MAJOR PROGRAM CHANGES Back to Top
  • The Governor's Budget includes $144 million in Public Transportation Account funding on a one-time basis in 2007-08 to replace the General Fund share of regional center transportation costs. The regional centers contract with vendors to provide a number of services to consumers, including transportation services. Transportation services include services provided by public transit, specialized transportation companies and family members or friends. These services allow persons with developmental disabilities to participate in programs and other activities identified in their Individual Program Plans.

  • The Governor's Budget includes a reduction of $44 million General Fund in DDS' budget to reflect increased federal financial participation for services at ICF/DDs. The Department of Health Care Services is pursuing a revision to the Medi-Cal state plan to include coverage and payment for day program and non-medical transportation services for regional center consumers with developmental disabilities residing in intermediate care facilities. These services currently are provided and paid for by the regional centers solely through state General Fund dollars.
