Terri Lindenberg, Executive Director of Treasure Valley Transit, Inc. will present on the relationship between the Non-Emergency Medical Transportation program (NEMT) and Community Transportation. Idaho does not currently have state funding for the operations of rural public transportation programs. This presentation will outline the community transportation challenges in meeting local match requirements and how Medicaid revenue fills in the funding shortfalls in rural programs. Terri will also address the challenges in working with the previous brokers and measures taken to address critical issues. The relationship between IDHW-Division of Medicaid and the NEMT network is imperative in maintaining services in the rural areas that are served by public transit.
