Abstract:This is the first report in a two-part series which provides guidance for the identification and assessment of coordination concepts that are feasible for a local community. The second volume, Implementation Guidelines, describes the process by which an identified conceptual approach is turned into an operating system. This first report describes the concept of coordination, its potential benefits to the human service agency network and the community, and its applications in a variety of community settings. Chapter 1 describes the basis for coordination planning within the present community transportation structure. Chapters 2 and 3 describe coordination approaches that can correct an array of potential deficiencies, Chapter 4 describes the coordination planning approach, which is based on an analysis of current conditions and an assessment of coordination potential. Using simple measures of vehicle use, client need, and total cost, a framework is presented for determining a practical community approach to coordination. The coordination approach that results from this assessment will subsequently serve as the basis for a system design plan. Finally, Chapter 5 describes the coordination planning process in urban and nonurban settings, dealing with institutional arrangements, community organizations, and the regulatory environment.
