The purpose of this workshop is to provide an opportunity for an open dialogue and review of best practices for considering the safe reopening of your organization and how to maintain specific essential services during the COVID-19 Pandemic for nonprofit human services transportation providers of older adults and persons with disabilities.

As agencies begin to provide transportation services again, ensuring everyone’s safety is essential. This workshop will explore steps employees can take to minimize the spread of COVID-19 while transporting passengers. Hear best practices on how drivers can be diligent in their efforts to slow the spread of the virus while providing the best service to your consumer.

Vehicle sharing is a unique program that involves vehicles acquired through a federal grant program. Agencies share an accessible vehicle that enables people with disabilities to get out of their homes. Many social services providers say that a major challenge they face is a lack of transportation as public transit options may not be the best fit.
