Protecting Rural Transportation in Colorado | The Fight for SB26-063
In this episode, we sit down with guests from the San Luis Valley, Red Willows (Mark and Kindra), to discuss the real challenges facing rural transportation providers in Colorado with a broker-based system. We break down the impact of broker-based systems in Medicaid transportation and why many rural operators struggle under centralized control. From dispatching and compliance to scheduling and patient care, local providers understand their communities in ways outside systems cannot replicate. Senate Bill 26-063 represents a critical step toward preserving independent operations, allowing providers to maintain accountability, reliability, and service quality for the people who depend on them. This conversation highlights the difference between systems designed from a distance and services built within the communities they serve.
