About the Plan
The Coordinated Public Transit–Human Services Transportation Plan (CPT-HSTP) documents the Montachusett Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MMPO) region’s unmet human-service transportation needs of seniors and individuals with disabilities. The CPT-HST Plan has been developed by the MMPO as a tool to help local transportation providers and communities improve transportation services, increase efficiency of service delivery, and expand outreach to meet growing needs.
This plan is required by Federal transit law in order for a region to access the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Section 5310 funding. These plans must be developed and approved every four years through a process that includes participation by seniors, individuals with disabilities, representatives of public, private, and nonprofit transportation and human services providers and other members of the public that utilize transportation services. It provides a framework to guide the investment of existing transportation resources and the acquisition of future funds.
