COIC is updating the Central Oregon Human Services Transportation Coordination Plan and we want to hear from Deschutes County residents. The public, including citizens and representatives of any organizations that work on human services and transportation issues, are invited to attend the Deschutes County Transportation Strategy Session on March 6th at 2 - 3:30 PM at the Hawthorne Conference Room, COIC Admin Building, 334 NE Hawthorne Ave.
The purpose of the meeting is to refine strategies for transportation solutions related to populations identified as low-income, persons with disabilities, and seniors.
The plan will be reviewed by the Special Transportation Funding (STF) committee of Deschutes County later this spring, and subsequently forwarded to the Deschutes County Court for adoption. While the Coordination Plan is a regional plan for Central Oregon, the plan will contain chapters dedicated to each county’s unique needs and solutions.
The purpose of the Coordination Plan is to 1) identify transportation gaps and barriers for persons with disabilities, senior citizens, and low-income populations in accessing needed health and social services; and 2) to prioritize solutions (actions, projects, programs, operations, etc.) to meet identified needs and/or leverage opportunities. Projects using certain funding sources – including state Special Transportation Fund (STF) and federal FTA 5310 (Senior and Disabled Transportation) – must be consistent with the Plan. The “coordination” part of the title stems from the fact that there is always more work we can do to better coordinate among transportation providers and health and human service providers to maximize the efficient use of transportation resources and build better systems that serve more people.
There will be a meeting of the Central Oregon Intergovernmental Council Executive Committee on Thursday, November 1, 2018. The meeting is scheduled from 5:30-7:00 PM. The meeting will be held at the Redmond PublicWorks training room, 243 E. Antler Avenue, Redmond, OR 97756.

Executive Director Announcement for COIC
Bend, Oregon: On September 11, 2018, the Board of COIC unanimously agreed to the appointment of Tammy Baney to serve as the Executive Director of COIC beginning January 1, 2019
The recruitment process for the Executive Director began in May after Karen Friend, after serving 22 years at COIC, announced her desire to retire. The COIC Board adopted hiring procedures and conducted an extensive national search to ensure the greatest access to a national candidate pool and provide the greatest opportunity to find the best candidate for the position.
Ms. Baney has had the opportunity to work across many domains, all directed toward supporting the success of communities in the region. She works as an elected official, director, and chair of numerous statewide committees and commissions that affords COIC the opportunity to put her knowledge of transportation, housing, natural resources, economic development, youth development, and regional convening to work to lead the evolution and assure the relevance of COIC into the future. In addition, Ms. Baney has developed strong local, state and federal relationships over the last several years that the COIC Board felt would be an asset to the Executive Director role and to COIC.
COIC Vice-Chair, Bartt Brick stated “COIC is honored and excited to have Ms. Baney join our dedicated and committed staff Ms. Baney’s passion for Central Oregon and her commitment to both economic vitality and being an active voice for the underserved and the marginalized in our community make her a perfect choice to lead COIC forward.” Ms. Baney stated “I’m delighted to accept this challenging, yet exciting position. COIC plays an important role in coalescing Central Oregon’s voice around important issues and we provide critical services to meet our region’s needs. I’m eager to work with our communities and the COIC team to identify areas in which we can strengthen and enhance the value we provide to our region.”
