Review Plan Priorities
Existing Coordinated Plan Priorities
A. The Coordinated Plan encourages:
- Local human services transportation planning 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.
- Regional planning that extends the Coordinated Plan approach on a regional basis.
B. 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 priorities include:
· To educate the public and especially target populations about 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– e.g. EZ Pass.
· 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.
· To improve transportation access to medical services, both in-county and regionally.
Please send your ideas, comments or revisions of our priorities to Fernando deAragon, ITCTC, 121 E. Court St, Ithaca, NY 14850 or by email [email protected] on March 1, 2011.
