The ACCT target population is interested in roadway infrastructures and congestion levels, but is often faced with the fundamental problem of limited capacity and choices. Significant public resources are invested in programs to provide social, health, educational, and other services. Access to these services is a critical determinant of their success. Mobility and access are ultimately determinants of the quality of life experienced by the citizens of this state. Mobility and access is enhanced by the coordination of resources from a host of categorical programs.
Coordination is a tool of universal value for improving service efficiency and effectiveness.
Through coordination, limited resources can be used to best advantage. As the recommendations are finalized, we encourage the BRCT to support, and include funding for, special transportation needs and the coordination initiative. Thank you for the opportunity to offer these suggestions on behalf of the Agency Council on Coordinated Transportation. Jeanne Ward, ACCT Administrator, is available to respond to informational needs of BRCT members and staff.
