“With rise of mobility options in the private sector, the promise of public-private partnerships is great. From first/last mile coverage to paratransit services, agreements with Transportation Network Companies (TNCs) such as Uber and Lyft can extend access to mobility to everyone in a community. Ridesourcing operations offer an exciting opportunity to provide on-demand service for individuals with disabilities and potentially delivering operational and management cost savings for agencies. With this innovation, agencies must consider the needs of individuals with disabilities and older adults as agreements are launched.

This informational brief, Considerations for TNC Partnerships: Seniors and Individuals with Disabilities, includes a checklist-type format to facilitate its use as agencies and others enter into agreements with non-traditional types of organizations to support mobility innovation.”
