 the commissioner to manage transportation  services  shall  have  proven
 experience  in  coordinating transportation services in a geographic and
 demographic area similar to the area in New York state within which  the
 contractor  would  manage  the provision of services under this section.
 Such a contract or contracts may  include  responsibility  for:  review,
 approval  and  processing  of  transportation  orders; management of the
 appropriate level of transportation based on documented patient  medical
 need; and development of new technologies leading to efficient transpor-
 tation  services. If the commissioner elects to assume such responsibil-
