Project Objectives

This project seeks innovative solutions for a cost allocation method/technology that accounts for divergent Federal requirements and funding sources by trip. The development of an allocated cost model for NEMT can result in improved coordination across multiple Federal Agency programs that provide funding to access human services transportation. 

This approach also responds to a Government Accountability Office audit recommendation to “finalize and issue a cost-sharing policy and clearly identify how it can be applied to programs under the purview of member agencies of the Coordinating Council that provide funding for NEMT.”¹⁰
