Minnesota Ride Link
Linking local transportation options
Purpose:
Link veterans, military families, caregivers, and others
to a single source of information on local
transportation options
Project
Ride Link will add greater Minnesota County Veterans Service Offices,
transportation providers (public, non-profit, and inter-city bus), and veteran
service organizations to the MinnesotaHelp Network™. This existing network is a
virtual call center that facilitates inter-agency referrals and access to services.
Partner agencies can transfer calls, chat and send secure e-mail in real-time.
Expected outcomes:
 Information among partner agencies is linked through the MinnesotaHelp
Network™
 Partner agencies can refer customers quickly and efficiently
 Finding information about transportation options is easy
Progress
In 2013 the Ride Link Project enhanced technology (hardware and software) for
partner agencies in 27 southwestern Minnesota counties and improved access to
transportation information on the Network’s webpage,
www.MinnesotaHelp.info:
 Over 50 partner agencies added to
MinnesotaHelp Network™
 Transportation Link a topic page, added to the
Network’s website, streamlined search functions
and expanded available transportation information
3|Page
During 2015, partner agencies in the remaining 53 greater Minnesota counties
will be added to the Network. Additional improvements to the Transportation
Link page are also planned.
Project Discription
MinnesotaHelp Network™ is a network of call centers and a website,
www.MinnesotaHelp.info, which provides information and referrals on a variety of
topics. Call centers include the Veterans Linkage Line, the Senior LinkAge Line, and
the Disability Linkage Line. Minnesota Ride Link expands options for finding
transportation information by improving Network access for veteran’s
transportation organizations and transportation providers. Ride Link also
improved search capabilities and provider information on the www.MinnesotaHelp.info
website.
Agencies partnering with the Network use LinkLive to route and transfer calls,
chat, conference, and send secure email in real-time so that clients can get the
information they need to schedule a ride. In addition, www.MinnesotaHelp.info can
help partner agencies and the public find transportation information via the web.
Project Partner Agencies
County Veterans Service Offices
CVSOs assist veterans, their dependents, and their survivors in applying for
veteran benefits and accessing medical care provided by the State of Minnesota
and the United States Department of Veterans Affairs. Typical assistance may
include:




Filing claims for VA and state disability benefits
Enrolling in the VA Healthcare system
Providing referrals to a variety of other public and private programs
Providing scheduled and on-call transportation to VA Medical Centers
4|Page
In some counties, veterans travelling to VA Medical Center appointments may be
eligible for transportation assistance through their CVSO. Rides are coordinated
through a collaborative effort between CVSOs and the Disabled American
Veterans, which provides vehicles, usually vans, for these rides.
Some CVSOs have additional resources for rides other than to VA Medical
Centers; availability of resources, schedules, and costs per ride vary by county.
See Appendix A for information on these services.
General public transportation providers: public transit
Public transit providers transport members of the general public within a given
service area during a set time of day. Public transit is equally available to all
members of the public and cannot fulfill individual trip requests beyond the scope
of their published services. Public transit providers:
 Provide scheduled and on-call transportation for many trip purposes
(e.g. employment, medical, recreation, shopping, etc.)
 Publish bus schedule: hours, days of service, and fares
 Operate lift-equipped buses accessible to people using mobility devices
Depending on the service needs of a community, public transit is typically
provided in three ways: Demand Response, Deviated Route, and Fixed Route.
General public transportation providers: intercity bus
Intercity bus carriers serve the general public and transport passengers significant
distances between different cities or towns. Unlike a public transit bus service,
which has frequent stops throughout a city or town, an intercity bus service
generally has a single stop at one location in or near a city, and travels long
distances without stopping at all. Intercity carriers can accommodate passengers
with disabilities, though advance notice is usually required.
Transportation providers: agency clientele (S & D Transit Providers)
Some non-profit organizations offer rides to consumers who are registered clients
of that organization. The organization may choose to provide rides through a
5|Page
volunteer driver program or use its own vehicle to provide the ride. These rides
may or may not be accessible to persons with disabilities.

Partner Agency Roles
Role of transportation providers and veterans organizations
When assisting consumers in accessing rides that require collaboration between
Linkage Line staff or other agencies in the MinnesotaHelp Network™, partners
will:
 Ensure consumers receive outstanding, seamless customer service
 Ensure consumers receive high quality, timely assistance with their
transportation and ride request inquiries
 Utilize MinnesotaHelp Network™ communication tools to refer ride
requests to other partners or other referrals to Linkage Line staff when
necessary (i.e. needs are beyond what the provider agency’s ability to
assist)
 Ensure referrals between organizations effectively utilize the expertise of
each entity and maximize the use of each organization’s limited resources
 Assist Linkage Line staff in locating an appropriate ride for a client
6|Page

Distribute information about transportation options to consumers and
providers where relevant
 Promote collaboration among MinnesotaHelp Network™ agencies through
a shared understanding of each organization’s unique role and areas of
expertise, leading to increased referrals between organizations
 Maintain a current understanding of the Revation Desktop Communicator
tool’s features by watching recorded webinars and videos
 Update provider information on www.MinnesotaHelp.info® web site
utilizing the provider portal
Ongoing Expectations of Minnesota Help Network™ Partner™
Requirements for Users to Get Started
 Partner Agencies must enter into an MOU to receive access to LinkLive.
Access to the tools is granted to individuals, not agencies. Only individuals
who have signed the MOU or who are with an agency that has a signed
MOU are allowed to use the tools.
 All users are expected to watch training videos made available to
Minnesota Help Network™ partners on use of the Revation Communicator
tools. Please watch this video for initial training and how-to information.
Videos created to provide information on updates to the tools will be
provided as necessary.
 Individuals will automatically be signed in to the Revation Desktop
Communicator every time they start up their computer. Ensure that
throughout the day you update status to reflect your status (e.g. online,
busy, be right back, etc.). A user may be removed from the system should
he or she fail to make regular use of the tools.
IT or Troubleshooting Issues
For any IT issues with Revation contact your agency’s IT personnel to resolve
them. If the issues are something that can’t be resolved through agency IT
personnel, contact Area agency on Aging staff in your service area. For AAA
7|Page
service boundaries visit: http://mn4a.org/aaas/. If the issues need further
resolution, complete and submit an online request form:
http://publicforms.mnagingproviders.org/en/Forms/TechRequest.aspx
Removing or substituting users
Partner agencies must immediately notify Minnesota Help Network™ staff of any
change affecting their users’ Memoranda of Understanding, such as staff
turnover. If an existing user leaves an agency, that user must be removed from
the network. Agencies may replace that user with another individual from the
agency.
Complete and submit an online request form with any changes affecting a user’s
MOU:
