|
0011| A JOINT MEMORIAL
|
0012| REQUESTING THE GOVERNOR'S COMMITTEE ON CONCERNS OF THE
|
0013| HANDICAPPED TO STUDY THE EXTENT TO WHICH THE TRANSPORTATION
|
0014| NEEDS OF PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES ARE NOT BEING MET BY PRESENT
|
0015| TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS AND THE EXTENT TO WHICH IMPROVED
|
0016| COORDINATION OF EXISTING SPECIAL TRANSPORTATION PROGRAMS COULD
|
0017| ADDRESS THOSE NEEDS.
|
0018|
|
0019| WHEREAS, lack of transportation, especially transportation
|
0020| services using vehicles equipped with ramps or wheelchair lifts,
|
0021| is one of the most frequently mentioned problems of persons with
|
0022| disabilities; and
|
0023| WHEREAS, that lack of transportation inhibits the
|
0024| possibilities for persons with disabilities to hold jobs or
|
0025| engage in mainstream societal activities such as voting,
|
0001| shopping, meeting and worshipping; and
|
0002| WHEREAS, several state and federally funded programs are
|
0003| directed at providing transportation services and accessible
|
0004| vehicles for persons with disabilities; and
|
0005| WHEREAS, those programs all call for maximum coordination
|
0006| between programs and communities to meet additional needs of the
|
0007| community; and
|
0008| WHEREAS, other states use a regional provider concept
|
0009| rather than the individual small program grantee approach used
|
0010| in New Mexico; and
|
0011| WHEREAS, individuals with disabilities believe they were
|
0012| not included in the state highway and transportation department
|
0013| planning process, have no member on the newly created
|
0014| transportation planning council and were even denied an adequate
|
0015| opportunity to express their concerns at public hearings on the
|
0016| plan precisely because of inadequate transportation services;
|
0017| NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE
|
0018| STATE OF NEW MEXICO that the governor's committee on concerns of
|
0019| the handicapped be requested to convene and lead a task force to
|
0020| study the issue of transportation needs and the possibility of
|
0021| better coordination of special transportation programs and
|
0022| present its report to the appropriate interim legislative
|
0023| committee no later than September 15, 1996; and
|
0024| BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the task force have broad
|
0025| representation from governmental agencies, service providers and
|
0001| consumers statewide, including the state independent living
|
0002| council, state highway and transportation department,
|
0003| developmental disabilities planning council, state agency on
|
0004| aging, current 16(b)2 recipients and individuals with
|
0005| disabilities; and
|
0006| BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this memorial be
|
0007| transmitted to the governor's committee on the concerns of the
|
0008| handicapped.
