The CPT-HSTP identifies available transportation services, needs, gaps, and recommendations to benefit people with special transportation needs, including people with disabilities, seniors, and people with low income. The CPT-HSTP provides strategies for meeting local needs, prioritizes transportation services for funding and implementation, and identifies strategies and preferred alternatives for improving transportation coordination between providers. The plan identifies each communitys unmet needs and develops transportation alternatives based on this information. Outreach efforts and developing partnerships with the regions stakeholders are vital to developing an effective CPT-HSTP. Additionally, all regional Human Services Transportation Projects must be included in the CPT-HSTP to be eligible for Washington State Department of Transportation or Federal Transit Administration funding.
