FLORIDA STATEWIDE FIVE-YEAR TRANSIT AND PARATRANSIT DEVELOPMENT PLAN FOR THE TRANSPORTATION DISADVANTAGED. VOLUME 5: PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT

Passage of Chapter 427 F.S. set in motion a state level effort to bring about a major structural change in the provision of transportation services to the transportation disadvantaged persons in Forida. The creation of the Coordinating council on the Transportation Disadvantaged (CCTD) in 1979 established a statewide policy and program to coordinate specialized transportation services. This 5-volume study discusses the first Statewide Five-Year Transit and Paratransit Development Plan and Transportation Improvement Program for the transportation disadvantaged in Florida. Volume 5: Program Development, discusses the policy issues associated with the continued development of the transportation disadvantaged program, as well as program guidance in the near future. It is reported that such coordinated services and funds will result ultimately in lower overall costs and more effective service for more persons.
