||| FROM RICHARD URI for FRIENDS OF RURAL TRANSPORTATION |||
We want to know about you and the help you need with transportation. For some individuals that don’t drive or don’t have access to a car and require other options to meet their travel needs, finding transportation can be a challenge. San Juan County is looking to better understand the travel needs of residents and these transportation limitations as part of the Human Services Transportation Study. Your opinion is important to help us determine the transportation needs of our community.
This survey is available in English and Spanish. We have physical copies of the survey available upon request or at your local senior center or the Health & Community Services building at 145 Rhone Street in Friday Harbor.

About the HSTP
Every four years, San Juan County develops a Coordinated Public Transit-Human Services Transportation Plan (HSTP). This means working and coordinating with community members, key stakeholders, and other partners in order to help us prioritize funding for improving transportation throughout the county. This plan helps our county identify transportation needs and develop solutions to improve transportation access and opportunities for seniors, youth, people with disabilities, people with lower incomes, limited English speakers, and anyone without access to a private vehicle.
The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) requires all Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs)/Regional Transportation Planning Organizations (RTPOs) to develop a Human Services Transportation Plan every four years.
Thank you all for assisting with this important process.
