GOAL #5
Broad Systems
Change/Emerging Issues
Systemic barriers continue to prevent individuals with I/DD from fully accessing
transportation, postsecondary education, and employment opportunities.
Without sustainable funding and strong interagency partnerships, the programs
that support community inclusion can be difficult to maintain over the long term.
The Council worked on multiple fronts to
sustain and expand programs across
these areas, leveraging state and local
funding to create lasting, long-term
solutions that serve individuals with
I/DD throughout Florida.
Key Achievements:
4,669
Floridians that gained
access to transportation,
training, and inclusion

60,836 trips, with 92% used for employment or job training purposes, and
PSTA served 566 individuals with disabilities per day across seven counties.
