Transportation

Coordinated Transportation System
“The Department of Human Services Coordinated Transportation system serves the consumers of the DHS divisions, including the Division of Aging Services (DAS), the Division of Family and Children Services (DFCS), as well as consumers of the Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities (DBHDD) and the NEW Georgia Vocational Rehabilitation Agency,  (GVRA).

The goal of the DHS Coordinated Transportation System is to  enhance the lives of consumers of Georgia by strengthening families while supporting their self-sufficiency and helping to protect vulnerable children and adults”

The Southern Georgia Regional Commission (SGRC) oversees the day to day operation of the DHS Coordinated Transportation program by working closely with the more than 60 Human Service Providers (HSPs) throughout our 18 county region. These HSPs are able to order transportation for their clients via DHS’ new online TRIP$ system. The SGRC plays an active role in monitoring this system and working to increase its efficiency and improve customer satisfaction.
