nfinished Business
8a. 2027 Budget Ideas or Considerations
County Administrator Mark W. Luberda stated this item is to allow input from committee members on things
they might want Luberda to consider when developing the 2027 budget. Luberda and the committee discussed
in the length the projection charts that were distributed. The chart trendlines would help determine how much
funding would need to be requested in the 2027 budget in order to sustain the increasing trip ratio and service
hours. The committee leaned toward the idea of building in some protection against the state’s access to
needing more hours. This would be accomplished by appropriating additional funds from reserves, in case the
numbers go higher, the County can still argue (should “argue” be “request”?) for the state to release their half
of funding.

9a. Shared-Ride Taxi Rider Fare Evaluation
DRAFT
1 of 38
Walworth County Board of Supervisors
July 6, 2026, Transportation Coordinating
Committee Meeting Minutes
Page 2 of 4
Luberda referred to pages 5 -7 of the packet. Luberda pointed out in the third column the fare box is a percent
of the expenditures. From a geographical standpoint of similarity, Ozaukee and Washington Counties were
used to compare against Walworth County. The two counties are pulling in 17 to 18%. The next page lists
some other county programs that fit in the same tier category as Walworth County. The total tier C was at
17.3% with Walworth County at 6.1% which suggested to Luberda that a fare increase, once all users know the
service is available, is consistent with statewide expectations for the program policy. He is anticipating a fare
increase in the budget. The committee discussed how fares compared to other counties. Chair Stanek requested
that for the next meeting, Ozaukee, Washington, Walworth, Door, and Oneida counties be a part of the
analysis. Sheppard questioned if both Ozaukee and Washington counties have the same medium incomes.
Luberda responded that those counties have larger populations and higher use per capita than Walworth
County. The committee discussed how fare changes might impact ridership and the timing of the changes
relative to the new contract starting. Bobier reminded the committee that the $53.56 that the County pays VIP
Services for every service hour will be going up another 3.5-5% based off the CPI-U for January 1, 2027. The
committee agreed on the need to figure out the trend impacts of the marketing efforts for about a year before
reacting to a fare increase.
9b. Status of Vehicle Purchases using CY2025 5311 Capital Award Grants
Bobier stated that on June 9
th WisDOT sent a notification that they decided not to renew the final year of the
contract for rear-load minivans due to ongoing mechanical issues with control arms. The 2025 capital award
grant agreements cover 80% of the base vehicle cost and have a period of performance through December 31,
2026. The County inquired if the period of performance could be extended to late 2027 so two rear-load
minivans could possibly be bought when the new Human Service Vehicle (HSV) cooperative contract takes
effect on August 1, 2027. WisDOT indicated they were not going to extend the period of performance.
Therefore, the plan is to purchase two rear-loading Ford Transits with an upgraded lift that is 37” wide with a
capacity of 1,000 pounds. The state will amend the current grant agreements for the current amount of
$82,861. The additional total cost to the County for the two Ford Transits is $6,726, which would come out of
operating funds under transportation services. On motion by Davenport, second by Kadlec, to support the
plan presented to the Public Works Committee on July 20th. Motion carried.
Reports
10a. Transportation Financial Summary
Senior Accountant Raul Rivera reported the All Transportation Summary (page 8). He noted the combined
budget utilization goal is 41.7%. Overall combined for both programs is at 33.9%. Budget utilization for
Shared-Ride Taxi is at 34.4%. The budget utilization for Specialized is at 30.5%. Rivera pointed out there was
a reimbursement of $1,060 for Bobier’s WAMM Conference. The quarter one funding for the 85.20 program
was received in the amount of $65,456.
Luberda was excused at 3:08 p.m.

Memorandum
To: Transportation Coordinating Committee
From: Mark W. Luberda, County Administrator
Gene Bobier, Mobility Manager
Date: August 25, 2026
RE: Limited Fare-Free Rides at Outreach Events - Updated
In August 2025, we distributed a memo regarding fare-free rides that discussed the development of a
policy on limited use of fare-free rides for raffle prizes at outreach events or possibl y to remedy a
rider/customer service issue . We wanted to make you aware that we plan to provide two (2) raffle
prizes for the Walworth County Aging Network (WCAN)/ADRC Aging and Abilities Resource Fair on
September 24, 2026.
The image below shows the estimated average value of one (1) raffle prize. Each prize will include
numbered vouchers for four (4) Shared-Ride Taxi (SRT) rides. The vouchers will be very similar to the
agency fare vouchers. Vouchers will indicate they are not applicable for use on Specialized Transit.
We have confirmed the following with WisDOT and the Finance Department on how to process fare-
free ride vouchers as it relates to quarterly reporting:
• Trips are counted as fare-free trips instead of paid/revenue fare trips
• We do not enter any contra (offsetting) expense for the fare-free trips
• Mileage for fare -free trips count as revenue miles because the FTA considers vehicles
operated in fare-free service to be in revenue service
Unless otherwise instructed , we intend to provide two (2) raffle prizes for the Aging and Abilities
Resource Fair on September 24th. The TCC previously approved to provide two (2) raffle prizes for the
resource fair on October 2, 2025, however we did not attend the event because the event date for the
rebranding launch date changed to October 30, 2025.
Please let us know of any questions you may have or of any additional information you may need.

a. For January thru July 2026, overall no-shows were 4%, which is below the benchmark of 5%.
b. SRT for May 2026 had 223 no-shows, which was in part attributed to the transition to the new
transit software system. There were 199 no-shows in June and 225 in July. No-shows in June
and July were not being as closely monitored as they should have been, thus some riders that
should have been suspended were not, which then contributed to subsequent no-shows. VIP
expects the number of no-shows to decrease in August.
c. Employment continues as slightly higher than
Medical trips as the highest percentage of no-shows:

Q
MEET & GREET
WITH GENE BOBIER
Transportation plays a vital role in health equity by connecting
people to jobs, healthcare, food, and community resources. To
highlight this impact, the Health Equity Workgroup is excited to
introduce Walworth County Connect. We sat down with Gene
Bobier, Program Manager-Mobility, for a Q&A on how this service
supports a healthier, more connected community.
[Our] Mission statement: To provide affordable and
dependable transportation options for all Walworth County
residents, including Walworth County’s growing number of
elderly and disabled individuals, employees, employers,
students, shoppers, those seeking medical care, those
seeking recreational opportunities, and those unable to
afford a vehicle of their own.
Can you give a quick overview of what the Walworth
County Connect program is and who it serves?
HEALTH EQUITY WORKGROUP
Walworth County
Program Manager-Mobility
The Shared-Ride Taxi (SRT) service (formerly
Wal-to-Wal DIAL-a-RIDE) is known as ”Walworth
County Connect SHARE RIDE” .
The County has two transportation programs which were rebranded as Walworth County Connect that
officially launched on October 30, 2025.
Began in January 2017
Shared ride service, available to all County
residents for any trip purpose.
Curb-to-curb service with door-to-door upon
request.
Entire county is fully served by Share Ride,
except rides starting and ending in the City of
Whitewater, excluded due to funding rules.
Funding sources include State & Federal
operating grants, County tax levy, and rider fare
revenue.
The Specialized Transit service is known as
“Walworth County Connect CARE RIDE” .
Prior to 2014, Specialized Transit was provided
directly by the County through HHS.
Service outsourced starting in 2014
Provides roundtrip rides to destinations
outside the county for non-emergency
medical appointments for residents that are
aged 60+, people with disabilities, & qualifying
veterans.
Provided primarily within a 70-mile radius of
Elkhorn and other areas within Wisconsin
(including but not limited to, Madison,
Milwaukee, Oshkosh etc) & contiguous Illinois
counties.
Door-to-door service
Funding sources include State operating
grant, Veterans Affairs grant, County tax levy,
and rider fare revenue.

Q
When transportation is
accessible and affordable,
it reduces social isolation,
promotes equity, improves
mental health, lowers
stress and anxiety, and
fosters community
connections.
HEALTH EQUITY WORKGROUP
The County currently contracts with VIP Services, Inc., a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization located in
Elkhorn, to provide transportation services for both programs. Drivers are drug tested, licensed, caregiver-
background checked and CPR trained. All vehicles are equipped with cameras and ramps or lifts. Oversight
inspections are performed quarterly to ensure the SRT program is meeting Federal compliance guidelines.
The County currently owns 24 handicap-accessible vehicles and as part of the services contract they are
leased to VIP Services.
Why is this program important for the overall health and wellbeing of our community?
Transportation affects social wellness by enhancing people's ability to connect with others, access essential
services, and participate in community life. When transportation is accessible and affordable, it reduces
social isolation, promotes equity, improves mental health, lowers stress and anxiety, and fosters community
connections.
Q
What is one success story or meaningful outcome that
really illustrates the impact of Walworth County
Connect?
Hearing from riders of how much they appreciate and rely on the
programs to get to medical appointments, work, school, church,
shopping, run errands, and visit family and friends. Many have
expressed that they don’t know what they would do for
transportation if the programs weren’t available. Riders have also
expressed how the programs allow them to maintain their
independence by not having to rely on family or friends for rides.
Q
How can staff refer individuals or collaborate with
Walworth County Connect effectively?
Visit WalworthConnect.com to learn about the County’s
transportation programs and to download a copy of the rider
guide (available in English and Spanish). (Rider guides are also
available in the resource area in the HHS lobby!)
Q
Are there any common misconceptions about the
program that you’d like to clarify?
There are two common misconceptions:
1.Riders have to be elderly or disabled to use Walworth County Connect.
a.Share Ride is available to anyone for any trip purpose.
b.The Care Ride service provides rides scheduled in advance outside the county for non-
emergency medical appointments for residents who are aged 60+, people with disabilities, and
qualifying veterans.
2.The programs are provided by VIP Services.
a.The Share and Care ride programs are provided by Walworth County. Walworth County Connect
contracts/partners with VIP Services for ride scheduling and transportation services.
Ride reservations and general inquiries should be directed to VIP Services at
262-732-4402.

1. Operations Manual / Standards and Practices
a. Develop content for:
i. Organizational Structure
ii. TCC bylaws
iii. Coordinated Transportation Planning
iv. Financial Background
v. Specialized Transit Policies
b. Update SRT program policies & procedures
i. Evaluate alignment with current practices
ii. Add content related to new transit software
iii. Revise, add or delete content based on outcome of rebranding project

New Software
Implementation
Research and Demo 3-5 new software options. Priorities include adding
rides quick and easy, deleting/cancelling, scheduling rides, tracking no-
shows, and late-cancellations with auto-flagging or repeat offenders, send
automated trip reminders, GPS tracking, Riders have ability to make
electronic payment both online and with drivers at pick-up, Tracking of
turndowns/denials, Date and time stamps of all bookings and
cancellations. Potential report same-day bookings accommodated.
Transfer of current data. Proper training included. Customizable fields.
Cloud based and mobile app.
As of 2/7/25 - VIP reached out to QRyde with their frustrations with the
lack of communication and their understanding of what VIP needed and
VIP threatened to cancel the agreement. They immediately responded
and have been more compliant and now have assigned a new project
manager to work on VIP's needs and demands. QRyde is building
reports that are expected to be completed by March 21, 2025.
11/24/25 - The QRyde Software has not and is not meeting the agreed
upon terms of our agreement and continue to lack response to our
needs, questions, and concerns. We have determined that a new
software vendor is necessary to meet the needs of the contract with
the County and are researching a new provider and will hire a
consultant/business analyst the help improve the selection and
implementation timeline.
5/24/26 Consultant provided research and live current customer
demonstrations and we determined RouteGenie (Buffalo NY) met all
the expectations. Aggressive launch date was set.
Meets desired needs and requirements for increased efficiencies
and reporting. Clean up current database before transferring
data.
Software vendor, QRyde, was selected in 12/2023.
Training started January 2024. Implementation expected in
April 1, 2024.
As of 6/28/24 - Software expected to finally launch in July,
2024.
As of 11/26/24 - The software upgrade has not gone well.
Frustrating process that VIP has struggled to understand all
the delays. They are too invested with man-hours and money
to make a change at this point. All the data has been loaded
into the new system and will be running two systems in
parallel in the month of December.
11/24/25 - QRyde has not provided the dashboard we were
promised in our contract or the necessary reports that were
agreed upon in March of 2025. The QRyde app does not work
properly and will not meet our expectations.
5/24/26 Software was launched 5/4/26 with live support from
RouteGenie and hired consultant.
VIP Team and Gene will decide best option based on
desired features and pricing. Look to complete demos by
9/30/23 and make final decision by 10/15/23. Implement
new software starting January 1, 2024
Demos were completed in November 2023
7/1/2025 Software is completely implemented and being
utilized by entire team. The phone app and consumer
portal are available.
11/24/25 - VIP plans to have a new vendor chosen and
implementation to be started by the end of 2nd quarter
of 2026.
5/24/26 The Mobile App (White Label) will be launched
June 11, 2026 after some brief pilot testing. Portal access
for County Departments (HHS, Veterans, and LHCC) will
be released after the coordination of training is set. The
Riders are receiving a phone call, text or email to confirm
ride for following day. Also get message when driver in is
transit. This in efforts to decrease cancellations and no
shows.
Vehicle Availability
Follow the Weekly Service Level Chart to meet the anticipated hourly
demand. Do not exceed total weekly hours or annual driver hours of
42,000.
As of 2/25/25 - Sunday Service was added to the program on January
12th. We are seeing steady ridership since late January.
5/24/26 Efficiently utilize the 24 County vehicles available to meet the
service demand of the Walworth County Connect Share and Care riders.
11/24/2025 - Ride volume continues to rise as we get closer to
maximum weekly hours. Our scheduler needs to continue to
focus on shared rides to maximize capacity to allow for
additional ride growth.

Driver Recruitment
The Goal is to hire PT drivers to fill current and future needs. Employ a
minimum of 8 FT and 32 PT individual drivers to meet the daily need for
shared ride transportation services offered. Capacity to cover the 810
hours per week. FT driving staff should not make up more than 20% of
the team for cost savings measures with FT benefits. Making the
assumption that 8 FT staff will cover at least 240 hours per week and the
PT staff will cover the other 540 hours per week of the 810 total with a
maximum absentee rate of 25%. This also allows for up to 150 additional
hours per week for non-driving time for pre & post vehicle inspections,
training, etc. Employ drivers that are reliable, have clean background
checks and understand the role of representing VIP and the County in a
professional manner at all times. 7/25/25
Added in a NEW dispatcher position to team.
5/24/26 With the addition of the dispatcher position we are now able
to accommodate many of the same day ride requests.
Train driving staff utilizing mentors and other means to best
prepare for job scenarios. Track times of year that there is an
increase or decrease in trip demand as well as known driver
vacations or extended time off. Participate in continuous
recruitment of drivers to meet the growing demand and looking
to upgrade staff and remain proactive.
As of 1/30/24: 49 total drivers. 9 FT, 40 PT, Overtime avg at

months to meet the loss of a few and help with Sunday hours.
They averaged 2.8% of overtime hours in 2024. Their high
months were towards the end of the year as we had multiple
drivers out for various reasons. 7/25/25 Employ 52
Drivers for the County programs 8 FT and 44 PT. We
promoted 2 PT drivers to FT status to meet pending increased
demand with Marketing campaign. 11/24/25 - We currently
have 54 drivers with a goal of 60 to meet growing demand.
5/24/26 We have 56 drivers and continue to move towards
the goal of 60.
Approximately 8 FT driving staff will work 40 hours per
week and overtime hours should not exceed 2% on
average annually. PT drivers may work up to 29 hours per
week. Drivers are encouraged to wear either a VIP shirt or
baseball cap that identifies them as a VIP employee. At a
minimum drivers are to display their company name badge
visible for riders to see. A basic dress code required of
clean pants/jeans, shirt, jacket, sweatshirt and cap. VIP
logo should be displayed whenever possible on garments.
Improve efficiency of driver usage with less downtime and
quicker response for peak and slow times
As of 2/1/25 - All VIP Drivers wear their name badges.
Purpose of dispatcher is to improve communication
between base (Schedulers) and drivers and provide one

Maintain Vehicle
Cleanliness
(Added 2/25/25)
Determine what the reasonable, minimum level of cleaning that should
take place to meet the expectations of the passengers and the
leadership team. Create a vehicle checklist.
Each vehicle will be washed at least once per week either in a
local carwash or at the VIP facility. Each vehicle should be
vacuumed out at least a minimum of once per week
depending on time of year and amount of use. Daily cleaning
is still the expectation of each driver.
All vehicles/drivers will participate in a random, rotating
inspection system and be checked monthly at a
minimum. If a vehicle/driver receives a negative and non-
passing inspection report, they will be subjected to a
weekly inspection for 3 weeks to eliminate the concern.
7/1/25 vehicle cleaning supplies and tools were made
readily available for all drivers to check out. We are
seeing cleaner vehicles and improved reports.
5/24/26 We are performing weekend spot checks and
providing drivers with verbal warnings if vehicles do not
meet minimum standards.
