Special Transportation

MARC supports and contracts for transit services that meet the needs of the region's special populations including the aging, welfare recipients, low-income individuals or persons with disabilities. Elements of MARC's special transportation initiative are linked below:

• Coordinated Public Transit–Human Services Transportation Plan
  Outlines how transit agencies, social service agencies, municipalities and other transportation providers can most efficiently and effectively work together to improve regional mobility for individuals with special transportation needs.
  • Job Access and Reverse Commute Program (FTA Section 5316)
    Improves mobility and economic opportunity for welfare recipients and low-income individuals by funding new or expanded transportation services.
  • New Freedom Program (FTA Section 5317)
    Supports new public transportation services and public transportation alternatives that go beyond those required by the Americans with Disablities Act of 1990.
  • Transportation for Elderly and Disabled Program (FTA Section 5310)
    Provides funding to support transporting the elderly and/or disabled where public transportation services are unavailable, insufficient or inappropriate.
• Aging Transportation Program
  In conjunction with MARC's Department of Aging Services, MARC contracts each fiscal year with providers that offer transportation services for the aging and persons with disabilities, serving Cass, Clay, Jackson, Platte and Ray counties in Missouri.
• Special Transportation-Job Access Partnership
  This advisory committee addresses programs, funding and mobility needs for populations underserved by traditional forms of transit.
