The program is designed to achieve three major goals: (1) it will help meet the transportation needs of elderly and handicapped people with low incomes, (2) it will provide the transportation industry with customers and revenues needed to keep transportation functioning, and (3) it will provide and promote new and improved transportation services all across the State. A statewide network of transportation systems (providers) has been planned for development over a three year period on a regional basis. The transportation systems planned include the use of regularly scheduled buses operating on the primary road network to bring people to major health services, food shopping centers, and social services. Smaller feeder vehicles will cover the secondary roads bringing people from the hollows and remote areas to a primary route where a transfer will be made to the primary route bus. The feeder vehicles will respond to specific prearranged requests, providing a home pick-up or drop-off. The combined primary/feeder system will provide maximum outreach of transportation services on a cost effective basis.
