Inter - Agency Paratransit Coordinating Council
June 22, 2009
Dear Mr. Wing,
Enclosed for your consideration is our Memorandum of Understanding
for your membership in the Inter - Agency Paratransit Coordinating
Council (IAPCC).
Through our partnerships, participating members have signed on to
provide services as sponsors or by contributing as an interested
organization in promoting our goals and principles. Thanks to our
collaborative efforts, we have expanded membership and launched
"Ride DuPage ", which this past October reached a milestone of
providing over 10,000 rides in a single month. We have applied for, and
received, hundreds of thousands of dollars in grants, county budget
support, and, more importantly, expanded transportation availability
through additional sponsoring organizations. Our model of service,
coordinated with Pace, is a�model that was adapted by the Chicago area
paratransit system and has drawn interest beyond our Illinois borders.
Please review the Memorandum knowing that while we strongly
encourage the expansion of sponsors funding paratransit services, we are
requesting that you support our principles and participate in meetings
and committee activities. Please approve and return the revised
Memorandum as soon as possible to the address below.
If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me or
Mary Keating at DuPage County. We thank you and look forward to
your participation.
Sincerely
s
William Waldack
Chair — Inter - Agency Paratransit Coordinating Council
Please return the Memo of Understanding to:
