This digest presents the results of NCHRP Project 20-65, Task 26, "An analysis and evaluation of states' implementation of the FTA 5310, 5316, and 5317 grant programs." Since 2007, these Federal Transit Administration human services grant programs have required the establishment of locally developed, coordinated public transit/human services transportation plans. NCHRP Project 20-65, Task 27, focused on two objectives: 1) to determine the level of effort and costs associated with the development of coordinated public transit-human services transportation plans; and 2) to determine the perceived success of the coordination plans and the perceived success that states and other grantees are having in awarding funds and meeting the coordination plan objectives.

This report provides a method to define and measure the costs of personal immobility at a local level and contains a compendium of public transportation practices that address immobility, help reduce costs, and possibly provide economic benefits to both the riders and the larger community. The focus is on practices that assist people who need transportation to health care or who are transitioning from welfare to work. This report should be of interest to planners, decision makers, and social service and transportation providers. It should also serve as a resource to assist decision makers and transportation service providers in using their services more effectively to address the issue of personal immobility.
