RCW 47.06B.010
Finding -- Intent. (Effective until June 30, 2011.)

The legislature finds that transportation systems for persons with special needs are not operated as efficiently as possible. In too many cases, programs established by the legislature to assist persons with special needs can not be accessed due to these inefficiencies and coordination barriers.

     It is the intent of the legislature that public transportation agencies, pupil transportation programs, private nonprofit transportation providers, and other public agencies sponsoring programs that require transportation services coordinate those transportation services. Through coordination of transportation services, programs will achieve increased efficiencies and will be able to provide more rides to a greater number of persons with special needs.
