Recommendation 1 Target older riders for outreach and education on SunTran services. • Partner with local agencies, such as Pima Council on Aging and Parks and Recreation, to publicize START (Sun Tran Accessible Rider Training) classes and offer them at locations that are convenient to attend (i.e. community lunch program locations). Recommendation 2 During the Regional Transportation Authority Continuation Plan planning process, seek funding to develop transit and ride hailing/ mobility-on-demand services through emerging technologies, such as the Amore pilot project in Southeast Tucson. Recommendation 3 Work with Pima Association of Governments and Pima Council on Aging’s Neighbors Care Alliance to explore options for expanding volunteer ride sharing/request programs. Recommendation 4 Work with City of Tucson's Public Safety Communications Department to develop an easy access phone number to connect easily to safe transport options.
• Draft and adopt Complete Streets Manual and Implementation Plan. • Conduct trainings for City staff and information sessions for community members. Recommendation 2 Complete a Pedestrian and Bike Safety Action Plan. • Analyze pedestrian and bike crash data and identify high priority corridors and intersections to include in final plan. • Present to Mayor and Council and implement/ test improvements. Recommendation 3 Prioritize accessibility improvements and multi-modal projects in future transportation infrastructure planning efforts. • Work toward completion of the ADATransition Plan and seek funding as available. Prioritize future road projects that align with urgent ADA improvement needs. • Include ADA improvements, sidewalks, walkability elements, and Bicycle Boulevard Master Plan build-out into the City’s Mobility Master Plan and recommendations for the Regional Transportation Authority Continuation Plan. Goal B Improve transit and ride sharing services for older adults.
