TRANSPORTATION - Human Service Transporation Plan (HSTP)

The HSTP has been a part of the NCICG family since July of 2007. HSTP or Human Service Transportation Plan is part of SAFETEA- LU the federal transportation funding bill. It required that all states come up with written plans to show gaps in public transportation for the disabled, elderly and low income in rural areas and bring providers and the public together. 

NCICG is responsible for the coordination of 2 of the 11 regions in Illinois. Since the inception of the program NCICG has had great success. We have gotten well over $500,000.00 in JARC and New Freedom grant money. We are also in the process with IDOT and the City of Dixon for an ARRA grant to build a transportation facility in that town that will not only help the local transportation group but, brought Trail Ways and Greyhound service to that community. We have also gotten a countless number of grants for vehicles to improve the fleets that serve our area.
