Background and Discussion:
Request to renew two vendor contract; A New Haven Transportation and WHC HTX LLC dba zTrip. The providers provide transportation services for Harris County RIDES and the Non-Emergency Medical Transportation Program that serve elderly, disabled and venerable low-income populations. These programs fill in the gaps for transportation services in the County. RIDES is a county-wide service, and the Medical Program serves unincorporated Harris County. These services are provided by Federal Transit grant funding.
Expected Impact:
Continuation of transportation services to elderly, disabled and low-income venerable populations.
Alternative Options:
If contract not renewed, populations of elderly, disabled and low-income left unserved by transportation.
