ELIGIBILITY Designated Applicant North Carolina's coordinated approach to service delivery currently allows a single application within each designated service area. Section 5311 funding is only provided to a single sub recipient within each geographical area (county or counties served by a regional transit system). Originally, the transit system's service area for rural operations was established by the governing body in the initial Transportation Development Plan (TDP) for the service area and approved by the NCDOT. PTD will implement the adoption of a Governing Board resolution that designates the single designated 5311 applicant on a 5 year cycle. This cycle is 2018, 2023, 2028 and so forth. Transportation Advisory Board Each applicant is REQUIRED to have a Transportation Advisory Board (TAB). A TAB is made up of stakeholders from the service area that care about the services provided by the transit system. The make -up of the TAB is representative of the various target audiences in the service area and includes one or more actual passengers of the transit system. An "ACTIVELY ENGAGED" Transportation Advisory Board is expected to discuss unmet needs in the service area, service design and scheduling, billing rates and fares, and to resolve complaints. They also monitor compliance with federal regulations and the status of any deficiencies noted in any official federal, state or local review or report. The Transportation Advisory Board is a locally formed advisory group based on the following guidelines and requirements: TRANSPORTATION ADVISORY BOARD (TAB) COMPOSITION CATEGORIES PUBLIC HUMAN SERVICE AGENCY TRANSPORTATIO N PROVIDERS PUBLIC AND BUSINESS SECTORS GOVERNMENT AND GOVERNMENTAL AFFILIATES TRANSIT USER Suggested number of representatives 3 -5 1 -2 4 -5 3 -5 1-3 per category ■ Senior Services ■ Private ■ Chamber of ■ MPO Passenger(s) that NOTE: TAB ■ DSS transportation Commerce ■ RPO currently utilize members should ■ Vocational providers ■ Major ■ Economic the transit system be individuals Rehabilitation ■ Intercity bus employers Development that know about .
