Background and Discussion:
Harris County RIDES provides demand response service to Meals on Wheels Montgomery County using
current vendors to provide transportation service to seniors and individuals with disabilities and low-income
populations in rural Montgomery County. This service is the result of regional coordination and transportation
efficiencies that started in 2015 and has been effective for both organizations to increase access to services.
Amount of agreement is $200,000 reimbursable to Harris County so there is no expense to Harris County for
services provided
