Franklin County Coordinated Plan RFP
Funding is now available to interested organizations in Franklin County to provide transportation services under two different programs:

1. The New Freedom program provides funds to help overcome existing barriers facing Americans with disabilities who seek integration into the work force. Funds may be used to expand transportation mobility options available to persons with disabilities that exceed requirements under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

2. The Job Access & Reverse Commute (JARC) program provides funds for transportation to jobs and employment related activities for public assistance recipients and eligible low-income individuals. Additionally, funding can be used for programs that support commuting to suburban workplaces from urban, rural, or other suburban areas.

Funds are provided through the Federal Transit Administration. The Central Ohio Transit Authority (COTA) is the agency responsible for administration of these federal funds in Franklin County and will provide technical support to grantees.

A pre-proposal conference was held on Monday, April 7, 2008 from 2-4 p.m. at COTA’s main office at 1600 McKinley Ave., Columbus, Ohio 43222.
