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) which must be updated every five years. The current CTP for the DCHC MPO region was approved by the Board in January, 2014. LPA staff prepared the attached updated plan through a process that involved 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. The Board released the draft report for public comment on May 8, 2019.
