Coordinated Plan Strategy
Strategies to Address Needs & Gaps and to improve efficiencies of existing system
The Coordinated Plan encourages:
- Local human services transportation planning is to reduce duplication, increase service efficiency and expand access for the transportation-disadvantaged populations of low-income, seniors and persons with disabilities.
- Federally-assisted grantees to coordinate their resources in order to maximize accessibility and availability of transportation services; including sharing vehicles and coordinating the use of federally-funded assets.
- Use regional planning to extend the Coordinated Plan approach on a regional basis.
The Coordinated Planning process enables the Coordination Plan Committee, ITCTC and the public to take a holistic perspective of transportation services, resources and needs to develop a community transportation system. A community transportation perspective requires transcending worldviews as operators, agencies, companies, and governments to focus on a strategy of high quality customer service for all individuals.
Project priorities are revised annually following a competitive solicitation process conducted by ITCTC .
The basic Coordination Plan strategy is to create coordinated, consumer-oriented, community mobility services aimed primarily at serving the target populations of low-income, seniors and persons with disabilities. Overall goals include:

- to educate the public and especially target populations about all mobility services.
- to train individuals, upon request, how to use mobility services.
- to create one telephone number and portal to make trip reservations for mobility services.
- to increase consumer choice of wheelchair-accessible services.
- to create one fare payment scheme for all travel modes.
- to create transparency and increase responsiveness of service providers and to encourage volunteer-driver programs.
- to coordinate community mobility services with existing services, e.g. TCAT bus.
- to promote efficient delivery of public-funded transportation services.
