Coordinated Transportation

The Georgia Department of Human Resources (DHR) Coordinated Transportation System operates across divisional lines to provide quality transportation services for DHR consumers in a safe, efficient and effective manner.  DHR is comprised of several divisions; among them are the Division of Aging, the Division of Mental Health Developmental Disabilities and Addictive Disorders, the Division of Rehabilitative Services, the Department of Family and Children Services, and the Division of Public Health. The Department of Labors’ GoodWorks! Program is also supported under the DHR Coordinated Transportation System.

The CSRA RDC serves as the primary contractor with sub-contractual agreements with the area transportation service providers.  Through these arrangements, the CSRA RDC is responsible for administering the transportation of consumers for AGING, MHDDAD, DFCS, DOL - GOODWORKS, DPH, and DRS.  The RDC’s administrative staff solicit potential providers including governmental, private, for-profit, and non-profit operators.  The administrative staff also prepare and submit proposals and established contractual agreements with subcontractors.  Throughout the year, technical support and training is provided to subcontractors to ensure that all reports, documents, and correspondence are transmitted and maintained in an accurate, efficient manner. 

During the past fiscal year, the CSRA RDC’s administrative staff managed contracts totaling $2,181,024 for Burke, Columbia, Glascock, Jenkins, Lincoln, McDuffie, Richmond, Screven, Taliaferro, Warren, Washington, and Wilkes Counties.
