Title
Coordinated Public Transit-Human Services Transportation Plan Update (15 minutes)
Kelly Richard, MPO Staff
Narrative
The City of Durham is the designated recipient for federal funding through the Section 5310 Enhanced Mobility of Seniors and Individuals with Disabilities Program. Federal transit law requires that projects funded through this program be derived from a locally developed, Coordinated Public Transit-Human Services Transportation Plan which must be updated every five years. The DCHC MPO oversees the update of this plan and works with the City to administer the funds to eligible sub-recipients through a Program Management Plan, which was adopted in June 2022. A Call for Projects is administered biennially, with the last call in 2022 consisting of $679,325 in funds and the next call to occur later this year.
The current Coordinated Public Transit-Human Services Transportation Plan was adopted in June 2019 and needs to be updated this year. The update of this plan requires the involvement of seniors, individuals with disabilities, representatives of transportation and human services providers, and other members of the public.
The approval schedule for the 2024 plan update is as follows:
February: Provide plan update schedule, workshop details, and stakeholder lists.
March/April: Hold stakeholder workshops.
May: Release plan for public release.
