SUPPORTING THE KODIAK AREA COORDINATED TRANSIT SYSTEM (KATS)
WHEREAS, the Kodiak Area Transit System (KATS) has served the community and
local non - profits as a coordinated transit system since August 2000; and
WHEREAS, Kodiak area non - profit agencies use a coordinated transit system instead
of each agency having its own vehicle; and
WHEREAS, KATS provides assistance to people to live independently and with
mobility for as long as possible; and
WHEREAS, KATS provided more than 14,000 rides last year to 1,500 people for
medical and dental appointments, shopping, outings, picking up prescriptions, welfare
to work, adult day programs, child care, nursing home residents, and transportation
for students of the Kodiak Island Borough School District, for college classes, and after
school activities; and
WHEREAS, KATS is the only coordinated transportation system in the state with
more than 17 local non - profit agencies participating; and
WHEREAS, KATS is cost - efficient and is fundamental to the quality of life for many
Kodiak residents who cannot afford other means of transportation;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE KODIAK ISLAND BOROUGH ASSEMBLY
that we continue to support the Kodiak Area Transit System as a state recognized
coordinated transit system for our community.
