We are pleased to invite you to participate in an important update of the Coordinated Public Transit-Human Service Transportation Plan for our INDOT coordinated planning region (Delaware, Madison, Henry, Wells, Grant, and Jay Counties). The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) requires projects selected for funding under Section 5310 Enhanced Mobility for Seniors and Individuals with Disabilities program to be included in a coordinated plan. Agencies providing or utilizing transportation for older adults, individuals with disabilities, people with low incomes, and the general public should participate in the plan. A coordinated plan assesses mobility needs and gaps in transportation services for older adults, individuals with disabilities, people with low incomes, and the general public, then identifies projects that will meet these needs or close the gaps. This study was recently kicked off, and consultants from RLS & Associates, Inc. will soon begin collecting information from transportation providers in the region. The planning process will involve gathering stakeholder/public input, evaluating existing human service agency/public transportation services, and identifying barriers/gaps/challenges. These activities will provide a foundation for new coordinated transportation goals and strategies to guide us through the next four to five years. To gather public input for the plan, please consider participating in a short survey located at: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/Indiana_Transportation Thank you in advance for your consideration and willingness to participate in this important planning effort!
