Survey Outcomes: Delaware Section 5310 Program Funding Subrecipients

Abstract

In spring 2018, the Institute for Public Administration (IPA) at University of Delaware administered a survey of Delaware agencies (i.e., subrecipients) that receive and are subrecipients of federal funding (Title 49 U.S.C. 5310, herein referred to as the Section 5310 Program) to transport senior citizens and individuals with disabilities. The survey was administered on behalf of the Delaware Transit Corporation (DTC), an operating division of the Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT), which operates DART First State Transit. The survey was planned as part of the December 2017 Public Outreach and Engagement Plan to Develop a Coordinated Public Transit–Human Services Plan for Delaware (i.e., coordinated plan). As part of a “high-tech interaction” strategy, the purpose of this survey was to gather information from current Delaware Section 5310 Program subrecipients on existing specialized transportation services, gaps, and unmet needs clients.
