Coordinated Public Transit and Human Services Transportation Plan for Coos, Carroll, and Northern Grafton Counties
What is the "Coordinated Plan" and why is it important?
The Coordinated Plan
identifies where there are needs and gaps in transportation services for residents, and lays out action items and implementation strategies for maintaining and improving services.
The Coordinated Plan
also enables transportation service providers to apply for important federal grants
that support things like volunteer driver programs and vehicle purchases.
Our Goals for the Coordinated Planning Process were to learn:
Who in our communities needs transportation services to get around, but can't always access those services?
Where are these people located, and where do they need to go?
How can we best reach these people and connect them to resources (if available)?
What are the obstacles to getting people rides?
What are the opportunities for improving coordination between organizations to get rides for those who need them?
