Sample Report of
Voucher Trips for SYC
Currently taxi voucher vendors enter redeemed
vouchers directly into the Mobility Activities
Recording System (MARS) database and
MARS tracks them and provides reports. The
vouchers themselves are then sent on to Kevin
for verification and final approval.
MARS reports are also the basis for determining
how much to reimburse taxi vendors for voucher
services. He forwards this information onto
Accounts Payable where they process claims
and pay the vendors claim.
3
Could you also please supply a
sample of the reporting forms for the
RIDES and senior discount taxi
vouchers?

On your website it is indicated that
Senior Shuttles are designed to go
where surveyed seniors requested to
travel. What surveying was done to
make that determination and is the
percentage of senior ridership tracked
on those routes currently.
Meetings were held with the residents who lived in
large senior housing developments along the
routes. They helped design and schedule the routes
based on where and when they wanted to go. No
scientific surveys were done on these routes and
ridership of seniors is not tracked separately.
5
What is the anticipated study time
frame? Are there anticipated dates
for implementation of the program,
since receipt of funds begins April
1st?
We would like to have the report completed by our
December board meeting – December 14, 2015.

How many copies of the RFP
response does MST want to
receive? RFP says 1 original and

We would like to have the report completed by our
