Notes de l'éditeur
- Next Slide: Family of Services & Ridership
- Ridership numbers alone should tell you why Laketran is in need of travel training – down 20% due to 2009 service cuts/fare increase Budget is tight and we need to begin transitioning DAR riders to LFR 2005-Dial-a-Ride is branded as own agencies when first began - we need to educate on LFR Next Slide: Initial Goals of TT
- Always assumed & encourage pwd to use Dial-a-Ride; instead of the least restrictive mode of transportation Added - Ramps, Call Out Stops, Color-coded routes, accessible bus stops/shelters, better driver training – did a lot of work internally; but we needed to reach out and educate pwd on How to Ride Bus Familiarizations @ Libraries- handed out coupons to measure follow-up – no immediate return on investment. First attempt– Maintaining Mobility Next Slide: Challenges
- Target demographic wasn’t working- Seniors aren’t very interested Next Slide: NF with New Focus
- Define Functional – attain a goal Change Target Market to students w/disabilities, next generation of riders, and MH population Assessment Tool – Use it just like you would a strategic plan– include SWOT – then create a plan/goals Then you can measure your success, too!
- Three ways to get into schools Curriculum – Special Needs Teachers are swamped. Can’t teach it all. Provide a curriculum and they’ll bite! IEP – only need one student to have transportation in their IEP Indicators -
- Meet standards: Fares – math lesson; public safety– talking to strangers, crossing a crosswalk, how to ask for help, Be Flexible and Available – work within their time restraints; be available for 1on1 – behavior change Most SWD aim for inclusion – must be flexible Seek Vocational Programs
- IEP – One student has IEP they’ll often teach entire class
- Indicators - “Checks & Balance” for IEP – are goals measurable, reviewed annually, include student involvement & they meet post secondary goals 2004 – Reauthorization of IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act) required states to develop Annual Performance Plans to measure success based on 20 indicators. Indicators include graduation/drop-out rates, post-school outcomes, most important to us-- Indicator 13 relates to transition services for students Measuring & reporting success of IEP – postsecondary goals, transition services, To measure they use assessments aka – Student Transition Skills Inventory/Checklist/Assessment Indicators are reported back to State DOE
- Field Trips– Schools are on budgets; transportation cost savings using route bus Fares – math lesson; public safety– talking to strangers, crossing a crosswalk, how to ask for help,
- Accessibility is more than amenities Today we’re getting better at curb cuts, announcements, ramps– but largest barrier is that students are not taught how to advocate for themselves as a person with a disability. Jennifer – parents have embedded into her that she can not work or live alone. Teacher – we don’t tell the students they have a disability Parents – I will drive my child all over town, before I’ll let him ride a bus
