Bill > H101

This bill establishes a task force on non-emergency human services transportation to explore ways to improve collaboration, service, and operational and cost efficiencies through the brokerage system. The task force will include members from the state legislature, the human services transportation office, the Massachusetts Department of Transportation, regional transit authority administrators, and experts in human services transportation planning and current riders. The task force will make recommendations and propose guidelines to the Office of Human Services Transportation for developing non-emergency human services transportation broker services, focusing on using existing routes, providing bus passes to eligible individuals, and establishing consistent cost allocation systems. The bill also imposes a two-year moratorium on implementing any new non-emergency human services transportation contracts, allowing the current regional transit authority brokers to continue providing the service under their existing contracts.
