Transportation has been identified as a limiting factor. Bus would provide the opportunity for citizens to get to the aquatics facilities, also would allow Recreation Division to expand programming. The design of these smaller (15 & 24 passenger) busses would allow easier loading access for senior and small children into the vehicle. Current vans are underutilized because of their age, and the challenge they pose for seniors, overweight, and disabled to get into. The very young can not ride because of the car seat requirement. A bus would overcome the aforementioned problems. Currently we use Mountain Line to the fullest extent possible, it often does not meet our needs for program destinations. Commercially operated buses are very expensive to hire which would drive the fees associated with programs to be cost prohibitive for most citizens. Spent in Prior Years OPERATING BUDGET COSTS Spent in Prior Years Funded in Prior Years REVENUE EXPENSE Project Title: Recreation/Aquatics Buses Date Submitted to Finance Today's Date and Time 06/02/2009 10:03 Description of additional operating budget impact: Requires recreation staff to obtain CDL to operate. Would require central maintenance to certify mechanics to perform repairs on the buses. ---PAGE BREAK--- Program Category: 10 Project # Parks, Recreation and Open Space PR-16 Yes No 1.

Total Score - Transportation has been identified as a limiting factor for many day cares and after school programs who would utilize the Currents Waterpark for programming during work hours which are typically slower programming hours for the facility. The Recreation programs are looking forward to expanding the outdoor program opportunities offered to seniors. The vans currently being used for transportation pose an unreasonable challenge especially for our seniors and overweight clients. Currently using a three step stool to provide easier access - not ideal due to stability and height off the ground they are required to climb creating a fall component to our risk management plan. Providing group transportation will always be a beneficial to conserving energy and reducing pollution. One or two vehicles on the road vs. three older vans. Parks and Recreation services are essential to the quality of life and promote health and wellness in this community. In addition recreation develops social and economic capital and all Missoula citizens have a right to quality recreational opportunities and access to community facilities. Strategic Goals 1 & 2 Quantitative Analysis Comments These buses will help eliminate lack of transportation for senior and youth populations allowing greater access programs and use of facilities which would provide a direct health benefit. A more active life style in general will help decrease the soaring cost of medical care for problematic disease like; high blood pressure, obesity, arthritis, stroke, and cardiovascular. The longer this need is pushed out the older and less reliable our vans become. People signed up for programs are our priority in any of our risk management plans. The buses are a pro-active step to develop a safer more accommodating means to transport participants utilizing our programs. Center for Disease Control statistics show an increase of obesity, high blood pressure, and arthritis amongst our adult and youth population. Transportation to aquatics facilities and recreation program sites would only benefit people in their quest to live a more active lifestyle. CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM (See C.I.P.
