Cost Allocation Meets Coordination: A Mini-Course for Human Services Transportation Providers

What do cost allocation and coordination have to do with each other?  This brief, online, 3-module course will help you understand why you need to go through the cost allocation process, and how it can help you do a better job of managing your transportation program.  You will learn how to:  understand and use easy-to-understand cost allocation models; figure out your true operating costs; determine fares and contract rates; determine the difference between pricing, cost and value; and then communicate this to others!  Participants will leave with a better sense of how your fully allocated costs can be an important tool for your coordination efforts.  The live course was held on Wednesdays, October 14, 21, and 28 from 11:00 am – 12:30 pm ET.

This course targets human services providers of transportation.
