The purpose of Human Services Transportation Plan is to improve transportation services for persons with disabilities, older adults, and individuals with lower incomes in the Erie and Niagara Counties region.
The plan provides a framework for the development of projects that will address the transportation needs of the target population, by ensuring that this two-county area and its human service agencies coordinate transportation resources offered through multiple Federal Transit Administration (FTA) programs. These include the Elderly and Individuals with Disabilities (Section 5310); Job Access and Reverse Commute (JARC, Section 5316); and New Freedom (Section 5317) programs.
The GBNRTC HSTP was approved on January 2007.
