Montana Coordinated Transportation Handbook
|
 |
Lack of transportation options impact every aspect of a person’s life, from necessary medical care and the prospect of employment, to the ability to attend a social event and build community relationships. For at least the past decade the lack of transportation options for persons with disabilities has consistently been identified as a barrier to community life. The Council opted to address the issue of transportation from a systems change standpoint, and created the Montana Coordinated Transportation Handbook. This unique “how-to” guide is a hands-on tool to develop a coordinated system of transportation utilizing public funded vehicles. Persons interested in developing a coordinated system can begin with the communication model of just talking to each other about where their vehicles are and why, to the option of creating a fully consolidated system. |
This Handbook as been disseminated statewide to community based human service providers, self-advocacy organizations, legislators, county and tribal governments. This Handbook has been hailed as a model for transportation coordination by the Federal Transit Administration. The Handbook is available as a download from this website. |
