M] <br />Appendix C— Additional Written Comments From Workshop Participants <br />As part of the workshops, participantswere given comment sheets on which they could write any <br />additional comments they had on the Locally Coordinated Human Service Transportation Ran or the <br />planning process. The following is a compilation of these written comments, grouped by workshop <br />(Sanford or Chapel Hi 11). <br />Additional Comments Provided in Sanford Workshop <br />Presentation and material exceptional. In order to accomplish/ reduce transportation issue is to link <br />services through effective collaborative efforts. <br />This is not a useful tool if we only sit in a room for 3 hours every 5 years. It might be a useful strategic <br />tool if done more frequently. It also seems like a good opportunity to develop strategic linkages <br />between county jurisdictions. Also, I learned somethings today— more than 5 years ago —so this might <br />be a good idea for education of (potential) partners. <br />Follow up! <br />Additional Comments Provided in Chapel Hill Workshop <br />This is a great way to capture information about future services to be provided to taxpayers of Orange <br />County. It would be great to include more public input —perhaps a separate session for public only. <br />As NCQATiitle V=trainee, and citizen aging in place, the morning offers entry points for improving <br />focus group training. These processes become evermore complex for citizen groups and advocates for <br />thosewithout mobility, limited fundsand ongoing isolation deficits. Senior centers, faith -based <br />organizations and specialized interest groups can benefit from this quality presentation. Community <br />workshops need to be held in all townships. <br />Chatham participation may have been better in Chatham County. <br />Institution policy change to allow OPTservice expansion to enable rural residents publictransit meansto <br />get to supermarkets (coverage for "food desert') <br />I wish the health and social services departments had more time to follow -up before your processwere <br />done. With a few weeks we could have taken questions from this workshop and gotten better data on <br />that. Perhaps in the future you could target —ask for specific data sets from key services? <br />Triangle Area FFO Locally Coordinated Human Service Transportation Ran 72 <br />
