Doug Plachcinski, AICP, CFM, DCHCMPO Executive Director
Narrative
The Enhanced Mobility of Seniors and Individuals with Disabilities program (Section 5310) provides funds to improve mobility for seniors and individuals with disabilities by removing barriers to transportation service and expanding transportation mobility options. The DCHC MPO is the Designated Recipient of the funds for the Durham UZA and distributes the funds to eligible sub-recipients through a competitive selection process every other year. A Call for Projects was conducted for a total of $679,325 in federal funds, which represents funds apportioned to the Durham UZA for FFY2021 and FFY2022. Applications were reviewed by staff from the LPA and from all MPO jurisdictions, and the recommended Program of Projects (PoP) is attached. The Technical Committee voted to recommend that the Board approve the PoP at its regular meeting on September 28, 2022. Once the PoP is approved by the Board, LPA staff will begin the grant application process.
