• <br /> 064 <br /> applied to age group breakdowns for each census tract or enumeration dis- <br /> trict in order to estimate the transportation handicapped prevalency for <br /> each subarea. <br /> This computerized model generates demand estimates by census tracts or <br /> enumeration districts for the various transit dependent subpopulations <br /> (individuals who are also likely to have human service agency clientele) <br /> and for the general public. CGA will then compare these demand estimates <br /> • with existing levels of service to .develop the estimate of unmet need. <br /> Those areas or tracts/districts exhibiting the greatest unmet need will be <br /> identified and tat rgeted for service alternative development. <br /> • <br /> Task 5: Presentation of Inventory and Analysis Results <br /> (TDP Steps .8 and 14) <br /> At the conclusion of Task 4, the Consultant will prepare an interim report <br /> detailing all findings to date. The report will be presented to the" Pro- <br /> ' ject Steering Committee at their second meeting.. In addition to the writ- <br /> ten report, the Consultant will prepare maps and overlays on a large scale, <br /> showing existing transportation routes and the locations/patterns of demand <br /> from the demand and needs assessment. <br /> The meeting will serve two purposes. First, the Committee will have an <br /> opportunity to review and comment on the report, thereby ensuring the Con- <br /> sultant has accurately described the needs and priorities of the prospec- <br /> tive users of the system prior to initiating the service development phase <br /> of the project. Second, the Committee will be given the opportunity to <br /> revise original igoals and objectives, if necessary, due to the outcome of <br /> the inventory and analysis findings. <br /> Task 6: Develop Alternative Service Improvement Concepts <br /> (TDP Steps 15 through 18) <br /> Service alternatives development will be driven by four factors: <br /> 1. What are the service design objectives as 'originally stated in Task 1 <br /> and/or revised in Task 5? <br /> 2. What were the service delivery problems identified in the inventory <br /> phase and how can they be corrected? <br /> 3. Are there significant levels of unmet need for transit services and <br /> how can these needs be met in a cost-effective manner? <br /> 2-7 <br />
