San Ramon valley Community Center, Inc. P.O. BOX 604 • 135 Love Lane Danville,California 94526 • 837-8235 TO: David Stegman FROM: Martha Horner DATE: March 9 , 1984 RE: 1983-84 Paratransit Program Operation The Paratransit service operated by the San Ramon Valley Community Center serves people over 60 or disabled people under 60 who are residents of Danville, San Ramon, Dublin, or the unincorporated areas of Contra Costa County known as Alamo, Blackhawk, Diablo or Whitegate. Of the registered riders , 83% are residents of Contra Costa County and 17% are Alameda County residents . Contra Costa County residents take 77% of all trips and Alameda County residents take 230 . See the attached graphs to see individual area percentages. Approximately 1, 000 trips covering over 6 , 000 miles are taken per month, using two vehicles with one back-up. Two of the vehicles are wheel chair lift equipped, and about 7% of the trips use the lift. Because of the nature of the San Ramon Valley , the average passenger trip is over eight miles long. Drivers give assistance whenever needed, though attendants are encouraged for wheel chair passengers . New passengers are registering at the rate of 5 - 10 per month.
