The human services transportation provisions of the federal Fixing America’s Surface Transportation Act (FAST Act) law aim to improve transportation services for senior, individuals with disabilities, and persons with lower incomes by ensuring that communities coordinate transportation resources provided through multiple federal programs. Coordination will enhance transportation access, minimize duplication of services, and facilitate the most appropriate cost-effective transportation possible with available resources. To express these goals, the county is required to publish a locally-developed Coordinated Public Transit-Human Services Transportation Plan.

A meeting will be held to conduct an assessment of public transit-human services transportation coordination and to review a list of programmed transportation projects. The meeting will be facilitated by Brown County Planning Commission staff and will be held on:

Tuesday, October 19, 2021
Green Bay Metro Transportation Center
901 University Avenue
Green Bay, Wisconsin
3:00 p.m.

Please RSVP to Lisa J. Conard at [email protected] or (920) 448-6489 by Monday, October 18, 2021.
