Through a grant from the Michigan Developmental Disabilities Council, UCP Michigan is developing and compiling information to teach people about transportation issues and services. UCP Michigan is also working to help RICCs and other local groups learn how to advocate for better transportation.
The grant works closely with the Transportation Work Group of the Michigan Developmental Disabilities Council. Work Group members and other advocates can get information about the workgroup and its meetings on this site.
