This model focuses on community consultation, identification and coordination of transport resources, and tailoring services to meet whole of community needs through a strategic approach. Forty-nine services were implemented in 2003 in the Coorong, Karoonda East Murray, Mid Murray and Southern Mallee Council districts. A recent evaluation revealed that for every $1 spent, $5 of benefits had been gained, excluding any benefits resulting from reduced road accident injuries or fatalities. Complementing these services, a specific special medical service was implemented in September 2002 to address access to specialist medical treatment in Adelaide. Following the success of this plan, similar studies are being conducted across South Australia by the OPT. (Author/publisher) For the covering entry of this conference, please see ITRD abstract no.
