DIAL A RIDE ADVISORY BOARD MEETING
Report of Meeting October 25,2001
The minutes to the last meeting were distributed as well as the monthly totals of each
town's ridership. The Service Summary totals from January 2001 to September 2001 show a 2%
increase in Dial-A-Ride services. These totals and summaries are attached to this report
Please note the Wappinger ridership is now close to 600 passengers per month using both
buses. The Town subsidizes a second bus for the seniors on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. This
increase in ridership continues to grow rapidly. There are an increasing number of seniors in the
Town requesting transportation service. The Town Board may wish to look at another increase
in the Dial-A-Ride service for the Town seniors by extending the second bus to other days in the
week.
Several seniors have concerns regarding going to doctors and for diagnostic tests. Many
of the tests require an empty stomach. They have complained they often have to wait to go for
their test until after everyone else gets to their location. I questioned this and asked the
supervisor and dispatch to look into this and get back to me.
Gift Certificates for the Dial-A-Ride service are available at the Office of the Aging.
The 2002 contracts will be sent out to the municipalities in November.
The meeting was adjourned at 10:50a.m. the next meeting is Thursday, January, 24, 2002

(see attached)
At the request of Mary Kaye Dolan, who is on vacation, Barbara Griggs was asked
to chair the meeting.
The Agenda, DAR Service Summary YTD report through June and the monthly totals report
fo: April, May and June 2001 were distributed. After review, Kealy Solomon inquired as
to the reason for the drop in ridership in June. Sandra Price explained that it is not
un:1sual for ridersilip to clrop during the SUIT'Jner months due to vacations.
Participating municipalities were recently advised by the Office for the Aging that
for the year 2002 there would be an increase of 2.25% in the cost for DAR service.
Peter Idem~ raised the issue once more of hi!; interest in pursuing no cost transportation
for the seniors of East Fishkill with the town pid.in:,. IlJ:' tiw co~:t. }fa :1::1:ed Spencer
Mcy.ain how best DOT and the tOlm could coopera.te in working outva:s!:Jstem to provide this
service substituting cash payments with coupons, tokens or some other means along with a
method for distribution. After several suggestions from Board Members, Peter and Spencer
agreed to continue discussing the issue in order to work our a feasible solution.
As indicated on the Agenda, several to~~s expressed interest in the possible extension
0: service. No specific requests have been filed with DAR as of the meeting. Sandra
stated there is also an indication of additional rider interest at her location, She
recently received a request for twenty or so application forms from the Berkley Square
hO:1sing development and it is CL'1ticipated that requests for ne~' applications Ivill be ongoing
as new housing is developed.
Debbie Donohue reported that she had received complaints from riders who were told,
after boarding the bus, they would have to be taken home earlier than anticipated because
the bus "was needed." Sandy and Janice expressed concern over the report since it is not
D~~ policy. They advised they would look into the matter. And another East Fishkill rider
- 2 -
expressed concern about the number of additional stops he could make on one trip. It
was explained that DAR allows up to 3 stops within the municipality and that it is not
always possible to comply with requests for additional stops due to the bus schedule on
that particular day and the distance and time required for addition2l stops. It was
suggested that the rider be informed of this policy. A brief overview of DAR policy
followed.
