Title
Measure M2 Senior Mobility Program Temporary Guideline Requirement Suspension
Overview
The Measure M2 Senior Mobility Program provides funding to eligible local jurisdictions interested in providing transit services that best meet the needs of seniors living within their community. Due to the impacts of the novel coronavirus, a primary service provider for several jurisdictions has terminated its operations with limited notice. The affected agencies need temporary relief from the third-party contracting requirements to allow for continuity of service. A recommended temporary suspension to the program guidelines is presented for Board of Directors’ consideration.
Recommendation(s)
Approve a temporary suspension effective June 1, 2020 to May 31, 2021 of the Senior Mobility Program guideline requirement related to procuring third-party contracted transportation service using a competitive bidding process. OCTA expects that best efforts are applied to ensure that contracts entered into are the most cost effective available.
