Abstract:

The Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21) allows metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs) or eligible large, urbanized area (UZA) agencies to assume administrative responsibility for Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Section 5310, the Enhanced Mobility of Seniors and Individuals with Disabilities grant program. Interviews were conducted with the state's 5310 stakeholders and California Department of Transportation (Caltrans) staff. An in-depth quantitative analysis of the existing administrative activities of the 5310 program was performed. Findings include: “full transition” to MPO Program administration could significantly reduce the benefits of the 5310 program for the entire state and leave smaller MPO's with insufficient funds to run programs; if Caltrans retains sole administrative responsibility, there is concern that local projects may not be a priority; stakeholders prefer a hybrid approach where they would partner with Caltrans, retain long-term flexibility, and build administrative capacities of all partners.
