More than 3030% to 40%YesBusiness HoursThe American Cancer Society works with cancer patients who don't have or can't afford transportation to treatment. In addition to volunteer drivers who provide rides, we have vouchers for bus passes. We've struggled to get this program off the ground for a few reasons, one being that public transportation isn't yet the norm in Rochester. We have needs to get both residents and visitors to treatment.

For parents :
When restaurants downtown close around 10:00-11:00pm directly taking them to the Oak terrace SE area, Meadow Park Area,
when the bus routes are created, the next step will be to outreach to those who will benefit, just as the Mayo Clinic provides passes to their employees, the restaurants/hospitality/cleaning businesses could provide bus passes to their workers and allowing them to leave their working place on time to catch the bus :) as part of their employment.

Often times clients have to go to other law offices in town for alternative dispute resolution. You could add almost every law firm in town to this list for that reason.
Virginia Merrittvirginia@laocmn.org10% to 20%This varies to much to estimateNoBusiness hours 8:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.For the estimated number of clients served daily, I'm not sure if you want the number of people who come to our office each day, or the number of people who have appointments. We probably have an average of 5 -8 people who we need at the office each day. We probably have between 15 and 20 people drop in seeking services each day.

Question 6 & 7 I found difficult to answer. The transportation we provide is mainly to other agencies, not our agency. Last year we gave over 8,800 destination to destination rides. These rides went to various locations (our highest need is Mayo and Zumbro Valley) and we served 586 unique clients (meaning 586 different people made up the 8,800 rides)
