Writing a Coordinated Human Service Transportation Plan
Beginning in FY 2007, the Safe Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU) required that projects funded under Individuals with Disabilities, JARC, and New Freedom programs have a locally developed, coordinated public transit-human services transportation plan. While the task may seem daunting, the plan can act as a tool in coordinating the human service transportation programs in your area, resulting in improved communication and streamlined operations for everyone involved.
Don’t worry, others have successfully developed and implemented coordinated plans, this National RTAP Technical Brief on Writing a Coordinated Human Service Transportation Plan contains resources available to help guide you through the process.
