Council Minutes of 3-21-2017 AUDIENCE PARTICIPATION Catherine Ciha, Senior Transportation Connection located at 4735 West 150th Street, Cleveland. She was joined by her colleague Marti Pytel who is a North Olmsted resident. They wanted to address Council about a new program launching on April 1 providing additional transportation for seniors and adults with disabilities residing within North Olmsted. The first of the year we were notified that the Senior Transportation Connection was one of six recipients of a national grant designed to explore new ways of transportation for people with mobility limitations. She said they were pleased to have as partners the North Olmsted Senior Center, Services for Independent Living and NOACA to help us launch expanded services in your community. Since 2009 the Senior Transportation Connection has been providing weekday transportation for adults 60 and older predominately for personal business such as medical appointments and other things they need to stay independent, active and involved in their community. Ms. Ciha said it has been an effective program and the Senior Transportation Connection was pleased they could offer a separate, unique and additional program. This program will allow seniors and other adults to pay a small fee to be transported to even more places for social reasons, worship and recreation not only within North Olmsted, but outside of the community as well. She said they wanted to make it clear they are looking forward to doing even more things to benefit your residents and adding and enhancing some new services in addition to the great working relationship they've had with the City to this point. The Mayor thanked the Senior Transportation Connection for the good work they do and for thinking of the City when they received the grant. Thank you very much.
