I. Approval of the Minutes As required by the Commission for the Transportation Disadvantaged (CTD) and Florida Administrative Code 41-02.012(5) (a), Board minutes from the February 19, 2013 board meetings were submitted to the LCB for approval. Action: Mr. Kathy Rudd moved to approve the February 19, 2013 Meeting Minutes with the corrections; Ms. Faye Basiri seconded, and the motion was unanimously approved. II. III. Old Business There was none. New Business A. Transportation Disadvantaged Service Plan Ms. Julia Pearsall presented the Transportation Disadvantaged Service Plan (TDSPT) to the board. Ms. Pearsall informed the board that this is perfunctory; however there will be a more detailed review in the next quarter. The first section discussed the changes in price the "Cost per Unit" table; the changes were not drastic. The summary of the results for the rider survey, done every spring by the Planning Council, included summaries from the past years for comparison. The final section reviewed was the Memorandum of Agreement; this is the contract signed by the CTC (Tri-County) and the Commission for Transportation Disadvantaged. The new contract for Tri-County to continue as the CTC will begin July 1, 2013, at which time there will be a more detailed review in the first quarter. Ms. Basiri asked about the documentation of unmet trips; Ms. Pearsall responded saying the numbers are documented on the Quarterly Report by the CTC, and are shown as "reschedules" in this particular document. Action: Ms. Basiri moved to accept the TDSP. Ms. Rudd seconded the motion and the motion was passed unanimously by roll call vote. B. Membership Certification This item is to review any corrections to any errors with the members can be made. Ms. Pearsall explained that the board does not appoint the members, the West Florida Regional Planning Council does; however the board's recommendation is accepted without any problem. Ms. Adams corrected her alternate is Susan Grimes. Ms. Gothard asked why the veteran's position was marked out. Ms. Pearsall answered saying Chris Hyatt, hasn t made any meetings despite being active previously; however that will be checked before this is submitted to the commission. Ms. Pritchard informed that Linda Carver is no longer with ARC and will no longer be an alternate; it will now be Louis Barbee. Ms. Pearsall told the board she would take any help from the board and the CTC with filling that position. Ms. Adams asked if all these positions required to be filled. Ms. Pearsall said it is an understanding that there have been so many cut backs that there really aren't people to attend the meetings. Ms. Rudd added that the positions are in Florida statute to be required to be filled. Action: Ms. Keith moved to accept the membership list with the follow up. Ms. Rudd seconded the motion and it was unanimously passed. Holmes and Washington County TD Minutes Page 2

C. Community Transportation Coordinator Report Ms. Inez Cassiday presented the CTC Report to the board. There was question from the previous meeting about why the number of trips was so low; Ms. Cassiday clarified that the number of trips was low because there was a service out for two weeks in December. Chair Gothard asked about the complaints, and Ms. Cassiday clarified that the complaints were being counted differently now so the figure should be continuing to go up. There being no further discussion the board continued. Action: Information Only D. Regional Planning Council Quarterly Report Ms. Pearsall informed the board that the only thing to report from the Planning Council, is the presentation to Commission for Transportation Disadvantaged for Tri-County Community Council to remain the Community Transportation Coordinator, and that has been approved. There was no further discussion. Action: Information Only E. Commission for the Transportation Disadvantage Correspondence Ms. Pearsall reviewed the Commission for the Transportation Disadvantaged Correspondence. Handouts of agendas for two Commission for the Transportation Disadvantaged meetings. Ms. Pearsall touched on the list of new CTC Transportation Allocations. The handouts showed an increase for both the allocations for Transportation Disadvantaged Trust funds, and Transportation Disadvantaged Planning funds. Ms. Pearsall also pointed out changes in Apalachee Planning Council due to some of the Counties being urbanized and removed. They will now have Capital Region Transportation Planning Agency as their planning agency. There being no further discussion the board continued. Action: Information Only F. Grant Review There were no grants for review. Action: Information Only IV. Other Business There was general discussion of the effect of legislation to each of the agencies on the board. Tri-County updated the board on their progress with the new scheduling system. Mr. Paul said it would make the scheduling more efficient and will hopefully go live on June 24. This will allow Tri-County to transition smoothly into more regional transportation. Ms. Rudd asked that Mr. Paul inform the board of the maintenance facility that Tri- County is trying to obtain. Mr. Paul explained that they have asked the state to help fund a maintenance facility. The idea is to build a new facility that will be located in the Bonifay area. Hopefully the decision will be made and good news will be reported around July. Ms. Rudd added that it has been a very proactive process. Florida Department of Transportation has sent out a team of people from Florida State Holmes and Washington County TD Minutes Page 3

University, to do an analysis of their current maintenance system. FDOT is working through some of the actions needed to be in place in management before the process can move forward. There are a lot of vehicles that require maintenance, and Ms. Rudd said if some of it could be done with their own maintenance facility it could save a lot of money. Due to her retirement, this was Ms. Pearsall's last meeting. Ms. Adams expressed her gratitude and praise for the job she had done with Transportation Disadvantaged. V. Adjourn There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned. Holmes and Washington County TD Minutes Page 4

Also TCCC provides transportation to consumers that reside an assisted living facility for their psychiatric and medical appointments without the assistance of TCCC transportation most of our consumers would not be able to make their appointments. As I am writing you this letter I received a phone call from consumers in Holmes County that is in need of transportation to her primary care physician. And I contacted TCCC and arrange her transportation. If you have any questions please contact me."

AGENDA ITEM III-C SUBJECT: rideon Presentation BACKGROUND: Last year the rideon Program teamed up with the Idea Works Marketing Agency to develop two commercials highlighting the Commuter Assistance Program. One commercial targets working mothers and features the emergency ride home program. The other commercial targets military personnel who may want to vanpool to work. Both commercials have generated calls to the hotline, directly to rideon staff, and brought an increase in online registrations and match requests. The effective management of rideon's services requires an ongoing exchange of information between vanpool groups, vanpool vehicle providers, and major employers. Access to EZ-Ride's secure website, www.dodgetraffic; allows commuters to instantly find carpool matches online. Private vanpools are registered in EZ-Ride by the rideon Staff. The vanpool group leader is identified, and the vanpool roster is reviewed and adjusted as needed. REQUESTED ACTION: For Information Our Commitment - Mobility

In order to fulfill this requirement the board has requested that the CTC provide a quarterly summary of coordination activities and a financial report of sponsored and non-sponsored trip costs in Holmes and Washington Counties.
