Abstract:

This report provides guidance and tools for assessing transportation needs of veterans, service members, and their families and for improving public transit, specialized transportation, volunteer services, and other local transportation options to meet those needs. The report begins with foundational information on community transportation services and initiatives currently available for veterans, service members, and their families. Subsequent chapters guide readers through an organized process for improving transportation options, building on the framework of coordination. The chapters address concepts and requirements for improving existing transportation services and for implementing new transportation options. Chapter topics include: leadership, outreach, planning, coordination and mobility management, services, business practices, communication, and evaluation. Most of the chapters conclude with “tools” appropriate to the chapter’s topic as well as a list of additional resources suggesting reports and websites that offer more information.
