Human Service Transportation Coordination

The TPB’s Human Service Transportation Coordination work includes actively seeking input on unmet transportation needs through the Access for All Advisory Committee. Based on this input, the TPB identified connectivity gaps in accessing essential services for older adults, people with disabilities and those with low-incomes in its Coordinated Human Service Transportation Plan, adopted by the TPB in November 2014. These unmet transportation needs are used to develop priorities for FTA’s Enhanced Mobility of Seniors and Individuals with Disabilities grant program. COG serves as the designated recipient for this program in the Washington DC-VA-MD Urbanized Area and the TPB solicits and selects the projects; these projects provide key access to essential services such as health care, education, employment and recreation.
