Older Adult Community Transportation, Seattle WA
The City of Seattle Human Services Department’s (HSD) Aging and Disability Services (ADS) Division is seeking applications for the Older Adult Community Transportation Request for Proposal.
This RFP is seeking applications from agencies interested in providing community transportation services for older adults (60+) in King County. HSD invests in community transportation to improve the mobility of older people in King County. This enables those who would otherwise be socially isolated to maintain access to activities and services that allow them to maintain their health and age in place. Community transportation services play a critical role in closing transportation gaps and supporting health equity. Funding is available in two program areas: Health Services Transportation and Food Access Transportation.
Approximately $711,500 is available through this RFP from the following sources:

HSD intends to fund up to four proposals. Initial awards will be made for the period of July 1, 2019 – June 30, 2020. While it is the City’s intention to renew agreements resulting from this funding opportunity on an annual basis through the 2022-2023 program year, future funding will be contingent upon performance and funding availability. The City of Seattle Human Services Department seeks to contract with a diverse group of providers to help ensure the result of HSD’s Older Adult Community Transportation investment is that all older adults experience stable health and are able to age in place.
