests and program reports were generated quickly and efficiently with the computer program. The Transportation Department moved to the present location, a larger,newer facility with storage room at which time the Head Start and Senior Nutrition inv-cntory grew tc 4400+square feet area utilizing the capabilities of the transportation department to a delivery system for the other programs serviced by the transportation department. October, 2002 the County Social Services contracted the Transportation department to be the Weld County"Broker" for the State non-emergent program. We currently have 6 providers in the area to whom we"broker"the Medicaid clients. 3. Number and Classification of Employees-- In May 1999 the Weld County Board of Commissioners approved a reorganization plan to the Transportation Department. The Transportation System has an Executive Director, a full time Transit System Administrator, a full time Operations Coordinator, 2 full time Dispatchers, a part time position of Supply Specialist, 1 full time bus driver, and 26 part time drivers, working various hours.WCDHS vehicles are included under a single maintenance contract to maintain all the Weld County Vehicles. Mechanics are assigned to service the vehicles from the pool of mechanics. Office support is provided from the Human Services office for administrative, secretarial,personnel and fiscal support. The County Commissioners are supportive, as well as many other departments in the organization, such as the Departments of Health, Social Services, Sheriff Department,Buildings and Grounds, Airport Services, Clerk and Recorders Office, Accounting,Fleet Maintenance,Paramedic Services, and Security. B. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICE 1. Boundaries --We provide transportation services to the elderly, disabled,low income and general public patrons of Weld County. Clients living in Weld County or clients living out of the county boundaries, needing services to Weld County, are using the services to go to Doctor appointments,Medical facilities, programs of support for citizens needing financial/Human Services support, Children programs, including APPLICATION FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE 2004/2005 Page 10 a Head Start and Migrant Head Start and the pre-school day care centers,non-medical and non-emergent Medicaid, and trips provided for shopping and other destinations deemed necessary by the previous identified clients. All Weld County has the potential of transportation services,the extreme north-east areas served less frequent cue to the sparsely populated area. Destination areas include Denver, Larimer, Boulder,Adams, Arapahoe and Morgan counties. 2. Hours—The Transit System is open five days per week, 52 weeks per year. Hours vary per season. During the summer, the routes begin as early as 4:00 a.m. and end routes as late as 8:30 p.m. In the non summer seasons,routes usually start around 5:00 am. and end around 6:30 p.m. Special requests for services,may be ran other than scheduled time, including weekends. The average number of routes per day may be no less than 160 routes and an additional 30 or more one-on-one trips. The office hours are one hour before drivers arrive and continue additional time after the last drivers checks out at the end of the day. Radio staff remains on duty whenever a driver is on the road. Office staff receives re- corded messages and forwards verbal PARs (Prior Authorization Request) to Provider, as needed,using automated telephone system from personal telephones when office is closed. Messages are checked regular basis. One week in March and the two week period around Christmas, are quiet times, utilizing 15 part time drivers and up to 20 units, and all others seasons find us utilizing 26 part time drivers and up to 31 vehicles per day. Mondays are set aside for high mileage trips. We have 3 back-up vehicles some w/c's, some regular. 3. Vehicle Awareness--External decals are located on each front door.

Near the back of the units,both right and left sides,the wording"Weld County Transportation Department" and the telephone numbers are written on the units. The 2 digit unit number is on the front fenders,near the windshield and on the back right corner of the units. Nearly all vehicles have the "Transit Arrow" decal in the back window, showing support for the C-DOT finding. 4. Marketing—Marketing of the program occurs at the Human Service levels, Long Term Coordinating Committee(meets monthly), the Human Services Committee(meets every other month), Senior Aide Coordinators (meets monthly)and the North Front Range Transit Committee(meets monthly).

The majority of riders are categorized as special populations which includes children,youth,unemployed in training,physically and mentally disabled and the elderly. The general public is welcome to use our system,routes supported in part by Section 5311 funds. The availability of this service is communicated through newsletters,network meetings and the Transportation brochure. 1 APPLICATION FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE 2004/2005 C. Proposed Project Page 10 b The Grantee operates a demand response and modified demand response system(term used to describe regular routes to rural towns which are built around a call-in system to a local contact person) for the residents of Weld County excluding the City of Greeley. This service is available to both incorporated and unincorporated areas of the county. This Service shall be available to the general public with a significant number of ridership comprised of elderly,disabled, and low income individuals. 1.

Increased services--We require all clients call two working days in advance of a necessary ride, if the ride is in our general service area. If the client has a high mileage trip, that request must be made 3-4 working days in advance of the appointment. The initial call from the client(or designee)will give information necessary to database the ride. Name, address,date of birth, Social Security number or current Medicaid number, address of the destination, appointment times, escort service needed, and the need for special equipment, such as wheelchair, car seat, scooter,blind services, service animals or special disabled services are needed will be listed at that time. We will increase number of rides,because of additional vans and operating money. We have a total number of 11 wheel-chair-equipped vans,ramp or lift type, in our fleet. Nearly all drivers are qualified to operate any van in the fleet. We keep 3 wheel-chair vans on back-up call to assure we will not schedule so tight as to have clients waiting long periods of time for their rides. Rarely do we have more than 7 wheel-chair vans out at any given time. We have several different type vans (5) for wheel- chair clients ranging from ramps,kneelers, lifts, and heavy duty lifts. 3. N/A 4. We do not deny services based on any disability. Our denial list(very limited) is created because the lack of appropriate notice of an appointment. We have a very good supply of wheel chair drivers and wheel- chair equipped vans,however we do not have the availability to send a driver without appropriate notice as we work from a specialized schedule. If we can arrange a pickup/return time frame whereas a client can be a little flexible with us, we will certainly move in that direction. Often time restraints are not workable with the client and/or us and a new appointment must be scheduled. Each of the daily route listed above are covered with a non-wheel chair unit unless a call has been recorded that a wheel chair van is needed. We feel if we arbitrarily send a wheel chair unit to a specified location, identified as a regular rural stop and a wheel chair van is not needed, it would certainly be a injustice to a clients who has made previous arrangements to assure his ride. The area we serve on a daily,weekly, monthly basis is classified as a"fixed route" service. A telephone call to request special arrangements to the same stop will thus be defined as a "modified demand responsive" system. 5. We provide (DDC)Defensive Driving classes, (PAT) Passenger Assistance Techniques, First Aide and CPR classes. We train within Weld County for all classes except the First Aid/CPR training which is completed by the Local Chapter of American Red Cross. Classes are completed one time per year,mini training classes are conducted by videos during the year. We record the driver's classes and accomplishments on our Performance Now program on the computer. Daily notices, safety reminders, thoughts for the day and accolades are posted in the training room daily. APPLICATION FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE 2004/2005 COORDINATION OF SERVICE All APPLICANTS Pagell The WCDHS Transit System has been designed to minimize duplication of service. Vehicles are used for all programs within the realm of Human Services. No one program has ownership of a unit,nor can set up a total monopoly with any unit. Schedules are prepared based on the most cost efficient manner of providing the service. The result is a single transportation fleet serves Head Start, Migrant Head Start, Senior nutrition, the Elderly and Disabled of rural Weld county(the Mini-Bus Program),the TANF Program, Supplemental Foods, and Youth (Americorp)Program. Listed below are specific program examples of our transit coordination: Head Start—Head Start transportation was integrated with the Mini-Bus program in 1975. Both were in-house programs under Human Services. Before the merge, Mini-Bus had 3 vans(2 regular and 1 W/C equipped)and Head Start had 5 vans. We were able to utilize the Head Start drivers as well as the vans and we saw an Immediate increase of elderly,disabled and low income rides being processed. antra-Agency agreement) Migrant Head Start—Before the agreement between Head Start and Mini-Bus, there was another transportation bus system who delivered the Migrant children. It became apparent to our department, some changes with the existing programs would be beneficial to both group's. We added the Migrant Transportation and were able to use the same drivers and equipment as the Head Start when it was in session. Regular Head Start is an eight and a half month program(October-May) and the Migrant Program primarily ran June,July, August and September. Weld Count; has the Region Migrant Programs, encompassing the Northern Front Range and the North Western State area in and near Grand Junction. We subcontract with a Transit System from Grand Junction to transport all Migrant children in the Grand Junction and surrounding areas for ten months out of the year. Such an arrangement minimizes statewide administrative overhead to move Migrant Head Start. antra-Agency agreement) (Contract for Services-- Grand Junction Transit) Colorado Preschool—This service was started in February of 1990. We currently have two locations for this program. The children attending these classrooms are transported with the regular Head Start children, TANF clients, and Minibus clients. Several contracts are in place with local school districts for the Preschool program. antra-Agency agreement) Employment Services—Beginning in 1990 the Transportation Program has provided services to clients of several Employment and training programs of Weld County Employment Services Division by transporting clients to workshops and job sites. The clients children are delivered to Daycare Centers before the clients are scheduled to be delivered to their workshop or class. This encompasses Welfare to Work, TANF and TANF Summer Youth clients and families. antra-Agency agreement) APPLICATION FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE 2004/2005 Page l la City of Greeley (THE BUS)—The City a Greeley provides a door to door service to ADA clients in the Greeley and Evans boundries, defined as the fixed route service area. Weld County Transportation provides temporary services to clients while they are being screened and qualified for the city Para-Transit services. The City of Greeley Transit System Superintendent, John Lee, is a member of the Human Service Transit Advisory Board. Senior Nutrition Program—Annually, the Weld County Transit System delivers approximately 75,000 meals to 23 sites throughout Weld County. Some "home delivered"meals are delivered by the transportation driver. In the coordination realm,the Nutrition driver may be scheduled to transport clients from the Nutrition areas into Greeley thus utilizing a driver in the area,rather than sending a separate driver from Greeley,on the return trip with the nutrition trays to the U.N.C.(University of Northern Colorado) food dock. (Intra-Agency agreement) Mail routes—In the fall of 2002, a County Complex was build and began operations in the Del Camino area. We have a daily mail run from there and the Fort Lupton annex to and from Greeley Centennial Center. Several departments utilize the system to transport daily hard copies of transactions in the three areas. (Intra-Governmental agreement) Social Services—September 2002, we obtained a contract with Weld County Social Services,to provide transportation services to cl•ents needing services in Greeley and other areas of Colorado. The trips are primarily designed to cover Court ordered trips and Special Needs of Social Services clients. (Intra-Governmental agreement) Broker System for Social Services Medicaid Non-Emergent Transportation—October, 2002 the Brokerage system was given to Weld County Transportation System. We broker the actual trips,but supply the administrative time to do PARs and finding a provider for the trip. State funding appears to have been drastically reduced and the program may move to a much lesser scale using administrative time. Coordination efforts have been very slow to attain. Major stumbling blocks have been 1)the level of personal service given to clients in previous times. The clients are accustomed to going on a one-on-one trip and always at the time they requested. We are beginning to group some requests and asking the.clients to rearrange (or give us permission to reschedule) their appointments. We will be able to show coordination of routes in a geographical order to save mileage. /mother stumbling block is 2)the lack of enforcement to encourage coordination and 3)the fear of State H.H.S. does not have a firm set of rules to apply the regulations or criteria, whereas,we anticipate clients calling"state"when we attempt to coordinate appointments or requests having the state override our efforts on client transportation. An absolute set of criteria for Medicaid Transportation must be written and adhered to as quickly as possible. A system must be enforced to reduce the cost of Medicaid Transportation. The final concern is 4)a broker system should not have the responsibility of enforcement of any program if the program has been negligent in setting and enforcing regulations. (Intra-Governmental agreement) APPLICATION FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE 2004/2005 SERVICE JUSTIFICATION ALL APPLICANTS Page 12 TRIP DESTINATION-DEMAND RESPONSE The following percentages are 2003 numbers Trip Category Percent of Total Medical 12 % elderly, disabled, general public Nutrition 1 % clients to senior meal sites Employ/Education 77 % includes children programs, TANF, Youth Shopping 8 % primarily well elderly and general public Social/recreation 2 % includes, elderly, disabled, general public A. Need for Transit Services It is the goal of the Weld County Transit System to have a high degree of transportation services available to rural areas. This includes the needs of the elderly, disabled and general public. Surveys in recent years indicate demands are rising for 1)transportation, 2)home health care, 3) low income housing in Weld County. Wheel- chair services remains a documented need. Our plan, with additional financial resources,will be to expand the services to additional rural areas and increase number of days for transportation services in area of current services. Weld County encompasses 4004 square miles. It is the third largest county in the nation....as large as the State of Connecticut. There are high percentages of 60 plus seniors in many of the small communities and unincorporated scattered throughout the county. Many clients live in areas, well over an hour of driving time, from Greeley or the service area nearest to their homes. There are many area in the county whose citizens experience isolation and feel frustration with transportation needs. We have limited systems within our county to supply all transportation needs. Our population is growing older and experience a wide variety of concerns for traveling from their homes to the destinations of need, in their own vehicles, including safety on the highways and streets with increased traffic, the growth in the urban areas, and the very price of fuel and insurance to use or even own a private vehicle. Volunteers are often used in rural areas to increase the coverage of necessary trips for other patrons in their own areas,however, again our population is getting older, the price of fuel and insurance for the vehicles are the concerns facing the potential volunteers. Human Services uses a small portion of the CSBG grant to reimburse our rural volunteers to help cover this expense. Our aging population is less likely to continue this service for the same reason the clients are unable to use their own means. It is very difficult to recruit younger volunteers,we are a working society and are unable to commit or reluctant to make regular commitments for services. We continue to hear the safety concerns—safety to themselves and for folks riding with them—while we continue to recruit volunteers. Platteville,Windsor and Ft. Lupton have a van in each area,purchased by private,local, and special interest groups but are limited in the transportation area. All areas are very limited and have a very limited criteria as to ridership. Most supply rides for Doctor's appointments, Senior Nutrition sites or shopping on a very small scale. None of the above mentioned are open to general public needs. It is our goal to increase the public demand response capabilities by 10 % over the next two years. We continue to seek the best way to get a Fare system implemented for our system. We plan to have a system in place by the end of 2003 to help generate additional funding for additional services. We are planning to use the Senior Coordinators, all ready in place with the AAA and Senior Nutrition programs, Head Start Coordinators, also in place with existing programs and we have contacted several local government entities to work with us to better serve the general public. l — APPLICATION FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE 2004/2005 FINANCIAL JUSTIFICATION PAGE 13 A. On Page 2, Table B, our revenues equal our expenditures. This equality can only happen with the addition of the FTA funding. FTA is the only source of funding in our agency to provide services to the rural, general public who need transportation. FTA is a huge piece of funding for senior minibus service over our 4004 square mile County. Without FTA funds, both services would either be eliminated or very limited. There would be no other sources of revenue to take the place of the FTA funding, and service demands in both these sectors are increasing. Our agency has worked to capitalize on as many revenue resources as we can, and minimize expenditure where we can, but resources in this area are tight and without FTA assistance, services would be cut back. B. FISCAL RESOURCES OF APPLICANT. 1) Medicaid—Weld County Transportation (WCT)has provided non-medical transportation for the Home& Community Based Services (HCBS)for several years and bills the state for reimbursement of those services. In October of 2002, Weld County Transportation (WCT)was chosen as the State Designated Entity for the County to broker the Medicaid non-emergent medical transportation for the County. Social Services contracts with WCT to provide those services. With current State budget cuts,this source of funding is very,very unstable. 2) Title III of the Older Americans Act(OAA)---WCT has an intra-agency agreement with Weld County Area Agency on Aging(WCAAA)to transport the senior congregate meals(75,000 annually)from the meal provider to all of the 23 senior sites around the County. The OAA C-1 Congregate meals part of the Title III grant,reimburses WCT the break even cost for that service. Funding in this area has been stable with little increase in revenue to just match the increase in cost. 3) United Way---Not a source of funding for transportation in Weld County. 4) Other--- Head Start/Migrant Head Start—WCT has an intra-agency agreement to transport the program children to the 13 sites around the County. Costs for the Service are reimbursed at a break even rate. This is the largest source of funding and service provided by WCT. State Preschool---This project flows through the Head Start program and children are transported to the head start sites and billed through the intra-agency agreement. Funds are reimbursed from the per pupil operating rate(PPOR)received to Head Start from the school districts and paid to WCT at a break even rate on cost. Community Services Block Grant(CSBG)---This grant provides partial funding for senior minibus services. This is also an intra-agency agreement with Area Agency on Aging and provides senior transportation all over the rural County. The cost is reimbursed at a break even rate from the grant. This service is supplemented by the FTA 5311 funds. Only half the current service would be available if the FTA 5311 funds were not awarded. This grant also allocates to WELDCOS (rural senior coordinators)funds to reimburse volunteer drivers at 34 cents per mile. AmeriCorp---This is an infra-agency agreement with the Corp to provide van use for transport to projects and training. Cost is reimbursed to WCT at a break even rate. APPLICATION FOR FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE 2004/2005 FINANCIAL JUSTIFICATION PAGE 13 a 5) Temporary Assistance to Needy Families(TANF) and Welfare to Work(WTW)----The transportation department has an interagency agreement with Employment Services of Weld County via a contract with Social services to provide transportation to clients of both programs for employment, training and child care needs. The costs are reimbursed at break even rates. Welds' WTW funding will terminate by the end of 2003. State budget cuts may also affect the TANF funding after 7/1/2003. 6) County Government---Weld County Government provides general revenue funding for capital van purchases and match for 5310 capital purchases. Weld County also provides in kind of donated transportation office and parking space(for vans), and major fuel discounts. Weld County also allocates funds to the Senior Sites and although these funds do not go directly to transportation, Senior coordinators working from their respective centers ,are the local schedulers for transportation requests to WCT. 7) Senior Sites--See Title III, Community Services Block grant and County Government. 8) Foundations--Foundation funding for transportation is not available at this time. 9) City governments----Since WCT is a part of the County government system, it probably would be odd to be funded by the City. However, Americorp does have a major contract with the City of Greeley and the funding that is used to pay for transportation may be derived via city revenue. C. REVENUES AND CONTRACT RESOURCES 1. Fares or donations---It has taken considerable time to find an efficient, fair and safe way to implement the collection of fares on our public routes. We will continue working on completion of the process. In the mean time, we are emphasizing income from all other available resources. 2. Transport for organizations---Other than those listed in section B., WCT will accept requests from any organization and if scheduling will allow, WCT will provide the service. The rate of reimbursement is usually set on the current per mile cost for that current quarter. D. FISCAL AND MANAGERIAL CAPABILITY 1. Weld County Dept. of Human Services falls under the requirements of the Single Audit Act and is audited annually as part of the annual audit of Weld County Government. 2. The Weld County Banner Financial system allows for each grant to be designated as a separate fund in the accounting system. Within that fund,costs can be separated by program codes to match the reporting requirements of each grant. That means in the ledger,FTA grant will have its own fund and under it,the codes will separate out admin, operating and capital expenditures to match the report. 3. WCT does have a formal vehicle maintenance program set up with Weld County motor pool. Documentation is provided and attached. PATSY Drewer- PM SCHEDULEils Page 1 1 SKE Support Services, Inc.
