Amador County - Amador Transit’s Mobility Management program recently demonstrated just one of the ways its helping people with their transportation needs by helping a Round Table Pizza employee save his job. Bill Peck, considered a key employee at the popular restaurant, lost his daily bus ride to work when the River Pines Amador Transit route was cancelled. Mobility Manager Mel Welsh invited Peck to a meeting of the River Pines Revitalization Committee where Peck met a River Pines woman who has since driven him to work each day and has refused money for gas. “I don’t know what I would have done without the help of Mobility Management. I probably would have lost my job,” he said, adding: “This situation I have now is perfect.” Another person who is pleased with the arrangement set up by Mobility Management is Round Table Pizza Manager Chis Owens. “Bill is a very hard worker in a key position. He is our dough roller, and for a pizza restaurant, that’s a very important job,” said Owens. Peck has worked at Round Table for nearly two years. Mobility Management is funded by Federal Transit Administration money that is administered by Caltrans. The program is active through September 2011, and a grant is pending for an additional two years of funding. “We’re a one-stop shop for everyone’s transportation needs, especially for the elderly, low-income and handicapped people,” said Welsh. Mobility Management can be reached at 209-267-5027, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday. A TSPN TV Report This email address is being protected from spambots.
