Percent of Responding Agencies (n=61)
Differences in the types of interest emerged when distinguishing the responses of the public
transit operators from the human services organizations (Figure 3-7). Eleven human services
organizations indicated they were not interested at this time in any of the coordination options
listed while no public transit operators selected that option. The public operators were most
interested in coordinating service operations, coordinating dispatch and coordinating driver
training and re-training. There was some overlap with human services agencies who indicated
that coordinating service operations and trip scheduling or dispatch ranked highest.
