Title

Enhanced Mobility for Seniors and Disabled Grant Program Call for Projects

 

Overview

The new Orange County Enhanced Mobility for Seniors and Disabled Grant Program offers grant opportunities for local public agencies and non-profit organizations to help meet the special transportation needs of seniors and individuals with disabilities. This new local grant program replaces the Federal Transit Administration’s Section 5310 Program by providing local funding support, in lieu of federal funding, to relieve applicants of stringent federal requirements and reduce the risk of non-compliance for both the Orange County Transportation Authority and its grantees. Authorization to release a countywide call for projects is requested.

Recommendation(s)

Direct staff to issue a call for projects for the Orange County Enhanced Mobility for Seniors and Disabled Grant Program.
