Description
House Transportation Committee- April 7, 2021
A
A
C
Are
recognized,
sir?
Thank
you
chairman
and
committee.
I'll
be
brief.
I
know
I
went
along
in
the
subcommittee
and
I'll
try
to
summarize
here,
but
I
want
to
be
on
record
as
best
I
can.
As
we've
talked
about
this
chairman
generally
under
president
law,
the
primary
primary
responsibility
for
enforcing
traffic
laws
within
the
limits
of
a
municipality
is
on
the
municipality.
C
There
is
a
4.2
mile
stretch
on
I-269
that
I
am
alluding
to
that
will
allow
the
city
of
piperton
to
patrol
that
area
and
as
we
have
discussed,
and
I'm
sure
that
chairman
whitson
will
also
make
a
point
as
well
on
this
as
as
well
as
I
know
you
have
mr
chairman
in
the
past.
So
so
I
I
will
yield
to
my
my
good
friend
chairman
whitson,
at
your
discretion.
A
D
D
The
concern
I
have
there
is
is,
is
maybe
an
overreach
potentially
from
a
local
community,
getting
ticket
happy
and
generating
some
revenues
that
they
otherwise.
Wouldn't
we
see
that
across
the
state
in
small
towns
that
get
the
ability
without
an
interstate,
but
just
with
a
with
a
highway,
they
have
put
up
cameras.
They've
done
a
lot
of
things
over
the
years
that
that
strictly
are
generating
revenue,
and
this
general
assembly
and
past
general
assemblies
have
have
frowned
upon
that.
D
C
C
I'm
willing
to
go
out
on
limb
and
give
them
a
chance
to
do
that,
and
that's
what
I'm
asking
this
committee
to
follow
me
to
the
high
ground
here
with
our
law
enforcement
and
give
them
the
ability
to
do
that.
And
if
this
becomes
a
concern
as
a
speed
trap,
as
you
have
alluded
to
that,
that
is
obviously
a
great
concern
to
our
constituents
and
and
to
this
body
as
well.
So
I
hope
that
kind
of
answers.
Your
question
there,
chairman
todd
representative.
E
C
Mr
chairman,
I
don't
want
to
abuse
the
rules,
so
I'm
being
I'm
trying
to
be
good
here
so
representative
thompson,
I
I
do
not
know
the
answer
to
that.
It
obviously
gets
into
a
another
sector
of
inside
the
city
of
piperton
with
their
finances,
and
that's
not
why
this
why
this
legislation
is
being
brought-
and
I
do
not
have
the
answer
to
that
representative
thompson.
E
It
may,
in
one
sense,
not
be
related,
but
another
since
it
really
is.
I
mean
this
gives
piperton
more
room
to
be
even
a
bigger
speed
trap
than
it
is
now
and-
and
I
think
that's
one
thing
we
have
to
look
at-
we
we
it's
one
thing
to
to
enforce,
speeders
and
in
in
reckless
drivers
and
everything,
but
when
you're,
you
purposely
put
your
your
patrol
vehicles
in
ways
to
catch
people
going
very
minimal
amount
of
miles
above
the
speed
limit.
F
C
A
C
G
Thank
you,
mr
chairman,
and
thank
you
for
that.
For
that
information,
I
think
I
heard
you
say
earlier
on
the
first
round
of
questioning
that
that
this
wasn't
necessarily
about
speeding,
but
more
so
you
know
the
potential
for
drug
trafficking.
So
I
guess
my
my
question:
is
this
bill
to
enforce
or
take
down
speeding
during
this
in
this
stretch,
or
is
it
about
something
else.
C
Represented
again,
this
would
allow
the
city
of
piperton
police
department
to
patrol
this
area.
The
adjacent
city
to
the
west
is
the
city
of
collierville,
which
my
colleague,
representative,
kevin
vaughn,
represents
the
city
of
collierville,
already
patrols,
a
contiguous
portion
that
connects
to
this
4.2
miles
that
I'm
talking
about
that's
in
my
district.
C
So
this
helps
those
two
law
enforcements
work
together
and
become
one
continuity
of
a
section
that
patrols
this
entire
area
of
the
interstate
that
comes
through
there
and,
as
it
goes
back
toward
memphis,
it
does
turn
back
into
385
and
I-269
goes
south
into
mississippi.
This
is
a
new
and
developing
area
and
obviously
the
citizens
were
concerned
about
this-
that
I
did
receive
emails
from
the
citizens
there
in
piperton
asking
for
us
to
vote
in
favor
of
this.
C
So
this
this
is
not
something
that's
coming
from
the
blind
side
of
looking
at
this.
From
that
perspective,
this
is
a
bedroom
community
and
I
think
it's
upon
us
here
to
give
the
city
of
piperton
to
prove
that
safety
is
the
number
one
concern
here
and
and
and
again
I
I
ask
you
to
follow
me
to
the
high
ground
and
join
our
law
enforcement
and
put
the
trust
in
them
to
do
the
right
thing
here
now.
Obviously,
if
you're
out
there
on
this
interstate
and
you're,
speeding
in
an
excessive.
C
So,
mr
chairman,
I
think
there
there's
room
to
have
an
argument
here,
but
at
the
same
time
you
know
it's
our
law
enforcement's
responsibility
to
protect
the
citizens
and
the
motorists
around
them
as
they
travel
through
this
area,
but
as
a
as
I've
said,
if
this
becomes
deemed
a
speed
trap
and
it
comes
to
my
attention
in
several
complaints
and-
and
we
all
know
that
that's
that's
a
great
possibility.
So
with
that,
mr
chairman,
I
hope
I've
done
your
committee
justice
in
explaining
what
we're
trying
to
attempt
here.
H
Thank
you,
mr
chairman,
and
thank
you
sponsor
just.
I
have
a
quick
question
because
I
was
looking
at
the
description
here
about
ten
thousand
left
it
it.
Actually,
you
know
my
the
city
that
I
live
in
or
the
town
that
I
live
in.
This
describes
it
exactly.
We
would
it
not
apply
to
that
too.
I
live
in
the
city
of
caribel.
We
have
two
interchanges.
H
H
I
mean
I
support
your
bill
and
I
hope
it
does
apply
to
where
I
live,
because
we
have
a
high
number
of
I-75
goes
through.
There
have
a
high
number
of
accidents
through
there
and
a
lot
of
drug
drug
trafficking,
like
you
were
talking
about
a
while
ago
on
I-75
on
that
stretch,
so
I
hope
it
would
apply
and-
and
I
support
your
bill-
I
just
wondered,
but
it
looks
like
it
described
my
town
too,
along
with
yours,
but
we'll
we'll
check
with
legal
and
and
find
out
against
it.
Okay,
okay,
thank
you.
I
A
H
Thank
you,
mr
chairman.
Thank
you
sponsor
for
this
legislation,
I'll
be
supporting
it
because
of
the
traffic
fatality
numbers.
I
think
it's
going
to
make
our
states
safer.
I
did
have
one
quick
question
about
the
interstate
being
a
federal
road
road.
Did
you
check
into
any
federal
rules
about
the
state
versus
local
municipalities,
enforcing
traffic
laws.
C
H
H
C
Thank
you,
mr
chairman.
Thank
you
speaker
pro
temp.
Believe
me.
These
police
officers
know
when
they
pull
you
over
what
jurisdiction
they're
in.
So
I
I
don't
know
how
to
really
answer
that
question
other
than
the
police
officer
should
know
where
he's
where
he's
currently
at
when
he's,
given
that
ticket.
A
C
A
C
A
Okay,
so
you've
been
working
on
this
quite
a
while
any
further
questions
from
the
committee.
Seeing
none
we're
ready
to
vote
on
house
bill,
532
all
in
favor,
say
aye
aye,
all
opposed,
nay
eyes
have
it.
The
bill
goes
to
calendar
and
rules.
Sir,
thank
you,
chairman
and
committee.
Moving
on
to
item
number
two
house
bill,
236.
A
J
But
I
would
like
to
note
that
this
is
a
a
legitimate
and
serious
problem
in
our
city
and
I'm
sure
many
of
you
saw
the
photo
that
was
circulating.
Some
of
some
of
you
sent
that
to
me,
and
there
has
to
be
a
way
for
this
to
stop
and
it's
not
going
to
stop
here.
It's
coming
coming
to
your
community
very
soon,
and
so
with
that.
A
A
I
will
tell
the
committee
that
we
have
an
agreement
from
the
speaker
that
we
will
have
a
hearing
sometime
in
september,
on
this
very
issue
for
the
purpose
of
trying
to
bring
all
of
these
parties
together,
because
that
seems
to
be
something
we've
not
been
able
to
do,
but
we'll
we'll
give
it
a
shot,
and
hopefully
we
can
get
this
resolved.
So
without
objection.
The
bill
is
rolled
to
the
first
calendar
of
next
year.
Thank.
H
A
A
K
A
K
K
K
A
Without
objection
we're
out
of
session,
we
will
ask
mr
bill
kemp
to
come
forward
and
offer
us
your
sound
advice
on
this
particular
bill.
Oh,
I
believe
lisa
kroll
is
that
the
thing
I
believe
you're
invited
forward
too
if
you'd
like
to
come,
and
you
can
also,
if
you're
comfortable,
you
can
remove
your
mask
so
that
the
people
at
home
can
see
who
they're
looking
at-
and
I
was
instructed
by
the
leader
by
the
way,
mr
kemp,
to
be
very
kind
to
you,
because
you're
also
his
clerk
and
so
hit
the
red
button.
A
L
L
There
were
several
questions
at
the
subcommittee
level
with
county
clerks
bill,
kemp
sumner,
county
clerk,
I'm
one
of
the
new
york
county
clerks,
I'm
just
finishing
my
31st
year,
so
I'm
I've
been
doing
it
for
a
little
while,
and
so
I'm
I'm
here
to
try
to
help
represent
my
county
clerks
and
and
answer
a
few
questions
that
that
were
that
had
that
we
had
at
subcommittee.
First,
we
county
clerks
are
very
serious
about
convenience
to
the
customers.
L
L
L
There
was
a
a
statement
about
24-month
renewal
already
in
place
that
was
brought
up
at
subcommittee.
We
do
have
24-month
renewal.
Currently
it
applies
to
one
company
in
the
state
of
tennessee.
You
have
to
be
a
rental
car
company
and
you
have
to
have
15
000
registrations
to
be
eligible
to
qualify
for
the
24
month.
Registration
currently
that
company
submits
those
registrations
to
different
counties
and
they're
operated
in
batches.
So
they
come
in
some
60,
some
100,
so
they
will
stop
and
create
a
whole
batch
just
for
those
24
month
registrations
and
do
them.
L
L
You
know,
firefighters,
fire
chiefs
have
to
give
us
a
list
of
what
firefighters
get
to
play.
So,
if
somebody's
on
the
volunteer
fire
department
list
this
year,
but
not
on
it
next
year,
they
don't
qualify
for
the
fire
fighter
play,
but
in
in
addition
to
firefighters,
we
have
other
plates
that
have
requirements.
Annual
emergency
plates
fop
plates
national
guard
plates
nar
plates
duck.
Unlimited
tennessee
state
guard
sororities,
fraternities
amateur
radio
plates.
All
of
those
are
examples
of
plates
that
require
annual
documentation.
L
Before
we
can
renew,
will
those
plates
be
eligible
for
the
two-year
renewal?
At
this
point
we
don't
know
because
we
don't
know
what
the
rules
are
going
to
be.
Are
we
going
to
have
to
tell
those
people?
No,
you
cannot
renew
for
two
years,
but
the
person
next
in
line.
Yes,
you
can
so
that's
a
question
that
we
have.
There
was
a
question
about
whether
or
not
this
was
permissive.
L
We
asked
ctas
to
review
the
bill
for
us
and,
yes,
we
do
believe
it's
permissive
for
the
individual,
but
as
we
read
it,
it
is
not
permissive
for
the
county
or
the
county
clerk.
So
that's
one
question
we
have
and
the
permission
whether
the
bill
is
permissive
or
not.
It's
not
permissive
for
the
local
government,
so
what
we
are
we
as
county
clerks
as
being
the
administrators
of
the
bill?
It
appears
to
us
that
we're
saying
we're
going
to
put
this
two-year
registration
in
the
law
and
we're
going
to
answer
the
questions.
L
F
Yes,
thank
you,
sir,
and
we
appreciate
you
coming
and
giving
that
information
to
us
yeah.
My
concern
is
we're
still
dealing
with
this
emissions
testing
in
several
of
our
counties
across
the
state
and
until
that's
answered
too,
this
caused
confusion,
and
I,
like
your
comment,
that
you
know
until
we
find
out
that
we
work
this,
and
I
think
this
is
a
great
idea.
I
love
the
idea
of
a
24
month.
In
fact,
I
carried
the
legislation
for
the
24
month
for
the
rental
cars,
so
I'm
very
familiar
with
it.
L
H
L
Currently,
insurance
with
the
insure
tennessee,
if
your
insurance
goes
without
even
after
the
first
month,
if
you
renew
and
one
month
later,
your
insurance,
if
you
don't
pay
that
monthly
insurance,
you
get
a
letter
from
insure
tennessee
telling
you,
if
you
don't,
have
insurance
on
file
within
30
days,
you're
going
to
get
a
fine
25
fine.
And
then,
if
you
don't
answer
that
letter,
you
get
another
letter
telling
you.
If
you
don't
answer
this
letter,
you're
going
to
get
a
100
fine
on
top
of
that,
so
then
you
get
to
125!
L
Then
when
you
come
to
renew
your
license
plate,
you
have
125,
that's
required
to
be
paid.
Not
only
that
you're
required
to
have
proof
of
insurance
and
pay
the
125
dollars,
so
it
could.
The
insurance
is
a
big
question.
If
people
could
run
two
years
instead
of
the
one
year
before
we,
the
county
clerks,
are
the
stop
gap
to
make
them
pay
before
their
car
tags
are
renewed.
H
L
And
that
was
a
question
that
subcommittee.
That
I
did
not
answer
is
what,
if
a
wheel
tax
goes
up
during
the
two-year
cycle?
Well,
you're,
not
those
people
are
not
going
to
volunteer
to
come
back
in
and
pay
their
prorated
share.
I'm
sure,
but
my
my
concern
is
more
adverse
selection.
What
if
the
wheel
tax
is
going
up
at
the
first
of
the
month,
how
many
people
are
going
to
come
in
and
renew
for
two
years
before
the
first
of
the
month
as
many
as
possible?
L
At
that
moment,
they
may
have
a
a
paper
piece
of
paper
that
shows
they're
good
for
six
months,
but
the
database
is
going
to
show
they're
out
of
insurance
so
that
electronic
verification
is
what's
it's
what's
there
and
then,
if
they
have,
if
they
don't
get
pulled
over
in
that
year
by
the
time
they
get
to
us,
that's
when
they
have
to
pay
the
full
and
actually
it's
150.
If
they
get
to
us
and
have
to
pay,
they
have
to
pay
the
125
dollars
plus
25.
L
A
M
Hi,
I'm
lisa
crowell,
I'm
the
county
clerk
for
rutherford
county
bill
did
a
fabulous
job
in
explaining
this
again.
The
county,
clerk's
association,
the
24
month.
Registration
idea
is,
is
a
good
one.
However,
there's
just
so
many
unanswered
questions
right
now
that
bill
demonstrated
and
more
will
come
to
light
if
this
was
to
go
forward
without
it
it
being
figured
out
on
the
front
end,
you
know
the
county
clerks
and
our
staff
we're
the
ones
that
have
to
deliver.
M
M
M
A
Okay,
thank
you
members.
We
can.
We've
got
several
more
members
on
the
list,
but
let
me
just
pose
a
question.
We've
got
some
other
things.
We
have
to
do
plus
a
report,
I'm
going
to
address
the
sponsor
and
ask
the
sponsor.
Based
on
what
I'm
hearing
it
sounds
like
people
like
your
idea,
but
we
don't
like
the
fact
that
it's
not
fully
vetted
yet.
A
A
K
Now
I
love
this.
I
love
the
discussion.
I
love
you.
The
fact
that
we
have
the
experts
here
that
we
can
ask
these
questions
to,
and
we
really
got
a
lot
done
today,
so
I
don't
feel
it
was
in
vain,
but
I
do
want
to
work
forward
on
it
and
see
how
we
could
possibly
think
going
forward
on
this,
and
you
know
it
it's
a
great
idea
for
citizens,
but,
as
you
know,
we
got
to
work
it
out
before
we
can
actually
make
it
into
law.
K
H
A

Mr
chairman,
this
allows
the
county,
clerk's
or
contracted
entity
to
collect
an
additional
one
dollar
per
license
issued
to
the
customer.
This
is
permissive
based
on
jurisdiction
and
it
authorizes
contracting
entities
who
are
issuing
the
real
id
compliant
license
to
receive
three
dollars
per
license
from
the
department
of
safety
for
services
rendered.
N
A
A
O
O
A
O
A
A
G
Thank
you
yes,
sir.
Thank
you,
mister
and,
and
it's
just
it's
just
a
question
of
process.
So
I'm
looking
at
one
and
two,
and
it
may
just
be
the
way
that
they're
that
they're
laid
out
that
they
don't
seem
to
be
a
state
road.
So
I
just
want
to
get
an
understanding
on.
Does
this
committee
name
things
that
aren't
state
roads?
What's
what's
what's
our
jurisdiction
again,
just
questionable
information
determine
how
you
are
recognized.
I
Joel
hayes
office
of
legal
services-
representative
mckenzie,
yes,
I
mean
technically
all
roads
in
the
state
are
can
be
considered.
You
know,
even
though
it
may
be
destined
as
a
county
road
state
does
have
authority
can
have
authority
over
those
roads
as
well.
So
we
do
name
and
have
historically
named
certain
county
and
municipal
roads
as
well
as
state
roads.
H
I
Well,
representative,
towns,
municipalities
and
counties
still
have
authority
to
name
city
and
county
roads.
Most
of
these
namings
that
are
in
this
on
this
bill
are
honorary
namings,
and
so
they,
those
honorary
namings,
do
not
change
or
redesignate
addresses,
or
anything
like
that.
On
these
municipal
county
roads.
O
A
Thank
you,
chairman
hall,
appreciate
it
without
objection,
members
we
are
going
to
go
out
of
session
and
hear
our
first
report,
as
required
by
statute
from
the
office
of
accessible
transportation
and
the
director
suzanne
carlson
is
here
and
we're
glad
to
see
you
and
excited
to
hear
about
the
first
year
of
operation
of
the
office
of
accessible
transportation,
and
my
comment
you
may
refer
to
this
too.
That
tennessee
was
the
first
state
in
the
nation
to
create
such
an
office
and
it
came
through
this
committee.
H
Elliott,
deputy
commissioner
chief
of
environment
and
planning
with
the
tdot-
and
it
is
my
honor
and
privilege
to
have
both
the
director
of
mobility
of
our
multimodal
division,
suzanne
carlson
and
then
emily
ducheck
with
the
office
of
accessibility
and
mobility.
A
lot
of
great
work
has
been
undertaken
since
you
passed
this
law
last
year
and
it's
great
for
us
to
be
able
to
present
that
to
you.
So
thank
you
for
the
opportunity,
great
great
glad
to
have
you.
P
P
So
as
noted
just
about
a
year
ago,
march
2020,
the
accessible
transportation
and
mobility
act
of
2020
was
passed,
which
enabled
tdot
to
get
started
and
set
up
the
office
of
mobility
and
accessible
transportation.
We
currently
have
one
full-time,
employee,
emily
dushock
who's.
Here
with
me,
with
the
second
person
joining
next
week,
we
retained
national
consulting
firm
to
complete
the
work
that
got
us
where
we
are
today.
P
You
can
see
some
of
our
our
partners
on
the
slide
here.
Our
key
partners
included
experts
in
transportation,
aging,
disa
and
people
with
disabilities,
including
users
of
accessible
transportation
and
the
target
population
that
we're
speaking
to
today
is
persons
with
disability
and
older
adults
who
use
these
services.
P
Through
these,
this
outreach
effort,
we
identified
three
priority
areas
that
really
came
up
quite
a
bit,
which
was
shrinking
gaps
in
accessible
and
accessible
transportation,
establishing
a
pathway
to
integrated
policies
and
collaboration
and
strengthening
transportation
independence
so
that
people
across
tennessee
can
get
other
homes
and
have
the
freedom
to
get
to
their
destinations.
Thank
you.
As
we
drill
down
into
the
three
priority
areas
and
development
of
the
strategic
plan,
we
identified
five
targeted
goals
which
are
are
on
the
slide
here
as
well.
P
So
the
first
is
expanded
access,
improving
access
to
services
across
communities,
service
solutions,
so
identifying
common
barriers
to
service
and
developing
solutions
to
those
collaboration,
so
building
collaboration
and
partnerships
to
maximize
use
of
financial
resources
solutions.
So
customer
creating
customer
focused
services
where
there's
public
information
and
diverse
access
to
the
information
to
get
these
services
across
tennessee
and
improving
communication
between
transit
providers
and
users
of
of
transportation
services.
P
Beginning
with
our
needs
assessment,
as
mentioned,
we
looked
at
the
existing
transportation
services
and
what
you're
seeing
on
the
map
here
is
the
transportation
providers
across
the
state.
So,
as
you
probably
know,
we
do
have
public
transit
in
all
95
counties
across
tennessee,
which
is
fantastic
and
it's
a
great
resource.
Some
areas,
especially
areas
with
higher
population.
There
are
more
service
providers,
there's
multiple
options
and,
as
you
see
on
the
map
here
in
the
lighter
colors
there's
some
communities
that
really
have
one
provider
and
fewer
options
for
transportation
as
well.
P
Again,
on
the
needs
assessment,
we
looked
at
the
transportation
needs
and
gaps.
These
were
the
themes
that
came
forward
through
the
outreach
and
engagement
process
that
we
did
and
these
are
not
presented
in
any
priority
order.
This
is
somewhat
of
what
we
heard
and
what
the
common
themes
were.
So
personal
assistance
was
one
people
getting
assistance
to
get
to
the
vehicle
or
into
the
vehicle
misperceptions.
So
a
lot
of
people
don't
know
that
we
do
have
transit
in
every
state.
Excuse
me
in
every
county
or
what
the
eligibility
requirements
are.
P
So
sometimes
there's
misperception
independence
being
able
to
get
a
trip
when
you
need
it
and
to
multiple
locations
without
having
to
go
through
an
advanced
reservation
process
that
can
be
a
barrier
limited
weekend
and
nighttime
options,
limited
funding
and
that's
really
the
foundation
for
a
lot
of
the
the
barriers
that
we
see.
If
we
have
more
funding
in
the
system,
we
can
provide
more
services
and
more
accessibility.
P
Continuing
with
the
needs
and
gaps.
Affordable
fares
to
the
user
was
another
another
barrier
identified.
Sidewalk
improvements
are
needed
so
that
people
can
access,
particularly
a
fixed
route
transit
system,
whether
they're
in
a
wheelchair
or
walking
and
they've
got
a
pathway
to
get
there
options
for
specialized
services.
P
So
in
this
case
you
know
we
have
a
diverse
range
of
abilities
and
disabilities
and
some
people
need
specialized
services,
whether
it's
a
special
type
of
vehicle
or
specialized
assistance
to
get
to
it
into
it.
First
mile
last
mile,
again
getting
to
that
transit
route
or
system
or,
more
importantly,
getting
across
a
jurisdictional
boundary
where
you
may
need
to
take
one
provider
to
the
county
line
and
get
to
another
provider
to
get
to
your
destination
and
then,
lastly
volunteer
transportation.
P
So
then
we
started
looking
at
the
accessible
transportation
solutions
and
what
we
could
do
to
overcome
some
of
these
barriers
and
improve
service.
One
one
that
was
identified
at
the
stage
in
the
process
is
creating
a
state
clearinghouse
of
the
funding
programs,
whether
state
or
federal,
increasing
the
connectivity
at
the
local
level
developing
performance
measures.
P
So
we
have
a
road
map
of
where
we're
going
investing
in
transportation
options,
so
we
can
hire
more
drivers
and
perform
provide
more
operating
funds
to
provide
service
and
then
also
that
personalized
assistance
that
is
often
needed
and
again
giving
people
the
freedom
and
the
access
to
those
services.
So
they
can
get
to
their
get
to
their
destinations
and
get
out
of
their
homes.
P
Accessible
trans
continue
with
the
transportation
solutions,
also
clarifying
or
simplifying
the
eligibility
rule,
sort
of
translating
what
the
federal
or
state
rules
may
be.
So
people
get
access
and
in
some
cases,
informing
the
rulemaker
that
there
we
maybe
need
a
change.
We
may
need
a
different
policy
to
help
provide
that
accessibility
and
then,
lastly,
implementing
and
expanding
technology
choices,
and
this
is
one
that
we're
already
at
work
on
developing
some
transfer.
P
Last
slide.
Wrapping
up
our
next
steps
are
going
to
be
to
continue
this
analysis
and
refine
our
objectives
and
really
drill
down
on
that
five-year
plan,
identifying
increased
capacity
to
do
the
work
and
building
on
the
successful
strategies
that
we've
identified
in
place
today
and
then
cultivating
new
opportunities
to
make
transportation
more
accessible.
P
I
A
Questions
or
comments
for
the
director,
let
me
just
say
how
gratifying
this
is
to
see
this
take
shape.
It's
not
often
you
get
to
see
the
results
of
a
bill
that
you
passed,
and
I'm
also
glad
to
see
the
co-sponsor
of
that
bill
sitting
over
here
on
the
right
chairman,
jernigan
and
I'm
glad
you
came
in
to
see
this
presentation
and
it's
it's
really
encouraging
to
see
that
the
progress
you've
made,
and
it's
also,
I
think,
important,
to
note
that
this
office
was
created
with
at
no
cost
to
the
tennessee
taxpayer.
A
H
P
That
is
a
challenge
and
emily
may
be
able
to
speak
to
this
further,
but
you
typically
need
an
advanced
reservation,
and
so
you
need
to
schedule
a
time
and
a
destination,
and
then
the
vehicle
may
need
to
wait
for
you.
So
by
the
time
you're
done
with
that
doctor's
appointment,
you
may
not
be
able
to
to
retain
that
vehicle
to
get
you
to
the
next
two
stops
that
you
need
to
make
in
your
day.
B
B
We
had
about
230
focus
group
participants
and
almost
900
survey
responses,
and
one
of
the
issues
that
we
identified
in
those
responses
is
that
people
find
it
difficult
to
schedule
a
trip
that
meets
all
of
their
needs
at
one
time
so,
depending
on
where
you're
at
it
may
be
possible
to
go
to
multiple
destinations
with
one
provider
and
then
someone
in
another
area
may
have
to
make
multiple
reservations.
So
if
they
need
to
go
to
three
stops,
they
might
need
to
make
three
trip
reservations,
which
can
be
really
difficult.
H
H
B
A
F
Yes,
thank
you,
chairman
howe,
and
I
just
want
to
say
before
we
adjourn.
I
just
want
to
tell
you
how
much
we
appreciate
your
leadership
and
on
this
committee
it's
been
a
a
real
pleasure
serving
with
you,
sir,
oh
and
ever
since
I've
been
up
here,
you've
been
a
mentor
and
a
friend
and
a
trusted
advisor,
and
I
it's
just
a
pleasure
to
be
on
your
committee.
A
A
Oh
okay,
thank
you
all
right.
I
just
I
appreciate
this
entire
committee,
each
one
of
you,
it's
a
pleasure
to
work
with
you
and
we
have
diverse
views
and
you
always
add
something
to
the
conversation,
and
I
learned
something
every
time
we
have
a
an
interesting
bill
and
the
questions
arise.
I
learn
something
about
every
time
we
have
a
committee
meeting
and
it's
been
a
pleasure
working
with
each
and
every
one
of
you.
