Y <br /> 3 <br /> ORANGE COUNTY COORDINATED AGENCY TRANSPORTATION (CAT) PROGRAM <br /> PROJECT AMENDMENT - FY 93-94 <br /> JUSTIFICATION STATEMENT <br /> This amendment would include the addition of the new Smart <br /> Start Program administered by the Orange County Partnership <br /> for Young Children, Inc. This agency is responsible for <br /> coordination and collaboration efforts of over fifty child <br /> care programs. The initial request is for one standard 14 <br /> passenger van and one 20 passenger standard van cutaway. <br /> Purpose- The vehicles will be available to be checked out by <br /> child care centers and homes serving children five years of <br /> age and under in Orange County. The vehicles will be used <br /> for enrichment field trips and transporting children to <br /> therapy appointments. Potentially the vehicles could be used <br /> by over one thousand children. Field trips and therapy <br /> transportation will take place between the hours of 7 :30 AM <br /> and 5:30 PM (there may be occasional exceptions) . Another <br /> use for the vehicles would be to transport parents to special <br /> events or parenting classes at their child care program or a <br /> sponsoring agency. These events may take place on evenings <br /> or weekends. <br /> Responsibility for Matching Funds and Operational Costs: The <br /> Orange County Partnership for Young Children, Inc. will <br /> provide the 15% local matching funds required to obtain the <br /> vehicles. The Partnership will designate a sum to be used to <br /> assist child care programs in covering the costs for driver <br /> and vehicle mileage. <br /> FN:SeclBAmd.Doc <br />
