Rides to Wellness Demonstration Grants Program Evaluation
Research Report
2021
Description
To address transportation barriers to healthcare access, the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) funded eight Rides to Wellness demonstration projects through the 49 U.S.C. § 5312 program to identify and test promising, replicable public transportation healthcare access solutions that support the “triple aim” of increased access to healthcare, improved health outcomes, and reduced healthcare costs. Federal transportation law 49 U.S.C. § 5312 requires an independent evaluation of demonstration projects. . This evaluation report includes an overview of the Rides to Wellness Initiative, profiles of each demonstration project including project outcomes and lessons learned, and findings and recommendations.
