Title
Enhanced Mobility for Seniors and Disabled Grant Program Recommendations
Overview
The 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. Applications have been received and evaluated based on prescribed criteria, and a list of recommended projects is presented for consideration.
Recommendation(s)
Approve the candidate project list recommended by the regional evaluation committee, and authorize the Chief Executive Officer to negotiate and execute agreements with the awarded applicants.
