East Wawanosh Township
icouncil agreed to extend its agree-
ment with the North Huron Spe-
cial Transit Corporation (NHSTC)
for 1995.
1 The one-year extension was
krnade at last Tuesday's January
tenancil meeting, following a depu-
tation by NHSTC chairperson
Vicki Piluke and Doug Fraser.
The NHSTC operates Wheels
Away for the special needs resi-
dents of north Huron and south
Bruce Counties. The NHSTC is a
lion -profit charitable organization
with a volunteer board of direc-
Piluke said that the number of
[MS.
rides have increased in East Waw-
anosh over the past few years, go-
ing from zero rides in 1992 to 181,
rides last year. There were 14
• rides in 1993. She added that the
the number of rides is not consis-
tent, because it depends in the
population and who is using the
service in the township. Piluke,
pointed out that Wheels Away rid-
ers are approved by an eligibility
committee.
"East Wawanosh had 7.8 per
cent of the total ridership last
year," Piluke told council.
As well as agreeing to an exten-
sion to the agreement, East Wawa -
nosh council also agreed to pay its
estimated cost for ridership for
1995. The cost of the service is
shared with the 12 other munici-
palities in the area.
'It's difficult t guarnntee' the
• number of rids fOr I'995," said Pi-
luke.
She noted that the provincial
government has been funding spe-
cialized transportation since 1969,
and a service in central Huron will
be the 100th service when it be-
gins later this year.
Rates will be changing, so that a
person going from one end of
Wingharn to the other will pay zer-
tain rate, but a person coming in
from a rural area and going to a
certain area in town will pay an-
other rate.
A ride is considered to be a one-
way trip. People living in town are
charged a flat rate, with riders
coming in from out of town will
be charged a tate of 25 -cents for
every 4-lan.

could acquire work permits from
the Ministry of Natural Resource,a

nance.

inspect all the municipal drains in
the township. to find out which
ones have to be cleaned out

drains on a regalar basis, over the
next five years," he said.
