Goals of Coordination
Better Service More Efficient Use of Resources Enhanced Service
Framework for ActionCommunity Self-Assessment
Framework for Community Transportation Assessment
Transportation planners and providers need and want to know what you know about available services
For effective transportation services, planners and providers need to have a shared vision with the community
Community residents are partners in the visioning, planning, and implementation of the coordination process
Importance of Community Assessment
Not a just another “needs” questionnaire
Helps communities also see the assets or resources– the “big picture”
Gives baseline information to everyone on the state-of-the-vision
Helps communities to move forward with action planning
Community Transportation Assessment Ground Rules
Make ratings independently. We’ll combine answers later
There are no right or wrong answers For each question, the higher the number,
the better the rating Review your ratings and make notes,
especially where there are high or low ratings. This will help when we combine answers
