TRANSPORTATION INVENTORY REPORT

Introduction

The Transportation Inventory Report for FY 2016-17 is the Step I in a three-step planning effort, as determined by the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) – Public Transportation Division. This planning effort is made possible through a federally funded grant, in which BVCOG was awarded through TxDOT for the time period of September 2015 through February 2017.

Purpose

Providing an inventory of transportation resources within the region provides BVCOG, and its region, a comprehensive look at the vehicles and personnel used to provide transportation to senior citizens and persons with disabilities within the region. This inventory will be used in Step II of this process to identify the needs of the region, and perform an analysis of gaps within the network. Once gaps are identified, a comprehensive plan update will be performed in late 2016 and 2017 to create a vision for the region, based upon this initial information.

Although this report will be completed in February 2016, BVCOG intends on updating this report periodically through this planning effort (ending February 2017), as additional services may change or be found as this progress continues. Updates to this report will be published online at www.bvcog.org/programs/transportation.

TRANSPORTATION INVENTORY REPORT

Overview

The following report has been organized into the following sections:

Service Location Chart

The Service Location Chart provides an overall view of health and human service transportation providers in the region with vehicles available to be used for the use of health and human service transportation. Services including individual nursing homes and independent school districts are not included in this table, since they are not considered “available” for health and human service transportation on a regular basis.

County Profiles

County profiles provide a summary of the services, vehicles, and rides (as reported to BVCOG staff) on a county-wide scale, in addition to population demographics and geographical characteristics of the county.

Provider Profiles

Provider profiles provide a summary of each individual provider’s scope of services, hours and times of operation, vehicle inventory, level of paratransit, and ride numbers (if provided). These profiles were tabulated by individual interviews of transportation providers in late 2015.

Appendix I

Brazos Transit District (BTD) Inventory Report, collected by the Texas A&M Transportation Institute.
