Yancey May Get Mini-Bus A fleet of mini-buses soon will be much in evidence on the highways and back roads of Western North Carolina. The 38 little buses will play a major role in the delivery of child development programs and other human services throughout the 29-county area of the State served by the Appalachian Regional Commis sion, according to an announce ment by N.C. Governor Jim Holshouser. Yancey County qualifies as one of these areas, and according to Social Services Director Ruby Smith, a mini-bus would surely be welcome. “We have two child development centers in Yancey County,” she said. “The one in Burnsville has one vehicle to transport children but the other one in Bald Creek has no transportation facility.” Mrs. Smith also indicated that Child Development and Church Os Christ Burnsville, Old Green Mtn.

Yancey County is part of Region D, which contains seven counties. Since seven of the mini-buses are to be allotted to this Region, presumably Yancey will receive one of the mini buses. The buses were acquired by the North Carolina Office of Child Development (OCD) in the Department of Administration. The OCD administers federal state funds from the Appala chian Regional Commission (ARC) for a child development program which is currently serving over 2,700 children. Holshouser said ARC funds for the purchase of the mini-buses were made possible by savings accomplished thru a new management system initia ted in January by the OCD. “This new system is a business-like way to pay a certain amount per child per month for services provided, and it rewards tpgh enrollment and good management,” the Governor said. “As a result, the average cost per child per month has been reduced from S3OO to $lB5, with no reduction in services. “Lack of transportation long has been identified as a serious impediment to effective human service delivery in the Appala chian region,” Holshouser ad ded. “Therefore it was decided that we could use these savings to alleviate this problem by pur chasing these mini-buses.” The Governor noted that rural transportation is an important need throughout the state. "We’re making a strong effort to find ways to meet this need in North Carolina,” he said. “When these funds opened up, it gave us the opportunity to meet the special needs of some of our people in this part of the State.” The 38 mini-buses cost approximately $280,000, repre senting funds saved from January 1 through June 30. They include 31 buses with a 16 passenger capacity and seven 12 passenger buses equipped with hydraulic lifts to enable handicapped children to ride in the buses. Fees collected through child development projects covered the 20 per cent matching share required of local governments by the Appalachian Regional Commission. Holshouser poin ted out that the buses will be available for a wide variety of human services programs when they are not needed to transport participants in child develop ment programs. “For example,” he said, “they can be used to transport elderly citizens to receive meals provided in nutrition programs. Or they can be used to transport high school students getting practical work experience in child development centers un der manpower programs. “This,” he added, “is another example of cooperation made possible through the coordination of various human service programs by local governments working through their Lead Regional Organiza tions.” Last May, Governor Hols houser initiated a new Intergo vernmental Human Services Program which is a mechanism designed to achieve effective and efficient delivery of human services. Under this program, the LROs, functioning at the multi-county level as instru ments of local government, administer the: federally funded human service programs on a regional basis in a manner that provides local control and encourages integration of the various services. Child development services include quality day care centers; family-based programs; and coordinated health, social and educational services. 4- setlng ;ss Civil Air , i very Monday 1 1 p.m. at the 1 ! rness Office,!
