QuadCo's development of the Human Service Transportation Plan for <br />Adams, Grant, Kittitas, and Lincoln counties included surveying individuals with special needs <br />in each county. From the survey results for Kittitas County, 56% of those surveyed utilized <br />HopeSource. The transportation is essential for accessing health care, nutrition, senior centers, <br />job training and other basic services. <br />HopeSource, a community action agency, has continued to respond to the essential transportation <br />needs of Kittitas County's citizens with safe and reliable transportation service. We recognize the <br />vital service that HopeSource provides to the rural residents of Kittitas County and we encourage <br />continues support so that Kittitas County may retain the HopeSource Transit System Dial -A -Ride <br />service. <br />Sincerely, MSTAINED <br />Obie O' n, Chairman <br />Paul Jewell, Vice- airman <br />aura Osiadacz, Board Member <br />Kittitas County Courthouse . 205 West 5'"Avenue, STE 108 Ellensburg, WA 98926 <br />(509) 962-7508 -FAX (509) 962-7679 <br />www.co.kittitas.wa.us <br />
