Additional Background Information 

The Coordinated Plan update will address the 
transportation needs of Seniors and Individuals 
with Disabilities over the next four years 
(2025-2028). The Coordinated Plan also fulfills 
requirements for FTA’s 5310 funding for 
LA County. FTA Section 5310 Program funds 
are available for capital and operating assistance 
to support public transportation projects 
that: 

 

1. Are planned, designed, and implemented 
to address the transportation needs 
of seniors and individuals with disabilities 
when existing public transportation is inadequate, 
inaccessible, or unavailable. 

2. Exceed the requirements of the Americans 
with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 to 
provide enhanced accessibility and mobility. 

3. Improve access to fixed-route transit 
services, thereby reducing dependence on 
complementary paratransit options. 

4. Offer alternative transportation solutions 
that help seniors and individuals with 
disabilities maintain independence and access 
essential services. 

As the Designated Recipient of FTA Section 
5310 Program funds in the urbanized areas 
of LA County, Metro will recommend projects 
for funding through a review process 
based on priorities and strategies outlined in 
the Coordinated Plan. This approach ensures 
that identified service gaps are effectively addressed 
through funding decisions.
