Developmental Disabilities Program Areas of Emphasis
Transportation
- The U. S Department of Transportation (DOT) and the U. S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) are both interested in, and
take responsibility for assisting transportation services for persons who are somehow disadvantaged in terms of their ability to obtain their own
transportation. Such persons may include the elderly, persons with disabilities or with low or limited incomes, the young, and others without access
to private automobiles. Many of these persons need specialized transportation to access the human service programs funded by DHHS.
