ACTIVITY OVERVIEW

In accordance with the provisions of the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act: A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU), recipients under the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Sections 5310, 5316, and 5317 programs must comply with all federal coordinated planning requirements to be eligible for funds. The reauthorization stipulates that projects selected for funding under these specified programs must be derived from a locally coordinated, public transit-human services transportation plan (Coordinated Plan).

The California Department of Transportation, Division of Mass Transportation (DMT) is the designated recipient administering the FTA Section 5310 program and the small urban and rural portions of FTA Sections 5316 and 5317 programs. DMT is responsible for certifying that each project selected was derived from a locally developed, coordinated public transit-human services transportation plan and that coordinated plans are developed through a process that includes representatives of public, private, and non-profit transportation and human services providers and participation by the public.
