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 services are provided by Federal Transit grant funding.

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.
