Successful drug court participants provide cost savings to both the health care and legal system. As is the case with other emerging NEMT opportunities, fares alone will not come anywhere near paying for these trips, especially when considering the specialized training and on-demand nature of random testing protocols.

Additionally, the demand that drug court-style transportation services create cannot be met, exclusively, by current transportation services in most areas.
