9.H.30) Coordinate transportation planning and service provision to the Commonwealth’s elderly population

All too often, state, regional, and local governments, as well as nonprofit service providers, provide care and services to elders that duplicate or overlap with the work of other organizations.  This lack of coordination is particularly visible in areas of transportation, where different agencies and organizations each have their own vehicles and systems for transporting older adults (and other populations in need of special transportation assistance).  This leads to inefficiencies that drive up the costs of elder services and reduce their effectiveness. 

30.a    The Executive Office of Elder Affairs should convene a regional effort to coordinate transportation services for older adults

30.b    The Boston Metropolitan Planning organization should study coordination of state and local human service transportation
