United Way, AAESA, Martin Resource Center and MACC Focus on Transportation
The Social/Intellectual Committee of the Multi-Agency Collaborative Council (MACC), Allegan County United Way, Allegan Area Educational Service Agency (AAESA), and Martin Resource Center (MRC) are partnering to launch a county transportation pilot.
The purpose for the pilot is to 1) discover way to effectively identify and tap the current transportation resources in our county and 2) to demonstrate the need to improve the existing transportation system in Allegan County.
The committee researched how existing vehicles that provide transportation might be able to assist the Allegan County Transportation Service (ACT) in transporting people in need. They quickly realized that the AAESA and local school districts have buses on Allegan County roads Monday – Friday, and have “down times” between the delivery and pick up of their students. Ultimately, working with the AAESA, the county educational agency that coordinates county-wide Special Education student transportation, the pilot project was launched and will offer a pilot transportation service between the MRC and the cities of Plainwell, Otsego, and Allegan.
