Is there an outside agency that can coordinate the pick-up and drop-off schedules and routes for a large day program that provides its own transportation?

SCDD Description

A business that coordinates and develops better routs and time schedules for transporters that pick up multiple self-advocates.

 DDS Description

A Transportation Broker coordinates transportation services rather than providing the rides directly.
Responsibilities include planning routes and schedules, monitoring quality and safety, and supporting the regional center in managing transportation services.

 Example

Your family member attends a large day program that provides transportation to and from the program in its fleet of vans. The program does not have the technology or staff expertise needed for efficient routing and scheduling of shared rides for its participants. Therefore, the program uses a regional center-vendored broker that specializes in this type of work.
