We cannot let the members loose track of the importance of what has been “coined” as the NMT increase. In large part, this is also H/PC Transportation.

• H/PC Transportation – projected 54% increase to current rates totaling $5.93M per year. Increase from $14.31M to $20.24M. Everyone is currently losing money on this service!
• Community Access Transportation during Day Services – current funding is $0, projected is $11.76M per year. This is killing Day Service providers!
• NMT – this provides transportation to and from Day Services in smaller group sizes. Projected increase in funding is $2.73M per year. This is the most controversial one, the other 2 are no brainers and MUST be addressed!
