BETWEEN ORANGE COUNTY TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY
AND CITY OF TUSTIN FOR SENIOR MOBILITY PROGRAM
The Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) has requested that the City of

Agreement No. C-1-2620, thereby extending the City's enrollment in the Senior Mobility
Program through June 30, 2021.
FISCAL IMPACT
The Measure M2 Project U — SMP provides funding to support local, community-based
transportation service for seniors. One percent (1 %) of M2 net revenue is used to fund
SMP with local jurisdictions providing a twenty percent (20%) match. Currently, the City
receives approximately $56,000 per year in SMP funding.
CORRELATION TO THE STRATEGIC PLAN:
This grant opportunity advances Strategy 6b of Goal A in the City of Tustin Strategic Plan
regarding Economic and Neighborhood Development in' that it provides resources for
future senior services to meet changing demographics and trends.
BACKGROUND
For the past sixteen years, the Tustin Area Senior Center Transportation Program has
been offering a no fee transportation program to serve the needs of its senior residents.
This program provides door-to-door transportation for medical appointments, grocery
shopping, and participation in Senior Center activities. The Tustin Area Senior Center
Transportation Program has been participating in the SMP since July 1, 2011. On May
3, 2016, at OCTA's request, the City Council formally adopted a new Agency Service
Plan to replace the previously approved Scope of Work. This Agency Service Plan has
been accepted by the OCTA Board of Directors and is now incorporated into
Amendment No. 1. The Amendment also extends the expiration date of the Agreement
for five (5) years, from June 30, 2016 to June 30, 2021.
Respectfully submitted,

seniors age 60 and over and to persons with disabilities who are residents of the

gap and meet the transportation service needs of these people who are unable to

Senior Mobility Program
Project U Funding and Policy Guidelines
March 2016
1.0 Overview
The Measure M2 (M2) Project U — Senior Mobility Program (SMP) provides funding
to support local, community-based transportation service for seniors. Originally
established in 2001 using limited state funding for bus operations, M2 Project U
SMP funding was established to continue and expand the existing program.
A formula funding allocation was established for all Orange County local
jurisdictions based upon their senior population. One percent of M2 net revenue
is used to fund the program and local jurisdictions must provide a minimum 20
percent local match of the total annual program expenditures.
The Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) Board of Directors approved
these guidelines on March 28, 2016. The purpose is to provide structure and
definitions for all eligible M2 jurisdictions receiving SMP funding. OCTA shall
enforce the provisions spelled out in these guidelines.
2.0 Objectives
■ To provide for local, community-based senior transportation services.
■ To allow local jurisdictions to develop and implement senior transportation
services to serve their community.
■ To provide transit options for seniors which complement rather than duplicate
OCTA fixed route and ACCESS paratransit service.
3.0 Eligibility Requirements
Participation in the SMP is contingent upon maintaining M2 eligibility. Local
jurisdictions must be eligible to receive M2 funding, established on an annual basis
as specified in the M2 Ordinance Requirements for Eligible Jurisdictions, to receive
the formula allocation for this program.' Adherence to strict funding guidelines is
required.
Local jurisdictions are required to submit a Service Plan as described in Section
7.0 and must enter into a cooperative funding agreement with OCTA that defines
the conditions of use of SMP funds prior to receiving their SMP funding allocation.

4.0 Funding Allocation Method & Distribution
Funding for the program is identified as one percent of M2 net sales tax revenue
and will be allocated to eligible local jurisdictions based upon the participating
jurisdiction's percentage of the senior population of the county. Senior population
is determined by using the most current official decennial Census information
provided by the U.S. Census Bureau.
Funding allocations are based on actual sales tax receipts. Funding will be
distributed on a bi-monthly basis. SMP funds must be expended within three years
of receipt.
OCTA may grant a two-year extension beyond the three-year expenditure
limitation; however, an extension may not exceed five years from the date of the
initial funding allocation. Jurisdictions requesting an extension beyond the
three-year limitation must submit a justification letter for review and approval by
OCTA at least 90 days prior to the end of the third fiscal year.
In the event the time limits for use of SMP funds are not satisfied, any retained
SMP funds that were allocated to an eligible jurisdiction, including interest, shall
be returned to OCTA.
5.0 Match Requirements
Participating jurisdictions must provide a minimum 20 percent local match of the
total annual program expenditures. Match funding may be made up of cash
subsidies, fare revenues, donations, or in-kind contributions such as salaries and
benefits for the jurisdiction's employees who perform work on the program.
Jurisdictions may also be required to submit supporting documentation to
substantiate local match expenditures. Jurisdictions are not required to contribute
the minimum match requirement on a monthly basis; however, the minimum 20
percent match requirement must be met by the end of each fiscal year, defined as
June 30.
Jurisdictions not satisfying the annual 20 percent match shall be subject to
withholding of funds from future bi-monthly allocations equal to the difference
between the amount of Measure M funds actually spent and the amount of
Measure M funds actually matched.
