The purpose of the Coordinated Human Service Transportation Plan for the National Capital Region is to guide funding decisions for three FTA programs, the Job Access Reverse Commute (JARC) Program, the New Freedom Program and the Elderly and Disabled Individuals Program commonly known as Section 5310. 

This Coordinated Plan is also intended to broaden the dialogue and support further collaboration between human service agencies and transportation providers to better serve persons with disabilities, individuals with limited incomes and older adults. The Plan will be a “living document” and will evolve to support greater coordination and collaboration efforts within the region.

The Coordinated Plan covers the jurisdictions of the multi-state region that is the National Capital Region Transportation Planning Board’s (TPB’s) planning area.
