K Acton/Georgetown, Friday, April 25, 2008 13 The Towns ActiVan service is the benefi- ciary of $50,500 in funding from a provincial grant. The Town was informed last month it would get the money from the Ministry of Transportation if used for capital projects to expand or renew transit infrastructure. The Town will put the money into a deferred rev- enue reserve for use in any future capital pro- jects involving the municipal transit service, ActiVan. Meanwhile council also gave the go-ahead to spend $5,000 a year to provide ActiVan service on statutory holidays and the Christmas season. This past Christmas (Dec. 25-Jan.1), in a trial run, the Towns public works depart- ment hired an outside contractor Out n About Companion Services to operate the ActiVan service for registered users to travel to their holiday events. During this time peri- od, 88 users rode the bus 21 wheel- chair/scooter riders, 24 riders with disabili- ties and 43 seniors. Thats good utilization, ActiVan Transit co-ordinator Don Clarkson noted in his report to council. The cost to the Town was $1,920 or $22 per ride. Had the Town used its existing con- tractor, a premium rate would have been charged with the cost soaring to $2,800. It costs the Town about $19/ride on regu- lar days. This year, the Town will use the Town contractor on most holidays, and Out n About Companion Services as needed, espe- cially during Christmas week. As well, taxis may be used with a new taxi scrip service. The cost to provide the new service is about $5,000 per year, of which 75 per cent will come from the Provincial Gas Tax program.
