Background Information:
The annual unmet needs process and public hearing are requirements of the Transportation Development Act (TDA). This process consists of the following steps:
1. The Transit Agency Board holds a public hearing to receive comments.
2. The Transit Agency Board of Directors refer the public comments to the Social Services Transportation Advisory Council (SSTAC) for review.
3. Identify "unmet transit need" and "reasonable to meet" in order to develop a recommendation for SSTAC who compares the comments to the attached adopted definition for the Commission.
4. The Transit Agency Board of Directors consider the recommendation and then adopt a finding by resolution.
5. Transit needs that are "determined to be reasonable to meet" are funded prior to allocating Local Transportation Funds (LTF) to local streets and roads.
