Cabarrus County <br />Department of Human Services <br />Section 5310 Funding Program Project Narrative <br />Expanded Project Description: <br />Currently Cabarrus County Transportation utilizes the Home and Community Care Block Grant (HCCBG) <br />to fund Senior (Elderly) trips. The funding received from this grant is $138,633. The service demand is <br />$351,713. Cabarrus County will use the 5310 funding to help fill the gap in service demand. <br />Project Needs: <br />This project will enhance transportation for our elderly citizens by providing additional funding for trips to <br />medical services and nutritonal meal sites. Due to current funding constraints there is currently a waiting <br />list for elderly transportation. The 5310 funding will help to fill the gap in funding. <br />Project Planning and Impementation: <br />Cabarrus County Transportation will coordinate with the Cabarrus County Department of Adult and Aging <br />to provide services for their clients to medical and nutrition appointments. Cabarrus County Transportation <br />will also work with CKRider bus system to connect clients to the Rider bus hub if they wish to use the bus <br />system. This project will continue for as long as there is funding to operate it. Cabarrus County <br />Transportation currently markets Senior Transportation through public meetings, our website, as well as <br />public outreach efforts. Cabarrus County Transportation would begin this project immediately upon <br />receiving the funding. This project is already in place. However, it is just underfunded, so no new processes <br />would need to be implemented in order to begin service. <br />Project Budget: <br />Once the 5310 funds are expended, Cabarrus County Transportation will continue to apply for the 5310 <br />funding program in order to continue services. As the program continues to grow Cabarrus County may <br />apply for additional 5310 capital funds to purchase vehicles. <br />Program Effectiveness and Evaluation: <br />Cabarrus County Transportation will monitor program effectiveness utilizing our RouteMatch software. <br />With this software we can track and report on the number of trips provided, purpose of the trips, and on <br />time percent. Cabarrus County also conducts client surveys monthy to monitor customer satisfaction. <br />1303 S.
