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 $492,598 (in federal funds) which was the total funding apportioned to the Durham UZA for FFY2017 and FFY2018. Applications were reviewed by a subcommittee, and the recommended Program of Projects (PoP) is attached. Once
the PoP is approved by the Board, LPA staff will begin the grant application process.
