Download or read book The Role of Transit in Emergency Evacuation written by Transportation Research Board and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2008-12-09 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: TRB Special Report 294: The Role of Transit in Emergency Evacuation explores the roles that transit systems can play in accommodating the evacuation, egress, and ingress of people from and to critical locations in times of emergency. The report focuses on major incidents that could necessitate a partial to full evacuation of the central business district or other large portion of an urban area. According to the committee that produced the report, transit agencies could play a significant role in an emergency evacuation, particularly in transporting carless and special needs populations, but few urban areas have planned for a major disaster and evacuation that could involve multiple jurisdictions or multiple states in a region, or have focused on the role of transit and other public transportation providers in such an incident. The report offers recommendations for making transit a full partner in emergency evacuation plans and operations, while cautioning emergency managers, elected officials, and the general public to be realistic in their expectations, particularly in a no-notice incident that occurs during a peak service period.

Download or read book Iowa Medicaid Non emergency Medical Transportation System Review and Options for Improvements written by and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inadequate transportation has long been identified as a major issue in rural Iowa, and it is particularly acute for people of all ages with disabilities and their families, including Medicaid members. In 2005 the Iowa Department of Human Services (DHS) received a federal Real Choices Systems Transportation Grant to address a number of barriers to community living faced by this population, including transportation. Iowa Medicaid Enterprise (IME), charged with administration of the grant, was interested in the ways in which a statewide, Medicaid-funded transportation brokerage could improve services for Medicaid members. Currently, Medicaid members are reimbursed for transporting themselves, or providers are reimbursed for transporting individuals, which places the bulk of the responsibility on consumers, DHS Income Maintenance workers and case managers. Under a brokerage, IME would contract with an entity to (1) establish a network of transportation providers; (2) maintain a call center; (3) ensure compliance with Medicaid regulations related to eligibility of the individual and trip; (4) arrange and pay for the trips; and (5) monitor services and transportation providers for compliance and quality. States that have established brokerages have, in general, experienced an increase in the number of trips and a reduction in the cost per trip. In some instances, significant problems with fraud have been addressed. The brokerage concept has been actively supported at the federal level for both Medicaid and the general population.
