Appropriately applied, transportation coordination leads to significant operational improvements and cost reductions, including: lower per trip operation costs; less overall workload; standardizing reporting and data management capabilities; maximized relative scheduling and routing efficiency; increased security; increased customer service; and a significant decrease in technology costs. Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) have not only become very sophisticated and effective at supporting complex coordination issues, but new transportation technology is now easy to implement and operate at a price point that can fit into any transportation budget.
"The development, implementation, and maintenance of responsive, comprehensive, coordinated community transportation systems is essential for persons with disabilities, person with low incomes, and older adults who rely on such transportation to fully participate in their communities", stated President George Bush in his Executive Order on Human Service Transportation Coordination.
