Surveys open for the development of a revised Transit Coordination Plan
Transit Coordination Plan 2022
The Ozarks Transportation Organization (OTO) would like to announce the availability of three (3) surveys related to the development of a revised Transit Coordination Plan. These surveys will help identify the transportation needs of seniors and those with disabilities, and identify how area transportation providers and human service agencies are serving these individuals. This data will be used to identify strategies for improving the transportation options for these populations. The surveys, along with additional project details, are available at www.ozarkstransportation.org/TCP.
The OTO seeks to involve all individuals and organizations with an interest in the transportation of seniors and individuals with disabilities. The three (3) Transit Coordination Plan surveys include:
- a survey on the transportation needs of seniors, individuals with disabilities, and those with limited incomes;
- a survey of area transportation providers; and
- a survey of area human service agencies.
The surveys are available at www.ozarkstransportation.org/TCP until July 14, 2021.
Information regarding these surveys will be distributed to a wide range of individuals and groups. Outreach will include Facebook ads, post cards, letters, emails, appearances on local radio shows, and a limited number of site visits. The OTO is also partnering with area transit providers and social service agencies to ensure broad participation.
Please contact Andy Thomason at athomason@ozarkstransportation.org or (417) 865-3047 x107 if you have any questions or wish to obtain a paper copy of the user survey. These three surveys will be open through July 14, 2021. Again, surveys and additional project information is available at www.ozarkstransportation.org/TCP.
