Title
ADOPT the locally developed 2025-2028 Coordinated Public Transit-Human Services Transportation Plan ("Coordinated Plan" or "Plan") for Los Angeles County (Attachment A), as required under the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Section 5310 Enhanced Mobility of Seniors and Individuals with Disabilities Program.

Metro serves as the designated recipient of FTA Section 5310 funds for the urbanized areas of Los Angeles County and is responsible for their planning, programming, and oversight. Approximately $10.5 million is received annually and awarded to eligible subrecipients every two to three years through a combination of formula-based allocations and competitive solicitation processes.

In accordance with federal requirements, all projects funded through the Section 5310 Program must be included in a locally developed, board adopted, Coordinated Plan. To maintain compliance and continue administering Section 5310 funds in Los Angeles County, the Plan must be updated every four years to align with the planning cycles of metropolitan transportation plans.

The updated 2025-2028 Coordinated Plan under consideration, allows Metro to fulfill its role as the designated recipient of Section 5310 funds in Los Angeles County and supports the continued administration, programming, and oversight of Section 5310 funded projects throughout the region. Upon adoption, all Section 5310 funded projects are required to align with the goals and priorities established in the Plan over the next four years.
