[June 14, 2008]  The Logan and Mason Transit Partnership Group has moved to the second phase of the five-step primer process to bring federal transportation dollars to Logan and Mason counties. Community needs are being assessed and surveys are being distributed throughout the two counties and online at www.capcil.org. Surveys must be submitted by July 3.

InsuranceDetermining transportation needs of the community is a crucial part of the process as the group moves forward in developing a coordinated public transportation effort. The survey, developed by the Interagency Coordinating Committee on Transportation, is used to determine who needs transportation, where they need to go and when they need to go. The purpose is also to identify gaps between what is needed and what is provided.

Logan and Mason County residents are encouraged to visit the Community Action Partnership of Central Illinois on the Web at www.capcil.org to fill out the survey. Surveys must be completed by July 3. Hard copies of the surveys may be filled out and returned to various locations throughout the counties, including the Lincoln Public Library, Jacksonville Area Center for Independent Living, Logan and Mason County health departments, and the Community Action offices in Lincoln and Havana. Several large employers are also distributing the survey to their employees to encourage participation in the survey.

"We are asking everyone to take a few minutes to voice their needs and their future needs if they were unable to drive themselves," said Angela Stoltzenburg. "The Transit Partnership Group will use this information to determine the needs of the community. The needs assessment is a critical part of the process." Stoltzenburg is the executive director of the Community Action Partnership of Central Illinois and is serving as the team leader for the transportation initiative.

Community Action Partnership of Central Illinois is a private, nonprofit organization that advocates for the low-income and senior residents of its six-county service area.
