Summary & Background: The Department of Senior Services recommends approval of this contract. The Senior Transportation Services Assessment that will be provided via this contract will be beneficial to the development of the upcoming transportation RFP. FY26 will be the last contract year for both transportation vendors Transdev and Common Courtesy.
Scope of Work: The scope consists of three phases. Phase 1: Assess the current state of Fulton County senior transportation services including services accessible to residents outside of the Fulton County program. Phase 2: Provide an operational analysis of traditional (Transdev) and alternative transportation (Common Courtesy) services. Phase 3: Provide a 5-year cost sustainability assessment for all County transportation services for seniors. Final project deliverables will include a 1) Detailed analysis of the riders of the Fulton County Senior Transportation population; 2) Detailed analysis of the current and projected senior transportation capabilities and services needed for a large, urban service area; 3) Projections of the senior transportation population with consideration for demographic and aging trends and transportation industry standards and 4) a written and oral presentation of the final report to the Board of Commissioners, County Manager, Department of Senior Services staff and stakeholders as requested by the County.
Community Impact: The senior transportation program is currently providing services for an average of 3,200 seniors monthly. The Department of Senior Services Transportation program has enabled seniors to remain engaged in their communities and access trips to senior centers, pharmacies, doctor appointments, and other activities that support daily living. This service has become a lifeline for seniors to connect to their community and to prevent senior isolation.
Department Recommendation: The Department recommends approval.
Project Implications: Fulton County's senior population continues to grow in tandem with the projected growth of seniors nationally. It is estimated by 2030, 20% of the US population will be seniors. Senior transportation is the department’s most requested service. If approved, then this contract will analyze the current transportation model. The analysis will be a major factor in the development of the new transportation RFP to be solicited in 2026.
Community Issues/Concerns: There are no community issues/concerns.
Department Issues/Concerns: There are no department issues/concerns.
