State transit contract approved for Henry County

The Henry County Board of Commissioners voted at its May 19 regular meeting to approve a resolution regarding a contract with the Georgia Department of Human Services for transportation services for elderly and disabled citizens.

Through its Coordinated Transportation System, the DHS provides transportation services for eligible individuals to attend and participate in vital services through programs offered by Senior Services, Developmental Disabilities, Henry County Counseling Centers, Department of Family and Children Services, and the Georgia Department of Labor. The state will contract with Henry County Transit to provide this service for the 2021 fiscal year.

The county could collect up to $462,154.40 during the contract period, and no matching funds are required.
