Transit Part 9: Summary of Program Implementation

Successful development of my program requires that all who are affected by it be respected during all aspects of development, fine-tuning, and implementation.  Developing a more specific set of steps for doing this is best done on a group type level.

Transit Part 9: Potential Care Provider Objections

In addition to sharing the objections of customers, care providers may also have the following objections.

Transit Part 9: Summary of Care Provider Benefits

In addition to experiencing the benefits of customers, care providers will also experience the following benefits.

Transit Part 9: Help Them to Help Us

By getting Care Providers involved very early, they will actually be our strongest “front line alleys” in terms of helping their disabled clients to work with us.

Transit Part 9: Show Them More Options

Taking time to show care providers how my program will allow them and their clients to have more freedom of movement will go a long way toward winning their support.

Transit Part 9: Care Provider Involvement

Care providers are perhaps our most powerful allys.

Transit Part 9: Potential Public Objections

Potential objections the public may raise and possible responses are:

Buying property and building Hubs is going to cost more money, not less.

Transit Part 9: Summary of Public Benefits

Upon successful implementation of my program:

My program will be able to transport an average of more passengers per hour than under the current system.  This will allow para-transit service providers to transport more passengers with the same resources.  This will mean fewer buses adding to the volume of vehicles contributing to traffic congestion.

Transit Part 9: Inviting Private Donations

Once the general public, passengers, employees, companies, and lobbyists are all on board with the development and implementation of my program, approaching potential sources of donation, including from wealthy private sources looking for good causes to support (in return for advantageous tax right-offs) will help to foster broad by-partisan support.

Transit Part 9: General Public Support

For the most part, the general public believes what they hear the most, especially when it comes over the various news services.  Lobbyists and politicians are masters at generating publicity for the purpose of winning public support for whatever cause they believe in.

Transit Part 9: ADA Lobbyist Support

The ADA lobbyists simply want to know that something will actually help those whose cause they are lobbying for and they will support it.  The challenge will be in showing them how my program will support and advance the cause of equality for the disabled.  Lobbyists for Labor need to see how my program will create opportunity for improvement in areas important to Labor.  Labor and ADA lobbyists working together would help move support for my program through government channels and red tape more effectively than without.

Approaching these people should be done before approaching government.  In doing this, once Lobbyists are on board with us, they will then employ their considerable skill in helping us to win government support.  They will also be important in helping us to win the support of the general public.

Thank you for taking time to read my program.  Obviously, if I didn't believe in my own program, I would not have published it for others to read and ponder on.

Transit Part 9: Government Support

Winning broad government support will require a multi-pronged approach.

Transit Part 9: Winning Broad Public Support

I believe that for the most part, the American people are a very caring people.  I believe that, when they truly understand the need and reason for something, and can see it as a good thing, they will support it, even when it is a hard thing.

Transit Part 9: Potential Transit Service Provider Objections

Potential objections some service providers may raise and possible responses are:

The time and cost of a new routing system will be tremendous.

Transit Part 9: Summary of Transit Service Provider Benefits

Upon successful implementation of my program:

Companies will be able to average more passengers per hour.

Transit Part 9: Recognize Cost of Change

As part of recognizing the cost of (1) research and development; and, (2) startup costs, that will be associated with my program, I recommend that we look for and seek to obtain grants and other sources of donated funds to help cover as much of the cost of getting my program up and running as possible.

Transit Part 9: Seeing Change as Positive

Companies and organizations must operate within a budget.  Even non-profit companies must at least bring in as much as they spend.

Transit Part 9: Transit Service Provider Involvement

Perhaps the two most expensive aspects of doing business (including the business of operating a transit service provider organization) is the cost of starting up anything new along with the cost of research and development before you are even ready to start up.

Transit Part 9: Potential Employee Objections

Potential objections some employees may raise and possible responses are:

I like the fact that under our current system, unless there’s a problem, I don’t have anyone looking over my shoulder.

Transit Part 9: Summary of Employee Benefits

Upon successful implementation of my program:

Para-transit employees will have the potential to work a more regular work schedule because buses will be able to average more people per hour.
