Title
Update of the Coordinated Public Transit-Human Services Transportation Plan (CTP) (5 mins)
Meg Scully, LPA Staff
Robert Jahn, LPA Intern
Narrative
DCHC MPO is the Designated Recipient for federal funding through the Section 5310 - Enhanced Mobility of Seniors and Individuals with Disabilities Program, and receives under $250,000 per year to be distributed among eligible sub-recipients. Federal transit law requires that projects funded through this program be derived from a locally developed, coordinated public transit-human services transportation plan (CTP) that must be updated every five years. The current CTP for the DCHC MPO region was approved by the Board in January, 2014, and LPA staff is now in the process of preparing an updated plan. The development of a CTP must involve seniors, individuals with disabilities, representatives of transportation and human services providers, and other members of the public. The CTP elements include: an assessment of available services; an assessment of transportation needs; strategies or projects to address the gaps in service; and priorities for implementation based on resources available. To identify needs and prioritize projects, two workshops will be held in the MPO region - September 18, 2018, at the Orange County Seymour Center and on September 20, 2018, at Durham County Cooperative Extension. The workshops will be followed by development of the final plan and approval by the Board.
