Coordinated Public Transit-Human Services Transportation
One mission of RPC is to identify the transportation needs of individuals with disabilities, older adults, and people with low incomes, and provide strategies for meeting these needs, and prioritize transportation services for funding and implementation. The Coordinated Public Transit-Human Services Transportation Plan, generally referred to as the Coordinated Plan, directly addresses this mission. The development and implementation of the plan takes place hand in hand with other RPC transit planning initiatives and citizen participation programs.

Transit Plan for the Greater New Orleans Region (2007)
