The mission of the
Transportation Department is to safely and efficiently transport all
our people throughout the county while supporting their choices
through community partnerships and quality services. It is our goal
to have easy access to affordable and timely transportation to the
services and support of their choice.
Individuals are encouraged to use the least
restrictive means of transportation, which could include Regional
Transit Authority (RTA), Black and White Cab, self transportation,
community placement vehicles, group home vans, or board owned
wheelchair equipped buses.
People who are employed in the community
may use board owned vehicles, RTA, or self transportation to get to
their jobs. A nominal fee is charged when using board owned
services.
We also provide contracted transportation
with Job
and Family Services.

are responsible for reporting work schedules to the transportation
department. There is a nominal fee for the use of Board owned vehicles
used for community placement.
Board Owned Buses

individuals to school, workshop, community outings and field trips
