They also offer the Rural Operating Assistance Program (ROAP) for a fare of $12.75 one-way. It is required that either the beginning or ending destination be located within a rural portion of Orange County. There is also a Commuter Options Program which includes carpool and vanpool resources (Share the Ride NC), and biking and walking campaigns for people who live closer to work.

They are also working on building an online, interactive commuter maps that should launch by September and will also have a print version available. JCPC Business Funding Committee Report – The Funding Committee has met twice this year and have had long, difficult conversations about funding requests compared to the needs of the youth as identified by the Risk and Needs Committee. The Funding Committee recommends the following for FY 2019-20: JCPC Admin $8,178 Young Warriors $0 Wrenn House $10,722 Teen Court $61,330 Restitution & Community Service $69,870 Mediation & Conflict Resolution $40,500 Boomerang $28,131 Family Advocacy Network $0 Child & Adolescent Outpatient Services $0 (did not request funding) Unallocated $59,000 Additionally, the Funding Committee is proposing a second RFP be published for the unallocated funds for an interpersonal skills building program that has a parent and child component. The Funding Committee identified this as a need that isn’t currently being addressed in the community and for which no program application wasn’t received. If approved by the JCPC, the RFP will be posted Monday. All services providers, including those currently receiving JCPC funding, are encouraged to submit an application in response to the second RFP. A question was asked about FAN and why they are not being recommended for funding for next year. The Funding Committee had a discussion about the needs of the community and wanting to attract a program that has some increased nuisances that would help identify and support parent child interactions in a way that they aren’t currently be supported. FAN’s funding through JCPC is to provide Common Sense Parenting curriculum only, and not for the additional services that FAN provides. The other services that FAN (Linda) provides within the court system are supported by other funds received by Freedom House. Judge Scarlett expressed how vitally important those other (non-JCPC funded) services are that FAN provides and doesn’t want to see them go away. Denise stated that taking away JCPC funds doesn’t have anything to do with the other services that she mentioned and that it would be up to Freedom House to still make that other piece work. JCPC is not un-funding FAN, but rather Common Sense Parenting; FAN is much broader than just Common Sense Parenting. The JCPC Funding Committee is
