Dial-A-Bus of Benton County

Offering independence, stability, and community connections through transportation

From the humble beginnings of a small group of senior volunteers in the mid-1970s who made sure their friends could get to and from the Senior Center, Dial-A-Bus of Benton County has grown into an agency that serves the transportation needs of senior and disabled adults, children and families navigating poverty and other challenges, the homeless and home-insecure community members of Benton County, and disabled and displaced school children. Among other services, we have the privilege of driving developmentally disabled adults to their jobs, ensuring our unhoused population can access medical care and food services, and making sure displaced children have the stability of remaining at their home school when they are temporarily living out of district. Occasionally, the community ask us to provide other services that are no less important. In the recent past, we drove a client on hospice care and his family to see the ocean one last time, drove a cancer patient and her husband to celebrate the end of their chemotherapy regimen, and we remain open on Christmas Day so seniors in assisted living facilities can spend the day with their families. We are extremely proud of our service to the community and you are invited to support our efforts by becoming a volunteer driver or through a simple donation that will go directly to maintaining the services described above. Call us at 541-752-2615 or stop in and see us on the first floor of the Sunset Building at 4077 Research Way. Donations can be made at https://www.dialabus.org/donate

Dial-A-Bus held our second Adopt-A-Highway clean-up over the weekend. These 12 dedicated employees and volunteers showed up bright and early to volunteer their time and energy to keeping our community beautiful and clean. They worked tirelessly to collect litter, remove debris, and leave our highways looking better than ever. We're so grateful for their hard work and commitment to making a positive impact. A huge thank you to each and every one of them for their efforts!

September is Attendance Awareness Month! According to the Oregon Department of Education's 2023-24 report card, the children who are missing school the most frequently are students who are experiencing homelessness and students who have disabilities. In Benton County alone, there were 374 students attending local schools who were unhoused for at least part of the school year. This year, we will be transporting over 200 students for multiple school districts and will have many new riders joining us. We wanted to share our back to school fundraiser one final time in the hopes of getting a bit closer to our goal and being able to provide the needed tools for the students we transport. https://donorbox.org/dialabus-school

September is Healthy Aging Month! There are many factors that go into healthy aging and many of them you can control.

Of course, that is easier said than done for many people as the aging population is also more likely to face transportation barriers. Dial-A-Bus is here to make sure the people in our community can live their lives without barriers! If you need help with transportation, please reach out to our dispatch team today (541) 752-2615

Distracted driving is any activity that diverts attention from driving, including talking or texting on your phone, eating and drinking, talking to people in your vehicle, fiddling with the stereo, entertainment or navigation system — anything that takes your attention away from the task of safe driving.

Texting is the most alarming distraction. Sending or reading a text takes your eyes off the road for 5 seconds. At 55 mph, that's like driving the length of an entire football field with your eyes closed.

There are 4️⃣ types of driver distraction:
• Visual - looking at something other than the road.
• Auditory - hearing something not related to driving.
• Manual - manipulating something other than the wheel.
• Cognitive - thinking about something other than driving.

Most distractions involve more than one of these types, with both a sensory - eyes, ears, or touch - and a mental component.

Recent staff meeting highlights: Our safety session ensured all staff have expertise in wheelchair lifts and car seats. With over 200 children relying on us for safe transportation to and from school, their well-being remains our top priority. As we prepare to retire several older vehicles this year, we will be launching a fundraising campaign to replace them soon.

Schools are officially back in session and we wanted to put out a reminder that early September is our busiest time of year as we get used to the new schedule and see what changes need to be made. As we hire new drivers, train them, and get our schedules sorted, things will calm back down in a couple weeks.

Thank you for your patience with our drivers and dispatchers in the meantime! Make sure you're calling one week ahead of your ride for the best chance of getting the time slot you need.

🚍 𝐈𝐭'𝐬 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐲 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐬𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐥! 🚍

You may have noticed a few different styles of school zone speed signs around our county. Each has their own rules regarding when the school zone needs to be observed, but they all indicate that the school zone speed is ✌20 𝓶𝓹𝓱.✌

The school zone sign itself is the start of the ✌20 𝓶𝓹𝓱.✌zone. This speed limit is in effect until you reach an "𝐞𝐧𝐝 𝐬𝐜𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐥 𝐳𝐨𝐧𝐞" sign or another posted speed sign. That doesn't mean as soon as you SEE the end school zone sign you are out of it. Don't start speeding up yet. The school zone ends at the exact location of that sign.

🚦 A flashing light on a school zone sign indicates children are actively arriving or leaving the school. This means to expect pedestrian traffic. Slow down and observe the school speed limit.
🚸 A sign that indicates "𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬 𝐨𝐟 7𝐚𝐦 𝐚𝐧𝐝 5𝐩𝐦" lets you know that the speed limit is to be observed anytime during those hours on a school day. If you are unsure whether or not it's a school day, the best choice would be to slow down anyways.
🏃‍♂️ The school zone sign that says "𝐚𝐧𝐲 𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐲 𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐜𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐧 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐧𝐭" means you should be observant of your surroundings and know that children frequent that area of the road. You must slow down to 20 mph in these zones if you see a child waiting at a crosswalk, children are walking within a crosswalk (starting the moment they step off the curb), or if you see a crossing guard waiting to help children across- even if they are not actively moving children at that time.

𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐤 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐤𝐞𝐞𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐤𝐢𝐝𝐬 𝐬𝐚𝐟𝐞!
