OCTC Coordinated Public Transit Human Services Transportation Plan Update, August 2017 OCTC Coordinated Public Transit Human Services Transportation Plan Update, August 2017 Introduction. The initial Coordinated Public Transit Human Services Transportation Plan was adopted by the Orange County Transportation Council in 2008. It was created in cooperation with the county’s human service agencies to meet a then new planning requirement for three types of Federal Transit Administration (FTA) funding. The plan served as the foundation for further public transit / human service transportation coordination and planning which even beyond those three FTA funding sources. This update of the 2008 plan is being prepared in order to reflect the changes instituted by the most recent federal transportation legislation – the Mobility and Progress in the 21st Century Act of 2012 (also known as MAP-21). MAP-21 continues to require that public transportation providers coordinate with human service agencies, but the way that these programs are funded has changed. Some of the requirements for the planning process have also changed, and more broadly, MAP-21 seeks to eliminate the funding restrictions of specialized programs and create more flexibility for transit providers, municipalities and programs. The single FTA funding program for which this plan is a pre-requisite is the Section 5310 program, which provides assistance for transportation aiding the elderly and individuals with disabilities. MAP-21 continues the requirement that any new projects selected for Section 5310 funding must be “derived from a locally developed public transit human service coordinated transportation plan”. The plan process must include “representatives of public, private, and non-profit transportation and human services providers and participation by members of the public.” The plan also serves as the foundation for future public transit / human service transportation coordination and planning beyond just the Section 5310 program funding considerations. The overall purpose of this coordinated transportation planning is to: improve transit accessibility for residents, but specifically for the disabled, seniors, underemployed, and low- income workers; to best meet the needs of transportation providers, human service agencies, and area employers, without duplicating efforts; and to provide the most economical and efficient transportation services to the greatest number of residents possible in Orange County. FTA Section 5310 Program – Enhanced Mobility of Seniors and Individuals with Disabilities Public Transportation The New York State Department of Transportation has initiated an application cycle for three federal fiscal years of FTA Section 5310 funding. The development of this new program under the MAP-21 legislation was undertaken by the State in coordination with all the MPOs across the state. OCTC, together with almost all the other MPOs, passed a resolution asking the state to continue its administration of the Section 5310 as it did prior to MAP-21. The 5310 program provides funding to improve accessibility and mobility for seniors and persons with disabilities. In New York State, the NYS Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) is the agency designated by the Governor to administer this federal funding program with oversight from the Federal Transit Administration (FTA). The Section 5310 program, as amended by MAP-21, incorporates significant changes in the apportionment of funds and in the eligible activities. Funds are no longer distributed directly to the State and administered exclusively by the Department. Pursuant to MAP-21, funding is now sub-allocated to large urbanized areas, small urbanized areas, and to the State for rural areas. OCTC CPTHSTP Update, August 2017 Page 1 OCTC Coordinated Public Transit Human Services Transportation Plan Update, August 2017 The following table shows the amounts of funding presently being made available in this application round. FTA Section 5310 Funding Available for Competition June 2015, Orange County applicants Total 55% for Available FFY 2013 FFY 2014 FFY 2015 Traditional Middletown Small Urban Area (SUZA)$ 112,953 $ 109,149 $ 108,806 $ 330,908 $ 181,999 Poughkeepsie-Newburgh Large Urban Area (UZA)$ 315,499 $ 350,572 $ 349,471 $1,015,542 $ 558,548 Notes: * Orange, Dutchess and Ulster Counties must coordinate on the Poughkeepsie-Newburgh Large Urban funding They do this through the three county transportation councils (OCTC, PDCTC, UCTC). * Congress has not fully appropriated all of the FFY 2015 funding * All project types allowed for both TMA and SUZA funds * The State and all three transportation councils will review applications for large urban funding * Only the State and OCTC reviewers will review applications for SUZA funds Project Types: This program no longer provides funds only for vehicles, under MAP 21 the program now provides grant funds for capital and operating expenses to recipients for: Public transportation projects planned, designed, and carried out to meet the special needs of seniors and individuals with disabilities when public transportation is insufficient, inappropriate, or unavailable; Public transportation projects that exceed the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 (42 U.S.C. 12101 et seq.); Public transportation projects that improve access to fixed-route service and decrease reliance on complementary paratransit; and Alternatives to public transportation projects that assist seniors and individuals with disabilities with transportation. This grant opportunity requires a 20% local share match for capital and mobility management projects, and a 50% matching share for operating projects. Vehicle purchases are completed through the use of the NYS Office of General Service (OGS) Adult bus Contract and require only the 20% local match at time of contract signing. Other projects are reimbursement based and require reporting forms and expense reports. These include, but are not limited to: Buses Vans and other paratransit vehicles Acquisition of transportation services under a contract, lease or other arrangement Mobility management Travel training Curb cuts Sidewalks Pedestrian signals or other accessible features Costs that are directly tied to transit operations OCTC CPTHSTP Update, August 2017 Page 2 OCTC Coordinated Public Transit Human Services Transportation Plan Update, August 2017 Eligible Providers: Traditional projects for Enhanced Mobility of Seniors and Individuals with Disabilities grants are awarded to nonprofit organizations and/or local public entities who can certify that no nonprofits can perform the project or they are identified as the coordinating agency for these transportation services. In order to be eligible to apply for non-traditional New Freedom-like projects (maximum of 45% of projects statewide) for federal funding under the FTA Section Enhanced 5310 program solicitation in the State of New York, the entity applying must be one of the following: A private not-for-profit organization incorporated within NYS A State or local Governmental Authority Operators of public transportation services, including private operators of public transportation services, who receive the 5310 grant indirectly through a recipient. Private taxi companies that provide shared-ride taxi service to the public or to special categories of users (such as seniors or individuals with disabilities) on a regular basis are also eligible recipients. A Indian Tribal Nation Program Implementation: A minimum of 55% of the available funding awards will go to traditional Section 5310 capital projects. Traditional Section 5310 projects are those public transportation capital projects planned, designed, and carried out (by eligible subrecipients) to meet the special needs of seniors and individuals with disabilities when public transportation is insufficient, inappropriate, or unavailable. The remaining funds may support public transportation projects that exceed the requirements of the ADA, improve access to fixed-route service, decrease reliance by individuals with disabilities on complementary paratransit or provide alternatives to public transportation that assist seniors and individuals with disabilities. Due to the substantial change in allocations, NYSDOT has opted to fund up to 100% of awards toward vehicle capital projects for rural areas, as deemed best suited to meet the mobility needs of seniors and individuals with disabilities where public transit services are unavailable, insufficient or inappropriate. Although vehicle requests are the priority for traditional funding out of the Section 5310 program, MAP-21 allows consideration for other eligible capital projects. Capital projects may include communications equipment; dispatch/scheduling software and hardware; and other related equipment to support an agency’s needs. Coordinated Public Transit / Human Services Transportation Planning (CPTHSTP). The principles behind the coordinated planning requirement are not new and neither are discussions and coordination between human service agencies, the county’s transit staff and local transit/transportation providers. This coordination has occurred in the context of planning for the County’s long-operating ADA Paratransit services as well as, among other things, regular participation with a non-profit association of human service agencies, the Orange and Sullivan Counties Employment Action Network (OSCEAN). Previously, the County Planning Department’s transit staff coordinated with the County Employment and Training Administration OCTC

Transit coverage is highest in Western metro areas such as “ As states and Honolulu and Los Angeles, and lowest in Southern metro areas such as Chattanooga and Greenville. Regardless of region, residents of cities and lower-income neighborhoods have regions strive to better access to transit than residents of suburbs and middle/higher-income neighborhoods. n In neighborhoods covered by transit, morning rush hour service occurs about once every put Americans 10 minutes for the typical metropolitan commuter.

The focus the study was to identify service performance indicators and criteria used to evaluate bus service on a route by route basis. Three types of evaluation indicators (service design measures, operating performance measures, and economic or productivity mea- sures) were identified, and a range of standards which have been developed for each indicator are reported. The results are presented separately for transit properties owning less than and greater than 400 buses.
