Regional Coordination   at work

              November 30, 2006

The Executive Board concurred with PSRC receiving designated recipient status for Federal Transit Administration funds via the Jobs Access Reverse Commute (JARC) and New Freedom funds.

The designation will allow PSRC to expedite receipt and distribution of these funds to help implement the region's Coordinated Transit and Human Services Transportation Plan. It also enables the agency to administer the competitive project selection process for these funds. The JARC program provides funding for transportation services for low-income individuals that are not able to live near their workplace, whereas the New Freedom program provides funding for expanding mobility options for people with disabilities.

In other business, the Executive Board:

  • Welcomed the Snoqualmie Tribe as associate members of PSRC.
  • Finalized the Executive Director's performance evaluation.
  • Adopted a routine amendment to the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) moving 13 Destination 2030 projects forward.

    Season's Greetings from the Executive Board and the staff at PSRC.
