Rural Health Transformation program – funding is raising the bar for access, accountability, and measurable outcomes.
For states and health plans, transportation has emerged as one of the fastest ways to expand access to care—and one of the hardest to govern without modern infrastructure. Legacy models weren’t built for the real-time visibility, program integrity, and audit readiness RHTP requires.
In this overview, we outline how transportation can function as a system of record under RHTP and how Kinetik’s closed-loop, interoperable infrastructure helps states deploy funding with confidence. From improving access and continuity of care to strengthening oversight, fraud prevention, and reporting, our whitepaper explores how modern transportation infrastructure can turn RHTP investments into verifiable impact.
Take a look to see how Kinetik supports RHTP initiatives from planning through execution.

NEMT is critical to healthcare access—but the way it’s managed today is holding programs back.
Fragmented legacy models, limited real-time visibility, and outdated technology create higher costs, missed appointments, and preventable risk for health plans and state agencies.
In our latest white paper, we explore why more organizations are rethinking traditional models—and what it takes to bring NEMT in-house responsibly. The paper examines the operational, financial, and member-experience impacts of modernizing transportation infrastructure—and how closed-loop, interoperable systems can improve access, accountability, and outcomes at scale.
Read the full white paper to see what’s possible when NEMT is treated as core infrastructure, not an afterthought.

In summary
Q4 reinforced a clear theme across policy, product, and practice: access to care depends on infrastructure that’s transparent, verifiable, and built for scale. As RHTP funding raises expectations and NEMT programs evolve beyond legacy models, Kinetik continues to support states and health plans with connected systems that improve access, strengthen oversight, and deliver measurable outcomes. From thought leadership and product innovation to real-world program execution, we remain focused on one goal—turning transportation into a trusted foundation of healthcare delivery.
