Solutions Package for Adult Day Services Transportation Programs

Transportation is vital to quality of life for most -- a tie to both independence and community -- and often a challenge for many older adults and people with disabilities. This is especially true for older adults who no longer drive and are therefore reliant on others for their transportation needs to attend social functions and attain goods and services, among other tasks. Adult Day Services (ADS) is just one of the many services that requires transportation for older adults and people with disabilities. 

While most states do not require provision of transportation in ADS, transportation has been identified as a key to success for ADS programs (Partners in Care). Provision of transportation services proves to be a challenge for ADS providers, as well as an access issue for participants and their families. There are a variety of barriers that exist for ADS providers who are either considering or currently providing transportation services for their participants.

The goal of this Solutions Package is to address some of these concerns and potentially reduce barriers to the provision of transportation services for ADS programs and improve access for ADS participants.
