BackgroundThe LTP was established by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) to improve mobility for low-income communities by funding capital and operating projects that:
On December 21, 2011, MTC adopted LTP guidelines and fund estimate for Cycle 3. San Francisco's share of the funds for the three-year cycle totals $17.05 This call for projects is for the $1.2 Eligible Project SponsorsTransit operators, state or local public agencies, and non-profits are eligible to receive JARC funds. Non-FTA recipients (e.g. non-profits and some public agencies) must enter into funding agreements with MTC or direct FTA recipients (e.g. transit operators) prior to the grant award. Private for-profit entities are not eligible. Eligible Project TypesJARC funds can support both capital and operating projects that improve access to employment and related activities for low income populations, as derived from MTC's Coordinated Public Transit-Human Services Transportation Plan. Inter-county projects can also be funded. See Attachments A and B for additional detail on project eligibility, requirements, and examples of eligible projects. See Attachment C for lists of projects funded in the Cycle 1 and 2 LTP cycles. Community-Based and Low-Income Transportation PlansJARC projects must be derived from the regionally adopted Coordinated Public Transit-Human Services Transportation Plan. In addition, projects should directly address transportation gaps and/or barriers identified through San Francisco CBTP processes or other substantive local planning efforts involving focused outreach to low income populations. We will also consider projects included in countywide or regional welfare-to-work transportation plans or another documented assessment of needs within the designated Communities of Concern (see Attachment D for definitions), which are areas that MTC has specifically, but not exclusively, targeted for the LTP funds. Findings emerging from aforementioned planning efforts may also be applied to other low-income areas, or otherwise be directed to serve low-income constituencies within the county.
