Collier County CTC is considered a complete brokerage, contracting all fixed- route, paratransit, and transportation disadvantaged operations to Tectrans who operates as Collier Area Transit (CAT). CAT obtains prior authorization for all trips (ADA, TD, and Medicaid), schedules the trip(s) and invoices the Collier County Alternative Transportation Modes Department on a monthly basis. Collier Area Transit operates ten routes on a fixed -route system. The entire fleet is equipped with lifts that are compatible with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA). As the management company for the CTC, CAT performs all the elements of coordination for the paratransit program in Collier County, e.g., call intake, certification, eligibility, reservations, scheduling, transportation, reporting, cost - sharing and information sharing. Collier County provides administrative support such as grant writing, planning, budgeting, and public information and also program approval for all aspects of the Paratransit program. Three distinct transportation programs are provided under Collier Area Transit's Paratransit Program: Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Transportation Disadvantaged (TD) and Medicaid. The ADA program provides service to people who reside within 3/a miles of an existing CAT bus route and have transportation needs that fall within the service schedule of CAT, but cannot access the bus system due to a disability. The TD program provides service to people residing in areas where CAT bus routes are not available and who have no other means of transportation. The Medicaid program provides transportation to Medicaid eligible people who cannot travel by the CAT bus routes and have no other means of transportation. Collier Area Transit currently employs seventy-four people. What: Collier Area Transit's goal is to provide the citizens of Collier County affordable, safe and reliable transportation. Our motto is "Safety First, Customer Service Always!" As such, security and customer service enhancements to our system are always our top priority. With enhanced safety and security requirements from the Department of Transportation and Department of Homeland Security, and our commitment to providing safe transportation to our citizens, Shirley Conroy Rural Area Capital Assistance Support Grant Application 17 Rev. 7/27/2011 16A23 comes the need to outfit our vehicles with on -board cameras. Ten of the vehicles used daily to provide services to the citizens for Collier County and the rural area do not have security cameras on board. This grant would allow us to complete this critical mission. Where: Collier Area Transit (CAT) provides services to urban and rural areas of Collier County. The rural area of Collier County located in the northeast portion of the county covers the Golden Gate Estates and the township of Immokalee. Rural Florida continues to have lower earned income, higher unemployment, lower property values and fewer opportunities for employment. Located in northeastern Collier County, the Immokalee Community is located approximately 45 miles from the County seat of Naples. This rural un- incorporated area is primarily agricultural. There is one major roadway - Immokalee Road (CR 846) - into the community from Naples. State Road 29 provides access into the Community from the northern counties of Lee and Hendry. 60% of the land is currently used for agricultural purposes. The remaining land is a mixture of residential, commercial and industrial uses. According to the Collier County Immokalee Area Community Redevelopment Agency; the estimated 1998 permanent population of Immokalee is 17,806. However, the population nearly doubles during the winter months due to the agricultural industry. This increase occurs when the harvest season for vegetables and citrus is at its peak. The 1998 projected peak season population for Immokalee is 32,929. The Immokalee population is considerably different from Collier County as a whole. The 1990 median age in Immokalee is estimated at 21 while the Collier County median age is estimated 41. Approximately 65% of Immokalee's population is of Hispanic origin, which may be of any race, in comparison to 8% of the remainder of Collier County's population being of Hispanic origin. This rural area is considered part of the Florida's Heartland Regional Economic Development Initiative (FHREDI). The www.city- data.com website states that Immokalee's median household income in 2009 was $23,616, which is less than the average annual wage listed in FHREDI for communities in 2008. The per capita income was listed as $8,738 in 2009. 45% of the population is considered to be below poverty level. Immokalee has long been considered isolated from the coastal county both in location and demographics. Immokalee's development is based on its agriculture resources, which made Immokalee the leading producer of winter vegetables in the United States. However, as the economics of agriculture changed, the social problems associated with low wages, an unskilled labor force, and a transient multicultural population grew. One of the results has been a lack of reinvestment into the area. The economy of rural Southwest Florida has been and continues to be based primarily on agriculture, which has not kept pace with job growth throughout the state of Florida. Regionally, the major economic contributors are retirement, tourism, construction, agriculture and the environment. Although tourism has a major impact on the regional urban economy, the - Immokalee Community has yet to reap the benefits from this industry. Collier Area Transit transports approximately the equivalent of 35% of the total population of Immokalee. Ridership in the township of Immokalee shows a steady increase every year. The service to this area is critical to ensure the transportation needs in the rural areas of our Shirley Conroy Rural Area Capital Assistance Support Grant Application 18 Rev. 7/27/2011 16A23 county the elderly, disabled, and low income citizen's of Immokalee are met. When: It is anticipated that Collier will commence this project on December 2011 and will complete by April 2012. How: Collier will utilize an existing Florida Department of Transportation approved contract to purchase security cameras. VVhY: A large portion of paratransit customers are disabled, physically and /or mentally, some more pronounced than others. Occasionally we have customers presenting claims that are investigated and in many occasions verified by using the on -board cameras. These cameras are also used for observing customer service provided by our drivers, to verify incidents with vehicles and on occasions we have partnered with the local Sheriff Office to provide valuable information to help during investigations. Having cameras on board our vehicles provides the ability to offer safe, reliable transportation to our citizens.
