CTN also brokers and coordinates with other providers to enhance efficiencies and purchasing power.

CTN offers several transportation services. The largest is an affordable and dependable Medical Transportation program primarily for seniors and persons with disabilities operating Monday-Saturday including evenings. Another service offers transportation support to other human service agencies for non-medical program support to clients, which makes better use of transportation resources.
