Page THE HERALD Wednesday March a 1989 Advisory committee makes recommendations By MICHELLE Herald Special The evaluation report for Pegasus the intermunicipal transportation for the mobility disabled has been completed by the Mobility Impaired Advisory Committee The 15month trial period authorized by Region for the implementation of a service for the mobility unpaired was set up to determine if there was a de mand Rick Bonnette Regional Coun for Ward 1 said The Com is planning to have a promo tion in midMay or early June tc commemorate Pegasus first yeai in service A recommendation the advisory committee made was that council implement Pegasus as an ongoing service and approve the expansion of the service over the next five years The disbanding of the Mobility Impaired Advisory Com and replacement of it with the Transit for the Disabled Advisory Committee was also recommended The advisory committee sug gested that council authorize the renewal of the contract with Tyler Transport for an extended 17 mon ths Also the committee wants to analyse the scheduling system cur rently in use to determine if the system requires modification Another person Is needed to analyse future vehicle options tot accommodate changes in the scheduling system eligibility criteria and growth of the service The evaluation shows there are registrants and of that 30 7 per cent used the service Eighty per cent of the trips taken were used for medical and treatment pro grams These statistics prove that there is a need for this service and that will increase as the provincial eligibility standards become broader and will have to be implemented by January 1991 said Coun Pegasus is an inter municipal service which provides transporta tion for people who cannot use every day transportation services A person who would like to go from Georgetown to Norval would not be able to use the service because both towns are a part of Halton Hills Two of the most active tran sit corrlHors are Halton Hills to Milton and Milton to Burlington InterMilton transportation is a service which has been provided up to now but will be phased out Passengers of the Pegasus pro gram must meet certain eligibility guidelines which state that service was for persons who regardless of age were unable to board Woman fished f rorri harbor Regional Police assisted the Police Force in freeing

Timtfajr MMM and Fit regular transit facilities This guideline is in the process of changing to include a broader definition The new eligibility guideline is expected to increase registrations on the transit system by up to 30 per cent The fee for passengers to use tins method of transportation has been scheduled to increase every second year As of now it costs per trip and beginning in 1990 the price will increase by cents every two years A major concern facing Pegasus in 1989 is whether or not the cur rent vehicle will provide reliable safe service through the year The Regional Public Works Depart has done an assessment of the vehicle They estimate that it will cost up to in repairs during this year Such areas of repair include the large sliding door replacing the lift repairing rust and tires The public works staff said the vehicle could pro bably be used for one more year but it would be costly and there may be a safety factor If the Pegasus van does develop problems another step which could be taken is to lease a back up vehicle from the transport operator who currently operating Pegasus until a van could be purchased or leased N ELLS DRIVING SCHOOL Approved by the Ontario
