Federal Transit Administration Releases Report
Federal Transit Administration Releases Report On Coordinated Human Service Transportation
Under the leadership of the Federal Transit Administration of the U.S. Department of Transportation, the Civil Rights Division of the U.S. Department of Justice is working in collaboration with federal agencies from across government to enhance a streamlined approach to human service transportation service delivery. There are 62 federally-funded programs under FTA, collectively serving senior citizens, low-income individuals, and people with disabilities. In implementing Executive Order 13330, signed by President George W. Bush on February 24, 2004, the Interagency Coordinating Council on Access and Mobility (CCAM) has been established and has worked hard to minimize duplication of services, promote collaboration across funding streams, and ultimately to facilitate a seemless approach to human service transportation that covers the three named constituencies.
On May 24, 2005, Transportation Secretary Norman Meneta announced the release of its 2005 Annual Report under this coordinated initiative called "United We Ride."
