O.C.G.A. 32-12-5 (2010)
32-12-5. Evaluation, analysis and review


The Georgia Coordinating Committee for Rural and Human Services Transportation shall examine the manner in which transportation services are provided by the participating agencies represented on the committee. Such examination shall include but not be limited to:

(1) An analysis of all programs administered by participating agencies, including capital and operating costs, and overlapping or duplication of services among such programs, with emphasis on how to overcome such overlapping or duplication;

(2) The means by which transportation services are coordinated among state, local, and federal funding source programs;

(3) The means by which both capital and operating costs for transportation could be combined or shared among agencies, including at a minimum shared purchase of vehicles and maintenance of such vehicles;

(4) An analysis of those areas which might appropriately be consolidated to lower the costs of program delivery without sacrificing program quality to clients, including shared use of vehicles for client trips regardless of the funding source which pays for their trips;

(5) An analysis of state of the art efforts to coordinate rural and human services transportation elsewhere in the nation, including at a minimum route scheduling so as to avoid duplicative trips in a given locality;

(6) A review of any limitations which may be imposed by various federally funded programs and how the state can manage within those limitations as it reviews possible sharing opportunities;

(7) An analysis of how agency programs interact with and impact state, local, or regional transportation services performed on behalf of the general public through state, local, or regional transit systems;

(8) An evaluation of potential cost sharing opportunities available for clients served by committee agencies so as to maximize service delivery efficiencies and to obtain the maximum benefit on their behalf with the limited amount of funds available; and

(9) An analysis of possible methods to reduce costs, including, but not limited to, greater use of privatization.
