The Tuolumne County Transit Agency (TCTA) is soliciting proposals from consulting firms with the qualifications and experience necessary to update its Short-Range Transit Plan (SRTP) and the Coordinated Public Transit – Human Services Transportation Plan. These plans aim to guide the development of transit services, improving mobility for area residents and visitors.
The Coordinated Public Transit – Human Services Transportation Plan is a federally mandated document per the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Circular 9070.1G, originating in Public Law 109-059 (SAFETEA-LU) and amended in Public Law 112-141 (MAP-21). It requires projects selected for funding under several grant programs, including FTA Section 5310, to be:
“…included in a locally developed, coordinated public transit-human services transportation plan”… and these plans must be “…developed and approved through a process that included participation by seniors, individuals with disabilities, representatives of public, private, and non-profit transportation and human service providers, and other members of the public.”
