Taxi Subsidy Program
The Taxi Subsidy Program is for people over age 60 or disabled. ADRC is selling one taxi card per month (with 10 punches) for half price for our clients who live in Baraboo, West Baraboo, Sauk Prairie, and Reedsburg. The Aging and Disability Resource Center doesn’t sell Lake Delton or Wisconsin Dells taxi tickets because they charge per mile. Blodgett informed that this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the taxi ticket sales are decreasing.
Advisory Council, Lori Rudolph asked: ‘Do you think people are afraid to use the taxi service due to the pandemic?”
Susan Blodgett: “Due to COVID-19 many of the doctor appointments are done virtually.”
Blodgett stated that ADRC is having annual increases in demand for services for seniors, the need of volunteer drivers, and wheelchair transportation. The demographics of Sauk County are changing and showing that the increases are coming, indicated by 2010 census. The Volunteer Driver Escort Program provides transportation to Managed Care Organization and private pay clients who live outside of the city limits. ADRC is looking for more volunteer escort drivers for Reedsburg and Baraboo. Having more volunteers will benefit our clients and we will be able to help more people in need of transportation. At this point we are not transporting clients from Nursing homes and Assisted Living Facilities.
Thomas Dorner, a County Board Supervisor asked: “Why are you not competing with the taxi companies?”
Susan Blodgett: “Our goal is not to compete. We provide transportation to our clients at a reasonable price outside of the city limits only.”
Transportation Council Terry Wolkowski suggested that ADRC should try to advertise the Volunteer Escort Program by submitting letters to local churches, rotary clubs, and other organizations.
Blodgett informed the public that our Fun Day Travels and Shopping Bus Trips were very popular. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we had to stop our Fun day travel trips. We are still offering shopping/grocery pick up for our clients. We’ve received great feedback from our clients. Each client has an opportunity to fill out a survey and submit a request for the destinations they would like to visit in the future. The Fun day trips are one of the services that we are hoping to restart in the future.
Blodgett informed the public that ADRC is applying for the 85.21 grant to continue these programs.
No other comments or suggestions were made and the Public Hearing was closed at 10:31 a.m.
