DAVID SCOTT PHOTO FARE BOX FOR MOBILITY BUS - A fare box from a 1920 Toronto streetcar was recently acquired by CHuMS (Central Huron Mobility Service) for use in their mobility bus they're currently raising money for.

A fundraising breakfast for CHuMS will be held on Sunday, September 18 at the Seaforth Fairgrounds. CHUMS seeks funds for bus BY DAVID SCOTT Expositor Staff Organizers of a mobility bus service are holding their first major fundraiser in Seaforth to help raise some of the 525,000 still needed for the purchase of a new bus. The Seaforth Agricultural Society is hosting a fundraising breakfast for CHuMS (Central Huron Mobil- ity Service) on Sunday, Sept. 18 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Seaforth Fairgrounds. The agricul- tural society is supplying f(xxl and volunteers for the breakfast. The organization has raised about half the amount ($23,000 to chile), from donations from local service clubs and individuals, they need for the purchase of the low -floor bus. The Ontario Ministry of Transporta- tion (MTO) will subsidize 50 per cent of the capital and start-up costs for the mobility service. Overland Custom Coach is donat- ing one of their mobility buses to transport people to and from the breakfast, like CHUMS did for an earlier Strawberry Social held in 1 Seaforth. "It's a perfect opportunity for people to take a ride in the bus," said Mike Regicr, Operations Manager for CHuMS. Anyone wishing a ride on the bus should contact Bev Brown, CHUMS Coordinator at 482-5666. The group is also considering purchasing a demonstrator mobility bus if one is available for sale instead of a new model. There is a push for all city transit to have low - floor vehicles in the next few years, said Rcgicr. A draft agreement for the installa- tion of the mobility bus service has been sent to all municipalities involved for their review and appro- val. The agreement, which has been reviewed by the MTO, is similar to agreements by the 100 other mobil- ity bus services already in place in the province, said Ron Latham, Chair of CHuMS Steering Commit- tee and Manager of Contracts. The five municipal councils in central Huron - Clinton, Seaforth, Hullctt, McKillop, Tuckersmith - arc studying a bylaw/agreement which needs to be passed by each municipality before service can be provided to residents, according to CHuMS. CHuMS is also currently working on a service statement to be sent to municipalities. Over 200 invitations were sent to households in Huron which regis- tered applications with CHuMS as users of a mobility service. The applications will be reviewed this month to determine if each person meets the eligibility criteria to receive this subsidized service, according to CHuMS. Fundraising is a major issue for CHuMS at this time, said Latham. According to a newsletter from the group, they hope to also raise the first year's operating casts (approxi- mately 521,000) before they put a bus on the road. No deadline has been set for the totals to be reached. The CHuMS Steering Committee of 12 meets once a month and is well -represented by the municipal- ities involved in the service, said Reeler. Cost of the fundraising breakfast is 54 per person, S3 for children under 10 and preschoolers free. 4 Over 50 exhibitors offering savings & selection in computers, software, games, peripherals.
