Whatcom Human Services Transportation Plan (HSTP)
What is human services transportation?
Human services transportation serves people with special transportation needs - individuals who are unable to transport themselves or purchase transportation because of a disability, income status, or age.
What is the HSTP?
The HSTP assesses existing transportation options for people with special transportation needs, identifies gaps in the current system, and develops strategies to address those gaps. WA State law defines people with special transportation needs as “persons, including their personal attendants, who because of physical or mental disability, income status, or age are unable to transport themselves or purchase transportation.” Read a one-pager on the HSTP.
