Client Testimonial
June 15, 2021
Dear CCCTA,
Two years ago I made a decision to leave upstate NY to move to Coshocton, OH to be near family. I have a health condition that limits how much walking I can do. Little did I know, towards the end of my first year of living in Ohio, I would undergo five surgeries on my right leg. Thus, I am currently with a knee brace and wheelchair much of the time.
CCCTA has been a huge blessing! Rarely a week goes by in which I don’t have a doctor’s appointment or physical therapy. These appointments are in Columbus, Zanesville and here in town. Although I drive with hand controls, I currently can only walk approximately 50 feet and that’s with the use of a walker. Thus, I need to be transported for my appointments. (All of my appointments are more than 50 feet of walking into the building, to the office, etc.)
The CCCTA staff is wonderful! My initial phone conversation with Valerie was extremely helpful and thorough. Each time I call to book transportation, I am always treated in a friendly, professional manner. Rachel and the other coordinators work really hard to meet my scheduling needs.
For some of my transports, I am the only client on the bus/van. Other times, there may be as many as six of us riding. All of the drivers are nice, observant of needs, and provide safe rides. Often during the rides, I have been learning about the history of Coshocton and enjoy the opportunity of meeting new people.
Lastly, I am thankful and so impressed that CCCTA works with a variety of funding to help clients receive rides at very reasonably costs. Before learning of CCCTA, I was paying over $200 each way for my Columbus appointments! With CCCTA, the cost is way below that amount.
I often let others know how much I appreciate CCCTA and tell them it’s one of the gems of Coshocton.
Sincerely,
Barbara
