With the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) in 1990, transportation services for disabled individuals were mandated under federal law. The local agency responsible for providing this service is MTD (Metropolitan Transit District). After the ADA’s passage in 1991, MTD contracted with Easy Lift to become the sole provider of Dial-a-Ride services in south Santa Barbara County. Community members who are unable to drive or take the MTD bus due to physical or cognitive impairment can apply for Dial-a-Ride services.In 2014, Easy Lift scheduled 88,244 rides for 3,120 passengers! Passengers use the service for a wide variety of purposes from medical appointments, work, school, grocery shopping, to quality of life activities such as church, recreation and entertainment. Our service area stretches from Winchester Canyon to Carpinteria, and we operate 363 days per year.In addition, Easy Lift is truly a special community resource! As a nonprofit organization, Easy Lift is unique in the paratransit industry. Most similar organizations in the U.S. rely exclusively on government funding, while just half of our Dial-a-Ride funding is from the government. Because of our nonprofit status, Easy Lift can leverage those funds with additional fundraising activities which results in our ability to serve twice as many people.As our nation grows older and those with physical challenges assert greater independence, the need for service is continually on the rise. Because transportation provides the independence vital to maintaining quality of life, Easy Lift will continually strive to expand its service to meet the unmet and growing needs of our community.

In the last year my past two employers have made strategic decisions to exit the Reverse Mortgage business but fortunately is not a reflection on the industry as a whole. I am now with Liberty Home Equity Solutions formerly known as Genworth Financial Home Equity Access still providing HECM loans both for refi and purchase transactions.
