��! viewed when defining reasonableness, as noted in. he above s=tate k

� � 5
"REASONABLENESS of ineetin& unmet needs is defined in
economic feasibiiity terms in unit average cost per type
of service. If the average cost per ride, by type of
service, can be provided at or below the areawide cost
per ride by type of service, with an allowance of 10%
variance of the average cost, meeting that unmet need
will be deemed reasonable."
"Areawide"refers to the State of California with emphasis in the
Central Valley. "Type of Service" refers to the clientele served
(general public or E & H only) , the demographic situation (urban,
small city or rural), and whether or not the system is a subsidized
taxi. Within these parameters, the 11 presently operating, TDA -
subsidized public transit systems it San Joaquin County fall naturally
into four categories

Step Four - Hold the Public Hearitig(s).
In the Stockton area, the Stockton Metropolitan Transit District is
responsible for holding the unmet transit needs hearing. For the
unircorporated areas, the San Joaquin County Hoard of Supervisors
is the responsible entity. In Lodi, Manteca, Tracy, Ri-on, and
Escalon, the City Council is the responsible entity.
In scheduling and conducting the public hearings, the following points
snould be kept in mind:
1. X111 meetings must be in a public place which is accessible
to wheelchairs, preferably during daylight hours in a
place which is known to area residents.
2. Transcripts of comments and a list of public members pre-
sent should be made available to the public and the COG
as soon as practical after the hearing.
3. Hearings held in conjunction with a regularly -scheduled
City Council meeting should be held close to the
beginning of the meet.ng, in consideration of the elderly
and handicapped persons who will probably be present.
4. After the public hearing is opened, the purpose should
be explained - to hear public testimony concerning any
unmet transportation needs which may exist in the juris-
diction of the claimant.
5. Presently a-vailable public transit systems, bus, parn-
transit, and taxi systems could be mentioned and the
adequacy of their service discussed.
6. The City Council (or other governing body) does not
make a "no unmet needs" designation. Th- .s is left to
the COG Executive Board based on demographic factors,
letters to COG staff, petitions presented, input from
social service agencies, and any additional public
testimony which may be received at the COG public
hearings to be held in March or April of next year.
