| Form 990, Part III, Line 1 | Via Mobility Services EIN 84-0777296 Attachment #1 Form 990, Via's mission is to promote independence and self-sufficiency for people with limited mobility by providing caring, customer-focused transportation options. Via provides a variety of transportation and mobility options that improve the quality of life for older adults, individuals with disabilities, and others with limited mobility. Via's exempt purpose also encompasses contract transportation services that reduce vehicular traffic in high density areas and enhance local governments' efforts to provide accessible and available transportation options to all members of the community. Form 990, Page 2, Part III.-. Via was established in 1979 as Special Transportation for Boulder County (dba Special Transit) with initial funding from the Boulder County Commissioners, to coordinate an efficient, cost-effective and accessible transportation system for older adults, people with disabilities and low-income individuals residing in the county. Via links hundreds of individuals every day to medical appointments, treatment centers, meal sites, shelters, adult day care, educational facilities, and jobs. Our clients include older adults, mentally and physically challenged individuals, persons with chronic illnesses, temporarily disabled individuals, children in crisis, and individuals who are homeless. The organization officially changed its name from Special Transit to Via Mobility Services on 1/1/2012. Via Mobility Services (Via) is is a vital community resource: The link to our society's discrete and spatially-dispersed activities is travel. Access to friends, families, employment, shopping and commerce, health and personal care, social interaction, education and cultural enrichment, - and religious expression--nearly all of the benefits of modern society--depend on our ability to transport ourselves from one location to another. High levels of mobility mean high levels of access, choice, and opportunity, which can lead to self-fulfillment, enrichment, independence, and even good health. Low levels of mobility can lead to isolation from friends and lack of access to the community as well as to critical services, food and health care. For many older adults and individuals with disabilities, a lack of mobility options poses one of the greatest challenges to remaining independent. Form 990. Via provides traditional paratransit service in five counties. This service is a wheelchair-accessible, door-through-door, driver-assisted, demand-response service, serving older adults and individuals with disabilities. Via Paratransit provided 136,452 trips and served 2,626 unduplicated individuals in 2015. Via also provides a travel training program to teach older adults and people with disabilities how to safely and confidently use public transportation to expand their independent travel options. A total of 108 people were served in 2015 in the comprehensive individual travel training program and evaluations indicate that successful trainees take an average of 28 trips per month on public transit. Via also acts as a travel navigator and helps all new clients to connect to the many transportation options that exist in their communities. During 2015, 2,320 new callers contacted Via for assistance and 583 had individual travel plans developed. These transportation and mobility programs are funded by multiple sources including government grants, United Ways, foundations, businesses and individuals. Via uses several performance measures to access effectiveness and efficiency of service including: cost per trip, trips by community and by purpose, client demographics, call center wait time and number of preventable accidents per 100,000 miles traveled and more. The most recent program outcomes measurement evaluation showed that 96% of our riders agreed or strongly agreed Via helps them to be more independent and 98% agreed or strongly agreed that Via helps them to be more self-sufficient. Form 990, Page 2. Part III: Question 4b. Under contract agreement with the Regional Transportation District (RTD) since 1996, Via operates Access-a-Ride, a paratransit program for individuals with disabilities that prevent them from using general public fixed route transit. As the regional publicly funded fixed route transit operator, RTD is mandated by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) to fund complementary paratransit services for eligible individuals. In 2015, Via's Access-a-Ride program provided 136,989 trips. Form 990. Page 2, Part III: Question 4c. Under contract agreement with the city of Boulder and the University of Colorado-Boulder, Via operates the HOP, a high frequency circulator shuttle that connects the major retail, business and educational centers in the congested core of the city. Operating on short frequencies, seven days/week, commuters, students, downtown workers, visitors, seniors and people with disabilities are all well served by the HOP. The Late Night HOP service (operating between 10 p.m. and 3 a.m., Thursday-Saturday during the academic year) ensures safe transit for students and late-night workers in this college town. Using cleaner fuel-burning buses, the HOP helps reduce pollution, improves air quality, mitigates traffic and supports the local economy by increasing accessibility to the main areas of the city. The HOP provided 796,722 trips in 2015. Form 990, Page 2, Part III: Question 4d. Under contract agreement with the Regional Transportation District (RTD), Via operates Call-n-Ride transportation services in eight metro Denver-Area Communities. Call-n-Ride is a hybrid demand responsive service operating in specific communities where fixed routes are generally not cost effective. Drivers take ride requests directly from a passenger. Designed to connect people to the RTD Park-n-Rides during peak hours of commuter travel, the service is open to anyone living or working within the defined geographic area. Via's Call-n-Ride program provided 132,401 trips in 2015. |
