Why Have the Workshop?

“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.
