. It is the intent of the Legislature, through the enactment
of this part, to improve transportation service required by social
service recipients by promoting the consolidation of social service
transportation services so that the following benefits may accrue:
(a) Combined purchasing of necessary equipment so that some cost
savings through larger number of unit purchases can be realized.
(b) Adequate training of vehicle drivers to insure the safe
operation of vehicles. Proper driver training should promote lower
insurance costs and encourage use of the service.
(c) Centralized dispatching of vehicles so that efficient use of
vehicles results.
(d) Centralized maintenance of vehicles so that adequate and
routine vehicle maintenance scheduling is possible.
(e) Centralized administration of various social service
transportation programs so that elimination of numerous duplicative
and costly administrative organizations can occur. Centralized
administration of social service transportation services can provide
more efficient and cost effective transportation services permitting
social service agencies to respond to specific social needs.
(f) Identification and consolidation of all existing sources of
funding for social service transportation services can provide more
effective and cost efficient use of scarce resource dollars.
Consolidation of categorical program funds can foster eventual
elimination of unnecessary and unwarranted program constraints.
