Rural and Human Services Coordinated Transportation Workshop

Hosted By: The Governor’s Office of Highway Safety, Strategic Highway Safety Plan, Older Driver Task Force; and the Georgia Council on Aging, Georgia for a Lifetime Initiative

“Rural and Human Services Transportation Coordination” legislation in Georgia passed at the 2010 Session of the General Assembly. As in a number of states, it is now required that agencies work together to deliver transportation in a coordinated, efficient manner to all Georgians.

This much-needed legislation opens up tremendous opportunities for many Georgians who are in need of transportation service, and for governmental agencies, non-profit organizations, and businesses meeting the transportation needs of Georgians. You and your agency or business need to know what is involved and at stake as Georgia prepares to launch this new law.

The Workshop
The Governor’s Office of Highway Safety, Strategic Highway Safety Plan, Older Driver Task Force; and the Georgia Council on Aging, in partnership with the Department of Community Health; the Department of Human Services, Division of Aging Services are sponsoring a one-day Workshop on the new law. The Workshop will bring together numerous experts on this topic.
