In the PastIn the Past
• ODOT administered the statewide program• MVRPC scored and ranked applications• Grantees ordered vehicles from state contract• Long delay between application and delivery• Agencies reported directly to ODOT on usage• Inspections every three years (MVRPC)• Most vehicles were used for one set of clients• Many agencies had no back up in case of
mechanical problems• Vehicles were sometimes underutilized

New TechnologyNew Technology
New technology (GPS, MDT, AVM) could –make drivers/vehicles more efficient–improve customer service (automatic reminder calls, arrival notifications, etc.)–allow for “real time dispatching”–greatly simplify reporting–enable agencies to accept payment/fares from multiple sources–track maintenance, ridership, usage–automate much of the reporting process.
