  2. What is Coordinated Services? • Common Goals • Increase ridership • Minimize expenses • Maximize Revenues • Build Partnerships • Share Resources • Reduce duplication of services • Maximize impact

  3. On Board with Sheboygan! • Fixed Route and Specialized Transportation Services • ADA Paratransit and 85.21 Elderly and Disabled Program • Service a population of 70,000 individuals • Fleet of 12 ADA vehicles (shared Capital investments) • Coordinated Service Model • County and City “coordinate” transportation together! • Provided by Metro Connection • Combined 50,000 trips annually

  4. What does coordination mean? • Enhanced network of transportation • Fixed Route, ADA Paratransit & 85.21 Program • Availability to maximize Federal and State funding • 85.21 Program funds contribute to local share • One dispatch center for all specialized trips • One call center for all specialized trips • Leverage more dollars for operations • Cross-certification of passengers (most appropriate program)

  5. How does Funding Work? • Local share: 45% of Expenses • Increases in local share allow for increases in Federal and State portions (assuming funding availability). • Decreases in local share consequently decreases the Federal and State portions. • Federal/State share: 55% of Recognized Expenses • Sheboygan Example: • $920,000 in local share contribution allows for an operating budget of $4,000,000! • Decrease to $600,000 would yield approximate $2,850,000 • Loss of both expenses and revenues!

  6. Coordination Benefits • 85.21 Program • $450,000 in service for $320,000 • Larger service area, longer hours and inexpensive fares • Convenience of cross-certified passengers to use one provider! • Additional County staff likely funded out of program (further reducing $ spent on actual trips)

  7. Coordination Benefits • Metro Connection/Shoreline Metro • 85.21 Program dollars used as part of local share (leverage more state and federal dollars) that fund entire operational budget • Transportation experts! • All revenues offset transportation expenses! • Passengers have one number for transportation!
