It may also be possible I. to serve some town and county employees in trips between service centers in 1982 or 1983. Budgeting will be the responsibility of—the system's governing transportation board. The coordinator (OnA Director) , depending on the final form the system takes will be the chief link on budgetary and most - - - '--' other matters between the governing board, county manager and commissioners , town governments , and other interested parties. A regular training program should be established by this time for training drivers in defensive driving techniques, first aid, lift equip- ment and in the use of radio equipment. Arrangements can be made with local rescue squads for first aid training, with state police for defensive drYvfn and with county communications for radio use. The governing Transportation board will establish a personnel polil the first two years of operations and will modify it according to the - system's- employee balance of the driver contingent. The board needs to- decide by 1982 or 1983 whether they wish to continue with 108% of drivers hours being provided on an in-kind basis , or if it would be preferable to arrange with member agencies a shifting of funds (through their per trip or per mile operating contract) to allow other agencies to hire some full time drivers . Individual routes may be longer in duration and thus it may be more appropriate to use some personnel in a full time driving role that will not interfere with their agency program duties. Some agencies will be able to arrange with their funding sources to allmx for this and some may have no choice but to continue to provide in-kind driver time. • _ _ _ _ _ _ _ '
