Lifeline Transportation Program
The Lifeline Transportation Program (LTP) is a $2.279 million 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 initial funding cycle will end in 2007-08. Beginning in 2008-09 an estimated $17 million in Lifeline funding will come to Contra Costa County for eligible projects through 2018.
The Authority accepted formal delegation of the LTP from MTC in September 2005, through approval of Resolution 05-12-G. At its January 18, 2006 meeting, the Authority adopted an LTP work program, which established the LTP Task Force, a plan for public outreach, and project selection evaluation criteria.
