SAN LUIS OBISPO REGION COORDINATED HUMAN SERVICES-PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN 7.3 MEETING SAFETEA-LU FUNDING REQUIREMENTS To meet SAFETEA-LU requirements around these funds, it will be necessary to: ‣ Conduct an area-wide competitive selection process; ‣ Certify a fair and equitable distribution of the funds; and ‣ Certify that each project selected was derived from a locally developed coordinated public transit and human service transportation plan The impetus for public transit to coordinate with human and social service agencies is fueled by Federal and State funding initiatives. As coordination plans and projects are developed, it is important that a visionary approach to selecting and funding coordination projects be embraced. Applications should be encouraged from organizations willing and able to provide trips that cannot be effectively served by public transit. The local involvement process undertaken by SLOCOG in development of the coordinated action plan, and the subsequent recommendations constructed for the San Luis Obispo region are consistent with the current FTA guidance. The region has developed a comprehensive unified coordination plan, to promote community mobility for seniors, individuals with disabilities and those of low-income in accordance with FTA Sections 5310, 5316 and 5317. The survey (Chapter 3) and public outreach process (Chapter 4) also enabled SLOCOG to reestablish or to initiate new relationships with the larger human service agencies and organizations. Federal guidance suggests that coordination efforts should promote active involvement of funding agencies/organizations in the on-going coordination dialogue. Among the dozens of organizations participating in various ways, through interview, public workshop or survey, some of the larger stakeholder agencies, other than public transit, participating included: ‣ County Department of Social Services, CalWORKs, Medi-Cal, Food Stamps/Food Assistance Program ‣ Economic Opportunity Commission, Homeless Services and Headstart Programs ‣ Independent Living Resource Center (SLO) ‣ Low Vision Council ‣ Social Security Administration ‣ Area Agency on Aging Council – COA Senior Home Care ‣ Paso Robles Public Schools ‣ National Multiple Sclerosis Society ‣ San Luis Coastal Unified School District ‣ Caltrans District Office Coordination “friendly” policies must be developed by all planning partners, including the public transit agencies, the larger public and social service systems of the region and SLOCOG itself, working together to establish a “culture of coordination” throughout the county. 111 OCTOBER 2007
SAN LUIS OBISPO REGION COORDINATED HUMAN SERVICES-PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION PLAN CHAPTER 8: RECOMMENDATIONS 8.1 TRANSLATING NEEDS INTO PROJECTS The many individualized needs that emerged through discussions with agency and organization staff representatives and with consumers, begin to suggest project responses. Projects can be discussed in relation to the types of consumers whose needs are to be met as with senior transportation, or the types of trips needed, as with non-emergency medical transportation, or possibly in relation to the types of improvements to transportation that are necessary to serve members of the target populations. Table 8-1 illustrates the connection between different types of consumers’ needs and potential project responses applicable to those needs. The table shows the following: Various target groups or sub groups, whose transportation needs are the main focus of this plan; The breadth of special needs and concerns typically expressed by seniors, persons with disabilities and low income persons and their agency/organization representatives (per the earlier stakeholders’ outreach findings in Chapters 4 and 6); The transit and/or specialized transportation “modes” and options currently used, (operated by either public transit or by human and social service agencies); and Several potential project-oriented solutions identified as a result of the inventory and county-wide stakeholder outreach process, designed to meet specific needs. Consideration of these factors guided the development of the actions plan goals, objectives and strategies detailed later in Section 8.4. 112 OCTOBER 2007
