Wis. Admin. Code Department of Transportation Trans 1.035 - Service priorities

(1)

(a) Counties may establish the transportation of seniors and individuals with disabilities to medical, nutritional and work-related activities as the priority for the specialized transportation services receiving program aid, as allowed under s. 85.21(4) (a), Stats. A county may limit the use of its allocated aid to subsidize only those trips which are made for one or more of the purposes specified under s. 85.21(4) (a), Stats.

(b) If other than priority trips are to be subsidized with the allocated aid and the amount of trip requests exceed the capacity of subsidized services, then a county may establish service priority according to trip purposes. Priority trips shall have the highest priority in whatever order the county determines.

(c) A county need not employ techniques to impose service prioritization according to trip purpose if the transportation projects receiving allocated aid have enough capacity to satisfy all of the demand placed on them.

(3) A county may not discriminate on the basis of age against passengers requesting priority trips. This requirement may be met by each individual project receiving allocated aid or by the combined services of 2 or more projects receiving allocated aid.
