Access to high-quality, affordable transportation is a Social Determinant of Health and is fundamental to mental, physical, and emotional well-being. In rural communities especially, transportation is vital to reducing social isolation, increasing food access, facilitating employment, and supporting sense of place (Henning-Smith et al., 2017). In nine counties in Ohio this vital resource is provided in part by a collection of transit and transportation providers organized under the Regional Coordinated Public Transit/Human Services Transportation Pilot Program (Pilot Program), which is housed in the Ohio Mid-Eastern Governments Association (OMEGA). The OMEGA Pilot Program includes Belmont, Carroll, Coshocton, Guernsey, Holmes, Harrison, Jefferson, Muskingum, and Tuscarawas counties. The Social Return on Investment (SROI) Report serves as an invaluable tool that allows the impact of funding to be accurately represented and understood. You can access the Social Return on Investment (SROI) Report here.
