Through coordination of the delivery of transportation
services in Cuyahoga County, the STC seeks to increase the Quantity and Quality of
Transportation Services Available to Seniors.
Coordination is achieved by:
(1) centralizing management and operational
structures for senior transportation services; and
(2) integrating local
municipal and nonprofit providers scheduling and dispatching
functions into one centralized Call Center using the EasyRides © state-of-the-art
software system
The new model encompasses a family of services
concept, and uses all of the resources available in the community
to provide seniors with a range of transportation options to meet
their individual needs.
While the STC provides centralized management
and a general operational structure for coordinated senior transportation
services, the provision of actual transportation
remains local through municipal governance and nonprofit agencies that are
familiar to you. Chances are your will recognized the vehicles as those of
your area senior center, assisted living facility or hospital. The Strategic Plan contemplates the development
of up to eight (8) primary service areas. The next collaborative
expected to join the STC is the Transportation Consortium
Coordinating Committee (TC3) which includes Shaker Heights,
Mayfield Heights. University Heights and limited service in Beachwood.The
remaining areas identified have been targeted for planning purpose.
The areas were developed for maximum benefit to the target population.
The map below outlines the Implementation of service areas as envisioned.
