The Human Services Transportation Plan (HSTP) is plan that addresses transportation needs of Region 6 residents with transportation challenges and special needs. The last HSTP was completed in 2015. The 2024 update and planning process is currently underway, scheduled to be completed this Spring.

Assist MCRPC in the pursuit of addressing challenges to transportation and mobility in Region 6, by attending our Virtual Town Hall Forum on Monday, March 18th, at 5-6:30 pm. This Virtual Town Hall Forum will provide transportation system users an opportunity to discuss rural public transit needs and share about their experiences. MCRPC aims to understand how residents with transportation challenges and special needs currently use the transportation system and the changes they'd like to see. The data collected from the Virtual Town Hall Forum will be used to develop the Human Services Transportation Plan that will help address the needs to residents facing transportation challenges.

The Human Services Transportation Plan (HSTP) works to ensure the best possible use of scarce public transportation resources, identifying goals for transit service and objectives for implementation.  The plan draws together two communities – public and private providers of transportation services, and social service agencies and advocacy groups representing the riders.  Some social service agencies are also transportation providers.

This program began as a federal funding initiative to make the most effective use of resources for transportation for seniors, people with disabilities and others needing paratransit service such as non-emergency medical transportation particularly in rural areas. Urbanized Areas with Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) that have their own HSTP process/committees and/or plans within Region 6 are also included.
