Describe the Organization's Mission:
Part 3 - Line 1
THE MISSION OF OATS, INC. IS TO PROVIDE RELIABLE TRANSPORTATION FOR TRANSPORTATION DISADVANTAGED MISSOURIANS SO THEY CAN LIVE INDEPENDENTLY IN THEIR OWN COMMUNITIES. OATS SERVES INDIVIDUALS FOR ALL REASONS. THE MAJORITY OF THE RIDERS ARE CLASSIFIED AS LOW INCOME, HANDICAPPED OR ELDERLY. WITHOUT THIS SERVICE MANY INDIVIDUALS WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO LIVE IN THEIR HOMES, WORK, SEE A DOCTOR OR ATTEND AN EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION. OATS MOSTLY PROVIDES DOOR-TO-DOOR SERVICE FOR THOSE UNFORTUNATE AND UNABLE TO TRANSPORT THEMSELVES.
Describe the Organization's Program Activity:
Part 3 - Line 4a
OATS INC., A PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM, SERVES 87 COUNTIES IN THE STATE OF MISSOURI. OATS PROVIDED 1,422,990 ONE-WAY TRIPS WITH A FLEET OF OVER 858 VEHICLES AND A STAFF OF 703. OATS NORMAL HRS ARE MON THROUGH FRI 6:00 AM-6:00 PM, BUT MANY TIMES OPERATES OUTSIDE THOSE HOURS DUE TO THE NATURE OF THE TRANSPORTATION. OATS INC. NOT ONLY IS CONCERNED ABOUT THE COST OF OPERATING THE VEHICLES, BUT REPLACEMENT OF THE VEHICLES TOO. OATS INC. RAISES MONEY THROUGH OVER 1,000 VOLUNTEERS WHO DO FUNDRAISING AND DONATIONS. OATS INC. IS NORMALLY REQUIRED TO MATCH 20% OF THE TOTAL COST OF THE VEHICLES WITH CASH. THIS CAN BE A CHALLENGE AND TAKES YEARS TO GET FUNDS TO BE ABLE TO MATCH ONE VEHICLE IN THAT COUNTY. OATS INC. HAS FOUND OVER THE YEARS WAYS TO PUT ASIDE FUNDS TO HELP IN THIS CAPITAL REQUIREMENT SUCH AS DONATIONS CONTRIBUTIONS, DEPRECIATION COSTS ON CONTRACTS AND STATE-INCENTIVE PROGRAMS SUCH AS THE NEIGHBORHOOD ASSISTANCE PROGRAM. WE HAVE FLEET PLANS SO REPLACEMENTS, EXPANSIONS AND MAJOR REPAIRS ARE LAID OUT FOR THE FUTURE YEARS TO KEEP THIS SERVICE GOING.OUR LONG-TERM GOAL IS TO PROVIDE THE MOST TRANSPORTATION SERVICE FOR THE DOLLARS RECEIVED AND LOOK FOR OTHER MEANS OF SUPPORT TO CONTINUE OUR MISSION. A QUARTERLY NEWSLETTER ALONG WITH OUR WEBSITE PROVIDES THE GENERAL PUBLIC INFORMATION ON OUR SERVICES, AND WE MAKE SURE THE REQUIRED INFORMATION IN REGARD TO THE ASPECTS OF OATS INC.
