Transportation-Disadvantaged Populations: Some Coordination Efforts Among Programs Providing Transportation Services, but Obstacles Persist Millions of Americans are unable to provide their own transportation--or even use public transportation--for Medicaid appointments, Head Start classes, job training, or other services. Such "transportation disadvantaged" persons are often disabled, elderly, or low income. Various federal programs are authorized to provide transportation services to them. GAO was asked to (1) identify the federal programs that fund such transportation services and the amount spent on them, (2) assess the extent of coordination among the various programs, and (3) identify any obstacles to coordination and potential ways to overcome such obstacles. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-697/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-697.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-697/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-697.pdf GAO-03-697 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-03-697 Other Written Product GAO-03-697; Transportation-Disadvantaged Populations: Some Coordination Efforts Among Programs Providing Transportation Services, but Obstacles Persist; Disadvantaged persons Federal aid for transportation Interagency relations Program evaluation Public assistance programs Strategic planning Arizona Florida New York South Dakota Wisconsin United States Code Title 42 Section 126 42 U.S.C. 126 United States Public Law 477 (102nd Congress) Public Law 102-477 United States Public Law 62 (103rd Congress) Public Law 103-62 United States Public Law 272 (103rd Congress) Public Law 103-272 United States Public Law 178 (105th Congress) Public Law 105-178 United States Public Law 220 (105th Congress) Public Law 105-220
