The Statewide Locally Coordinated Plan, prepared under the guidance of the N.C. Department of Transportation’s Integrated Mobility Division, identifies opportunities to expand mobility options for seniors and individuals with disabilities, particularly in rural and small urban areas.
The
Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, which authorizes up to $108 billion to support federal public transportation programs, continues to require a comprehensive Statewide Locally Coordinated Plan to identify and select projects eligible for Section 5310 (Enhanced Mobility of Seniors & Individuals with Disabilities) funding. The Plan also meets planning requirements for the state-funded Rural Operating Assistance Program.
