Coordinated Public Transit - Human
Services Transportation Plan
For
Region III: Boone, Clay, Kanawha, and
Putnam Counties
The Coordinated Public Transit – Human Services Transportation Plan serves as a guiding document to the development of Public and Specialized transportation in the four county region of Boone, Clay, Kanawha, and Putnam Counties. The plan was developed through the identification of the existing transportation resources, a review of the unmet needs and gaps in service and recommendations for improvement focused on seven (7) goals. The methodology used in this plan includes appropriate stakeholders in the region and a process that included participation by older adults and individuals with disabilities. The Regional Intergovernmental Council’s (RIC) prior planning efforts were reviewed in this plan and the RIC continues to be a party to leading implementation from this plan.
