| 摘要： | For several decades, many human services agencies have provided special transportation services for seniors, persons with disabilities, and others through programs funded and administered by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). Local human services agencies providing these services have often purchased and operated their own vehicles or purchased transportation services from others. The estimates of overall spending on transportation by HHS programs in fiscal year 1998 ranged from about $2 billion to $3.5 billion. Similarly, the Federal Transit Administration (FTA), within the Department of Transportation (DOT), awards grants to local transit operators to provide assistance for general public transportation systems, such as bus and subway systems, and also makes awards for special purposes, such as grants and loans for the special needs of elderly individuals and individuals with disabilities. Transportation coordination can reduce federal transportation program costs by clustering passengers, utilizing fewer one-way trips, and sharing the use of transportation personnel, equipment, and facilities. In addition, people in need of transportation often benefit from the greater and higher quality transportation services available when transportation providers coordinate their operations. |
