SUPPORT OF SPECIALIZED TRANSPORTATION SERVICES
TO BE ADMINISTERED BY THE CITY OF SOUTH BEND

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE AND INTENT:
The City of South Bend, in creative and affirmative partnership
with residents, private enterprise, and the Federal Government, is committed
to the goal of improving the "quality of life" in the city, its neighborhoods,
and for its residents. There is a growing recognition that special publics,
like the handicapped have particular needs which should be addressed so that
they, too, can experience positive change in their daily lives. As a part of
this effort, it is acknowledged that specialized transportation services can
make an impact on those persons who would otherwise find it most difficult
or impossible to travel from their residences to other destinations throughout
the City. The Division of Community Development, therefore, requires funds
enabling the Specialized Transportation System of St. Joseph County to make
its specialized van transportation services available to appropriate Community
Development Neighborhood Strategy Area residents.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED by the Common Council of the City of
South Bend, as follows:
SECTION I. The sum of $20,000.00 is hereby appropriated for the program
year starting July 7, 1981 from the Community Block Grant Fund (Program
Year 1981). This appropriation is to be administered by the Division of
Community Development and the Specialized Transportation System of St. Joseph
County, as set forth below:

Specialized Transportation System of St. Joseph County has requested
assistance from the City of South Bend to operate their program of
providing accessible transportation service to handicapped residents.
STS is an adjunct of Transpo which operates vans equipped with lifts to
facilitate use by persons in wheelchairs.
For the calendar year beginning January 1, 1982, STS will no longer
receive funding from Section 8 or CETA and hasn't been provided an increase
in funding, over 1981 levels from Transpo. This initial appropriation by
the City is to assist in the delivery of their services and to encourage
additional funding from other sources in the community.
The City administration will assist STS in any way possible in
securing the necessary additional funds.
The City and the Common Council proposes funding STS on a one -time
basis with the CDBG funds being utilized for services delivered to
residents of neighborhood strategy areas. Community Development Block
Grant funds may be used to fund this activity under the Public Service
category.
Should you have any questions concerning this appropriation request,
please contact me at 284 -9335. I request your favorable consideration of
this ordinance.
