12 Shop-a-Round Service Provides transportation to grocery stores for seniors and persons with disabilities Goal: provide transportation and assistance to individuals who live in areas without nearby fresh groceries Launched in October 2010 at four select neighborhoods, since expanded citywide Riders may decide to either van or taxi service In FY 13-14, completed 6,000 trips to about 1,300 riders

15 Peer Escort Project Growing number of riders require hand-tohand transportation Project Objectives: Improve access to day programs for people with cognitive disabilities. Improve safety and on-board experience of SFMTA paratransit group van riders who have cognitive disabilities (e.g. dementia, developmental disabilities) by providing a peer escort

16 Project Details Initial pilot of program will target select group van centers with high number of at-risk riders Short term funding through DAAS; applying for federal grant to sustain program Partnership with Family Services Agency Utilize existing Senior Companion Program Will recruit low income seniors and persons with disabilities as escorts with emphasis on those with similar language and cultural backgrounds as riders Provide training, background checks, and stipend for escorts

17 Looking Forward Continued shift of policy towards prioritizing aging in place Emphasis on ensuring seniors and persons with disabilities have access to transportation and the community at large Meeting service gaps, especially among older adults Increase use of mobility management tools to ensure individuals have knowledge and choose the best and most cost effective transportation choice Collaborating with city agencies and community organizations
