Human Services Transportation Plan
Human Services Transportation Plan
WAMPO is currently in the process of updating its Human Services Transportation Plan. This plan focuses on the transportation needs of older adults, people with disabilities, and low income households. Please take a few moments to tell us if you agree or disagree with the current goals and strategies of this plan. At the end of this short, anonymous survey, there will also be an opportunity for you to share any additional information that you feel is relevant to the conversation. To review the current plan please click HERE.
In addition to the three goals, the current plan also itemizes strategies designed to meet each goal. For the 2018 plan update, we have chosen to categorize these strategies into three overarching target areas (Awareness, Coordination, and Feasibility).
Please take a moment to evaluate each strategic target area. Additional space will be provided at the end of this survey to share additional comments.
