Transport

Township.

You've raised these concerns directly with Transport and Main Roads.

What have you asked them to do?

Well, mostly we've obviously tackled the angle of safety.

They see that 60 kilometres, the law of buying a citizen is they do the 60 kilometres and then they find themselves in a much worse position on the other side by getting stuck.

So the removal of the 60 kilometre sign, but the long-term fix is a whole realignment of that section.

Flinders Shire Mayor Kate Peddle speaking to Kavina Kumar and a spokesperson for the Department of Transport and Main Roads says preparations are underway to seal the remaining 11 kilometre unsealed section of the Kennedy Developmental Road and to improve drainage.

Hello, welcome to the Talking Michigan Transportation Podcast.

I'm Jeff Cranston.

This week, I wanted to recap some of the major road projects that are coming to completion across the state.

But mostly we talked about projects across the state and where things stand and what we'll be seeing in coming years.

So I hope you enjoy the conversation.

So once again, I'm with Gregg Brunner, who is the Chief Operations Officer at the Michigan Department of Transportation.

Every year around this time, I like to talk to him about what's been accomplished during the construction season.

We're at the end of October, which means most of the work is winding down.

Here, tickets jump to $170 because you add Tut and Abu Simbel.

Transport is about $130.

Food is estimated at $150.

And

That's a little more than $1.

When you use a transportation card, 교통카드.

So that's for a trip of up to 10 kilometers, and longer trips can cost a little more.

But when you think about how far the subway can take you, it's really

Right, right.

And it is.

So, and remember to tap your transportation card when you get off the bus too.

And that's important for the transfer discount.

It helps people who may have a disability or are elderly and can't drive themselves to those essential appointments.

So, Nancy, get us started with that thumbnail sketch of what it is you do at Volunteer Assisted Transportation.

we use volunteer drivers like pat so she is a trained volunteer she drives our agency vehicles to transport individuals to medical appointments shopping errands and what makes our program so unique as opposed to any other transportation that's out there is we will stay with the people we transport so it's not just dropping them off and we'll come back and get you when you're done it's assisted transportation.

We help them get out of the car, help them get out of their home, and stay with them at the destination, whether it's shopping or whatever it may be.

So if you think back in time, a situation before the program like this existed, a senior citizen may have to rely on family or a neighbor for a ride or they'd have to call a taxi cab because Uber wouldn't have existed in my imagination in this scenario.

Hey, I know you from somewhere.

Yeah.

So Nancy, how long ago did this volunteer assisted transportation program? We
