San Luis Obispo County Coordinated Human Services – Public Transportation Plan
San Luis Obispo Council of Governments (SLOCOG), CA (2007)

For this central coastal county of 250,000 residents and 3,600 square miles, in response to SAFETEA-LU coordinated plan requirements AMMA Transit Planning undertook extensive outreach and surveying activities, prepared a demand estimate for the three target populations, and performed need and resource assessments to develop this coordinated plan.  Outreach efforts to over 400 agencies resulted in participation by almost 200 individuals, both agency representatives and consumers. The resulting plan established three goals: Coordination Structure, Building Capacity, and Information Portals.  The fifteen implementing objectives defined were accompanied by dozens of possible strategies by which identified needs could be addressed.  When the San Luis Obispo Council of Governments (SLOCOG) Board adopted the plan, they established a new position, Regional Mobility Manager, to develop the plan's direction and build new partnerships between the region's public transit operators and the larger human service agencies with transportation funding.
