This study, mandated in SHB 1694 (2007) (Final Bill Report), was to review legal and programmatic changes needed to effectively coordinate special needs transportation services at the regional level. This includes examining non-traditional service providers, facility siting decisions, and strategies for a decentralized broker system. Meetings with providers, brokers and the many agencies sponsoring trips for persons with special needs will be held. Introduction.
The consultant team led by Nelson\Nygaard was chosen in December, 2007, to conduct this study; a policy group will be formed to oversee its progress. A final draft report of this study will be completed by December, 2008. Gene Baxstrom was the JTC project manager for this study.
