Lifeline Transportation Program
The Lifeline Transportation Program (LTP) is a grant program intended to address gaps and/or barriers in transportation for low-income communities, and to improve the range of travel choices available to the people of those communities. Projects should be developed through a collaborative and open planning process, and must be drawn from available Community-Based Transportation Plans, countywide or regional Welfare to Work Plans, or otherwise documented assessment of needs within communities of concern. The second funding cycle programmed approximately $6 million in projects and ended in 2010-11. The third cycle of funding is currently underway and will bring about $5.5 million to Contra Costa County. The third cycle will cover the three year period from FY 2010-11 through FY 2012-13.
In January 2012 the Authority approved the release of the Third Cycle Call for Projects. Project applications will be due to the Authority on March 2, 2012 at 1:00 p.m..
