Agenda Item Summary:
Public participation is key to developing a Coordinated Transit – Human Services Transportation Plan. Federal transit law requires that the plan be “developed and approved through a process that included participation by seniors, individuals with disabilities, representatives of public, private, and nonprofit transportation and human services providers and other members of the public" utilizing transportation services. These coordinated plans identify the transportation needs of individuals with disabilities, older adults, and people with low incomes, provide strategies for meeting these needs, and prioritize transportation services for funding and implementation.
Several activities will be scheduled, including media/press releases, Facebook updates, stakeholder meetings, and public open houses, all intended to actively solicit comments and engage the interests of the public through the participation process.
