 Determining 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.
