Summary & Background
The Senior Transportation Services Assessment was conducted by an external consultant, Calyptus Consulting, to provide an operational analysis of the traditional (bus) and alternative (rideshare) programs in preparation for the new solicitations.
Scope of Work: A three-part assessment included an in-depth analysis of the current state of senior transportation services, operational analysis of both programs, and a 5-year cost sustainability assessment. The oral presentation is an overview of the key findings and recommendations.
Community Impact: The Senior Transportation program enables seniors to age in place and continue to remain active in their community. 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. The analysis will be a major factor in the development of the new transportation RFPs to be solicited in 2026.
