Call-N-Ride Shuttle to UC Health Campus
Purpose
UC Health has built a medical complex southwest of 65th Avenue and US Highway 34 Bypass, addressed as 6767 W 29th ST, Greeley, CO 80634. This area is not covered by our current fixed route system and is outside the coverage area for our paratransit service. Greeley Medical Clinic, Peakview Medical Center, and other doctors and specialists under the UC Health system have communicated to their patients, staff, and the community that the facilities and doctors will be relocating to the new UC Health campus beginning the 2nd quarter of 2019. GET is aware of customers who go to these medical facilities for work or to meet the customer’s medical needs.
To assist the customers in getting to work or meeting their choice of medical needs to UC Health, Greeley Evans Transit will extend the service area to include the UC Health Campus only, and not to include any other areas passed by or affected by the extension of this service area.
Eligible Paratransit Customers
Greeley Evans Transit will provide the standarized door-to-door service to the paratransit customers needing to go their doctor or meet their other medical need(s) and choosing to go to UC Health. If the conditions of eligibility for the trip do not meet the conditions listed for a conditionally eligible customer, the customer must then follow the procedures for the general public. No changes are necessary to the current process of scheduling a paratransit ride.
General Public
Greeley Evans Transit will provide a standardized curb-to-curb service for customers needing to go their doctor or meet their other medical need choosing to go to UC Health. The customer may call into GET dispatch at least a day in advance, and up to 14-days in advance to set up a Call-N-Ride trip. Same day trips may be accepted, subject to vehicle and seating availability.
The round trip will be scheduled to pick up the customer at the Greeley Mall Transfer Center or the Greeley Evans Regional Transit Center. The vehicle will take the customer to the main entrance of the UC Health hospital and return to the respective transfer centers. To maximize efficiency, customers with appointments within the same reasonable time frame will be scheduled together, with the potential of being dropped off up to one hour before the appointment and being picked up as late as one hour as the requested time. It is the responsibility of the customer to make sure they are at the proper location for pick up at the scheduled time provided by dispatch and any transportation means to meet that scheduled time. The customer is also responsible for any transportation necessary after they arrive upon return at the Greeley Mall Transfer Center or the Greeley Evans Regional Transit Center and getting to their next desired destination.
The first time a general public customer calls in to place a trip request, the customer will have to build a profile. Additional questions of the customer may be asked including, but not limited to: Name, Mailing Address, Phone Number, E-Mail Address, Mobility Status, etc.
Seating Capacity
The standard seating capacity on any of our Call-N-Ride vehicles is eight passengers with three wheelchair-seating areas, totaling eleven passengers. Due to COVID-19 pandemic, and under the guidance of local, state, and federal health guidelines, our current capacity for all buses is 50% of standard capacity. Seatbelts are available and required for all passengers. “Standing Room Only” will not be allowed on this service.
Fares
Each rider will be charged $3.00 per person, each way for this service. Fare policies established for guests and Personal Care Attendants will apply. Transfers from the fixed route service to the Call-N-Ride service will not be valid, as the Call-N-Ride vehicles are not equipped to accept or produce transfers. Customers using passes (24-Hour, 31-Day, 90-Day, Annual, etc.) will not be able to utilize them on this Call-N-Ride service for the same reason. Customers may purchase bulk Call-N-Ride tickets or punch cards to use for the listed price (currently $48.00 for 20 rides).
No Show/Late Cancellation Policy
The current policy applies to all riders of this Call-N-Ride service. Any cancellation within two-hours of the scheduled time will be considered a late cancellation. Any person who does not show for their appointed time will be deemed a no-show. Excessive late cancellations and/or no shows will results in suspension from utilizing any applicable Paratransit and Call-N-Ride service.
Bicycles
Due to the inability to properly and safely secure bicycles on the Call-N-Ride vehicles, bicycles will not be allowed on board. They can be locked up at the bike racks at the Greeley Mall Transfer Center or the Greeley Evans Regional Transit Center and retrieved upon return.
Walk-Ups
Walk-Ups to the bus at the Greeley Mall Transfer Center and at the UC Health Campus will be accepted, subject to seating availability. The driver shall collect the contact information for the rider (name, address, phone number) on a provided form and drop off to dispatch at the end of shift.
General Public Pickup and Dropoff Points
The pickup and drop off point at the Greeley Mall Transfer Center will be at the Transfer Center Island. If necessary, the alternative points will be at the movie theater on the south side.
The pickup and drop off point at the Greeley Evans Regional Transit Center will be at Bus Bay #8, near the entrance of the transit center off of A Street.
The pickup and drop off point at the UC Health campus will be the curb in front of the main parking lot to UC Health on 29th Street.
