2 <br /> recipient's workplace, job interviews, job fairs, job readiness activities, or GED classes. The <br /> funds may also be used to transport the children of a qualified recipient to child care. <br /> OPT has provided rural general public transportation on a seat-available basis for many years <br /> on three (3) deviated fixed-routes (one Hillsborough area route and two transfer routes from the <br /> Chapel Hill area) that are also designed to provide transportation to work opportunities and <br /> programs for persons with developmental disabilities. The FY 2018 RGP allocation is $71,537. <br /> Total ROAP funding for FY 2017-18 is $185,949, the same as FY 2016-17. The period of <br /> performance for FY 2018 Rural Operating Assistance Program funds is July 1, 2017 through <br /> June 30, 2018. <br /> FINANCIAL IMPACT: The RGP segment of the ROAP funding allocation requires a 10% local <br /> match ($7,153.70), which OPT has incorporated into the FY 2017-18 budget. OPT estimates <br /> the anticipated amount to be received in preparation for upcoming budget years but traditionally <br /> did not apply for and receive the funding until October or November of the subject budget <br /> year/period of performance. For FY 2018 the initial application was submitted on September 29, <br /> 2017 and the signed application is due on November 3, 2017. Funding will be disbursed <br /> quarterly. Orange County was awarded a total of $185,949 for FY 2016-17, which results in no <br /> change of ROAP funding from FY 2016-17 to FY 2017-18. <br /> SOCIAL JUSTICE IMPACT: The following Orange County Social Justice Goals are associated <br /> with this item: <br /> • GOAL: FOSTER A COMMUNITY CULTURE THAT REJECTS OPPRESSION AND <br /> INEQUITY <br /> The fair treatment and meaningful involvement of all people regardless of race or color; <br /> religious or philosophical beliefs; sex, gender or sexual orientation; national origin or <br /> ethnic background; age; military service; disability; and familial, residential or economic <br /> status. <br /> • GOAL: ENSURE ECONOMIC SELF-SUFFICIENCY <br /> The creation and preservation of infrastructure, policies, programs and funding necessary <br /> for residents to provide shelter, food, clothing and medical care for themselves and their <br /> dependents. <br /> The ROAP grant application gives Orange County access to funding that supports valuable <br /> transportation services specifically for elderly persons and persons with disabilities, populations <br /> that tend to have fewer transportation options than other segments of the population. The <br /> services provided that will make use of the funding will also provide an inexpensive alternative <br /> to travel by personal vehicle that will help facilitate economic self-sufficiency by expanding <br /> transportation options for populations exhibiting the greatest need. <br /> RECOMMENDATION(S): The Manager recommends that the Board: <br /> 1. Approve the application for Rural Operating Assistance Program and accept funding <br /> totaling $185,949 for FY 2018; and <br /> 2. Authorize the County Manager and County Finance Officer to sign the Certified Statement <br /> of Participation. <br />
