Third Amendment to the Professional Service Agreement for Senior  
Transportation 
 
On August 1st, 2017, The City of Apache Junction entered into an agreement with Central 
Arizona Council On Developmental Disabilities (“CACDD”) to provide transportation services to 
our senior and disabled populations. Transportation services included: transportation to and 
from the MGC for weekday lunch, medical and shopping trips. 
 
This program is funded through Central Area Aging, grants, participant donations and the 
general fund.   
 
The notable changes in this amendment are: 
• Increase in daily transportation from $240 per day to $275 per day 
• Transportation for individual services (medical/shopping) will increase from $8 per mile 
to $10 mile and from $25 per hour to $40 per hour. This service is rarely needed. 
• Added fee for extended service area-if needed 
• Added language and fee to accommodate if a second vehicle is required   
 
With the rising cost of fuel, personnel cost and a broader service area, staff feel this is a fair 
adjustment. 
 
This is a vital program providing various transportation options to the senior community. The 
partnership with CACDD has been very successful and staff recommend this amendment for 
council’s approval.
