Lifeline Transportation Program
The Lifeline Transportation Program (LTP) is a $9.1 million grant program intended to address gaps and/or barriers in transportation for low-income communities, and to improve the range of travel choices available to the people of those communities. Projects should be developed through a collaborative and open planning process, and must be drawn from available Community-Based Transportation Plans, countywide or regional Welfare to Work Plans, or otherwise documented assessment of needs within communities of concern. The initial funding cycle programmed approximately $2.8 million in projects and will end in 2007-08. Beginning in 2008-09 the new estimated $9.1 million in Lifeline funding three year cycle will begin.
The Authority accepted formal delegation of the LTP from MTC in September 2005, through approval of Resolution 05-12-G. At its September 17, 2008 meeting, the Authority adopted an LTP work program, which established the LTP Application review Committee and project selection evaluation criteria.
