The Immediate Needs Transportation Program provides subsidized taxi service and/or transit subsidy for Los Angeles County residents with limited resources who have a transportation need and no other resources to meet that need.
Project Description
The Immediate Needs Transportation Program (INTP) provides subsidized taxi service and/or a transit subsidy for Los Angeles County residents with limited resources who have a transportation need and no other resources to meet that need.
The service is made available throughout Los Angeles County via a wide range of not-for-profit and government agencies that distribute taxi coupons, transit tokens and/or scrip to their clients. Metro provides funding for this program.
The Immediate Needs Transportation Program is built upon a cooperative partnership between the two lead agencies: FAME Assistance Corp. (FAC) and the International Institute of Los Angeles (IILA). Each operates under an agreement with Metro, shares in major decision-making related to the program's direction, manages the program in its own geographic area, and reports directly to Metro.
