Coordinate Transportation
ADS is collaborating with key partners to develop a coordinated transportation system in King County. The vision is to provide mobility for the entire community: children, youth, older adults, persons with disabilities and those with low-income status.
The initial result of this effort is a plan that outlines the vision and goals for improved, well-coordinated transportation services for those who need it most.
Partners include the Puget Sound Regional Council, local and state agencies, and community providers in human services.
