Today, I testified in support of Senate Bill 22, the Rural and Human Services Transportation Coordinating Council, to the Rail and Transit Subcommittee. It easily passed and is headed to the full committee.
SB 22 would require that all six agencies that provide transportation to meet on a regular basis to best leverage federal funding and create efficiencies in the way they deliver and dispatch services for people who have disabilities and people who are aging. Transportation continues to be one of the biggest hurdles for folks ,and I think this is a step in the right direction.
The advocates for aging services have been great to work with. Collaboration is definitely the key to getting anything done!
All About Developmental Disabilities (AADD) is Atlanta's preeminent resource on developmental disabilities, providing support services to families for more than 55 years. We are often the one place where people with developmental disabilities can go to achieve personal empowerment, family stability and community participation. AADD provides family support; public policy and advocacy; and community engagement.
