RESOLUTION NO. 94-35
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE
CITY OF COSTA MESA, CALIFORNIA, SUPPORTING A
"NO" VOTE BY THE ORANGE COUNTY TRANSPORTA-
TION AUTHORITY (OCTA) BOARD OF DIRECTORS ON
LEVEL I, WHICH WILL PHASE OUT DIAL -A -RIDE
DEMAND SERVICE EXCEPT FOR ADA ELIGIBLE
CUSTOMERS.
WHEREAS, the City Council of the City of Costa Mesa supports the need to continue
Dial -A -Ride because the elimination will impact the senior population of our City who have
physical limitations; and
WHEREAS, this action will create safety issues for this population who will be forced
to utilize fixed routes; and
WHEREAS, this action will take away the independence of seniors making it impossible
for them to maintain a high quality lifestyle, and may impact City services such as Fire, Police,
and Paramedics; and
WHEREAS, some investigation of cost -per -rider should be made before an actual phasing
out of any program can be justified thereby making OCTA accountable for cost of service to
taxpayers;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Costa
Mesa supports a "no" vote by the OCTA Board of Directors on Level I, which will phase out
Dial -A -Ride Demand Service except for ADA eligible customers; and this action by the Council
will help to continue and maintain the high quality of life the seniors of Costa Mesa now enjoy.
PASSED AND ADOPTED this 2nd day of May, 1994.
