Coordinated Public Transit - Human Services Transportation Plan

Coordinated Public Transit - Human Services Transportation Plan (CPT-HSTP)

The Coordinated Public Transit – Human Services Transportation Plan (CPT-HSTP) for the Greater Memphis Region is prepared in compliance with the federal transportation law Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century (MAP-21), as well as the Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act.

The FAST Act requires that projects selected for funding through FTA’s Section 5310: Enhanced Mobility of Seniors and Individuals with Disabilities Program be “included in a locally developed, coordinated public transit – human services transportation plan” and that the plan be “developed and approved through a process that included participation by seniors, individuals with disabilities, representatives of public, private, and nonprofit transportation and human services providers and other members of the public.”

The purpose of the CPT-HSTP is to create a better transit system for transportation disadvantaged communities: older adults, persons with disabilities, and persons of low-income. The project effort included:

  • Evaluating existing paratransit, demand response transportation, human service agency, non-profit and private for-profit providers;
  • Assessing the transportation needs of transportation disadvantaged communities: including older adults, persons with disabilities, and persons of low-income;
  • Identifying gaps, challenges, and duplications of services;
  • Selecting short-term and long-term strategies for meeting unmet transportation needs; and
  • Producing an action plan for funding and implementation of strategies and activities.
