DRPT’s goal in developing the CHSM Plan is to enhance access to and the efficiency of transportation for people with disabilities, older adults, low-income individuals, and veterans. The 2022 CHSM Plan identifies gaps and challenges related to transportation for these populations along with strategies to improve human services transportation in Virginia.

As part of the 2022 CHSM Plan update, DRPT created a StoryMap version of the plan to visually interpret and share data in an interactive, map-based format. The six regions of the state identified in the CHSM Plan – Southwest, Alleghany, Western, Northern, Central, and Tidewater – each have unique maps with embedded population and demographic data, as well as the region’s transit systems.
