ROCKY MOUNTAIN SUCCESS

Care-A-Van, in Fort Collins, Colorado, has been successfully coordinating transportation for Larimer County since 1972. The system receives funding from local human resource agencies, a Title III Grant as well as UMTA. The system has grown from transpoting eight passenger a day to making more than 172,00 trips in 1989. The article identifies the following as reasons behind this success: coordination; effective preparation; foresight; flexibility; and old-fashioned hard work.
