Its purpose is to study the feasibility" of <br /> Coordinating various transportation services now operating within the human <br /> service deli ery system of Orange County and to report the results of this to <br /> the Human Services Planning Committee. The committee's goal_ is that of improved <br /> transportation service for clients through better coordination and utilization <br /> of available resources. <br /> This su committee has conducted two surveys la an attempt to compile the <br /> necessary in ormation to formulate preliminary conclusions about coordinated <br /> transportation efforts.
