Why Action is Necessary
The FCTD requires Board approval prior to any award of grant funds. Pursuant to Chapter 427, Florida Statutes, Broward County, as the designated Community Transportation Coordinator (CTC) for the Broward County service area, is required to provide "non-sponsored" transportation disadvantaged services to eligible individuals. "Transportation disadvantaged" is defined as those persons who because of physical or mental disability, income status, or age are unable to transport themselves or to purchase transportation.
What Action Accomplishes
Secures continued state funding for transportation disadvantaged trips, pursuant to Chapter 427, Florida Statutes, provided by the County's paratransit service.
