• Description:
  Although considerable research has been done in the area of elderly and handicapped transportation, very little factual data exist concerning how human services transportation providers operate or what their services actually cost. In light of this fact, three providers of human services transportation were selected for in-depth evaluation. Both cost and operating data were collected and analyzed for each provider. This report presents the results of this data collection and evaluation effort. Because of the limited data available, only tentative conclusions can be reached. It was therefore recommended that a data monitoring system be developed which would allow a more complete and in-depth analysis of all human services transportation providers across the state.
