Agreement with the State of California <br />Department of Transportation <br />July 1, 2014 <br />Page 2 <br />The Senior -On- The -Go Program is a much needed service to senior citizens who do not have <br />access to personal vehicles or are no longer able to drive. The program provides seniors with <br />transportation to and from City senior centers, and to a variety of social activities, educational <br />classes and seminars. The buses are also used to help seniors with their weekly shopping trips to <br />local markets, mini - excursions, and walking club trips to various locations. Through this program, <br />seniors are able to continue leading an independent, active and healthy lifestyle. <br />The two buses currently used by the program are 2006 - model, gasoline - powered vehicles that <br />were surplused by the Orange County Transportation Authority and then donated to City in 2012. <br />The grant- funded replacement paratransit buses are Alternative Fuel Vehicles powered by <br />Compressed Natural Gas (CNG). These new CNG buses will have lower operating and <br />maintenance costs and reduce the City's greenhouse gas emissions and carbon footprint. <br />Staff recommends City Council approval of an appropriation adjustment to recognize the grant <br />award and authorize City's matching funds as required by the grant. <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />The appropriation adjustment will recognize FTA 5310 Elderly & Disabled Specialized Transit <br />Grant revenue in the amount of $161,125 in Recreation Grants Fund revenue account (no. <br />16913002 52001) and appropriating the same amount to expenditure account (no. 16913101 <br />66400).
