Hi Wayne - Thank you for your comment. It appears that your comment was inadvertently based on the prior Comprehensive Plan (2030 Plan). Please follow this link to see the 2045 Plan linked at the top of the page: (https://www.cityofallen.org/departments/community_development/planning_and_development/allen_2030_comprehensive_plan.php). Please take a look at Goal TM1 in the 2045 Plan, which addresses a comprehensive effort to address mobility for all groups.
In the past, City Council continued to revisit options for the type of on-demand transit you mentioned, basing these efforts on the needs of the community and the availability of options.
Mobility Section 5. A. needs to be rewritten.

The service is available to all citizens on a fee-for-service basis. Coordination of this service in conjunction with expansion of local and regional transit systems should be evaluated by the city in the future.
TAPS does not service Allen or Collin County. There is s pickup service for elderly during weekday business hours provided by Denton County Transit. Other than that, no transportation services are provided.
