The Coordinated Public Transit - Human Services Transportation Plan (Coordinated Plan) includes the components of the Short Range Transit Plan (SRTP) and meets the federal requirement to develop a plan which incorporates the human service/social service network of transportation services.

Background
In its capacity as the SRTP, the Coordinated Plan provides a framework for transit system development over the next five years and reflects the goals and direction for service development as described in the Regional Transportation Plan. The Appendix to the Coordinated Plan includes public outreach documentation, service inventory, and supporting data, including annual operating data and maps used to perform various analyses.

Grant Program Monitoring and Reporting
SANDAG has developed a standardized monitoring and reporting program applicable to Job Access and Reverse Commute (JARC), New Freedom, and Senior Mini-Grant programs. The purpose of the reporting is to collect information on individual projects and grant programs as a whole for reporting to the Federal Transit Administration, the TransNet Independent Taxpayers Oversight Committee (ITOC), the Social Services Transportation Advisory Council (SSTAC), and for inclusion in the Coordinated Plan. To be reimbursed for project expenses, the grant recipients must submit an invoice, documentation of all expenses incurred during the reporting period, and a Grant Progress Report. Additionally, each grant recipient must provide a Quarterly Project Report and project performance data.
Program Management Plan
The Program Management Plan guides the management of the JARC, New Freedom, and TransNet Senior Mini-Grant programs. The goals and objectives of the Program Management Plan facilitate fair, equitable distribution of available funds with effective administration of the grant programs, and ensure that all SANDAG policies, federal and local statutes and regulations are fulfilled.
