The U. S. Department of Transportation (DOT) today announced a $1.4 million grant to the Paducah Area Transit System to provide enhanced, cost-effective transportation choices for older adults, people with disabilities and low-income populations in Paducah, KY.
The Paducah Area Transit System is using the funding for the expansion of an existing call center to cover a larger geographic area and provide around-the-clock access to traveler support. The strengthened call center will add customer-oriented features, such as automated telephone and Internet-based trip reservations and management.
The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) today announced a $700,000 grant to the Camden County Workforce Investment Board to provide enhanced, cost-effective transportation choices for older adults, people with disabilities and low-income populations in Camden County, NJ.
The Camden County Workforce Investment Board is using the funding for planning and designing a transportation brokerage system supported by a comprehensive set of transportation modes, and for promoting fixed-route public transportation usage for human service clients through accessibility improvement.
The U.S. Department of Transportation today awarded a $680,000 grant to the Lower Savannah Council of Governments to provide enhanced, cost-effective transportation choices for older adults, people with disabilities and low-income populations in Aiken, SC.
The Lower Savannah Council of Governments is using the funding for planning and designing an expanded human service transportation network to include more human service transportation providers and vehicle tracking abilities such as global positioning systems (GPS) and to enable customers to receive information and manage their own trips through a toll-free number and web-based applications.
The United We Ride/Mobility for All Americans joint demonstration adopts a two-phased approach. Eight sites were selected to in 2007 participate in Phase 1, which was system planning and design. Aiken is one of three Phase 1 sites selected to move forward to system deployment, the second phase of the program.
Funding for the demonstration is provided by the Intelligent Transportation System Joint Program Office of the Research and Innovative Technology Administration in Partnership with the Federal Transit Administration
