Kim Taylor (FAYCO) explained to the group that DD regulations require any driver, whether public or private, transporting individuals during the hours they are covered by the DD provider, must have direct service training which has cut the amount of public transportation they can allow without properly trained drivers.

It was announced that the HSTP Coordinators will be attending a Mobility Management training in February.

It was asked that the Coordinators give an update at the next meeting on ITS. Sheila Niederhofer offered information on this topic.

Elton informed the group that he is planning to have the next regional meeting via the internet if there are no objections. Everyone agreed that would be fine. The next meeting will be planned for the end of March & the committee will be informed of more details as they occur.
