The grant funds are available for the specific <br />purpose of accomplishing the duties and responsibilities of the <br />Designated Official Planning Agency (DOPA) as identified in the <br />Transportation Disadvantaged law, Chapter 427, F.S. and Rule 41-2 <br />FAC. The DOPA is required to apply for the Planning Grant (copy <br />attached). <br />As provided for by the state, a Designated Official Planning Agency <br />may transfer any or all of its unobligated planning grant funds to <br />the county's non -sponsored trip/equipment grant allocation. Non - <br />sponsored trip/equipment grant funds are monies available to the <br />county's Community Transportation Coordinator (CTC) to cover <br />capital and operating costs associated with the provision of <br />transportation disadvantaged service. Essentially, this transfer <br />provision allows unneeded planning funds to be transferred to the <br />Community Transportation Coordinator (CTC) to be used for providing <br />trips. <br />MAY 69 1997 23 6O!)
