ROAP includes the Elderly and Disabled Tran.qportafion Assistance Program (EDTAP), the Work First Transitional/Employment Transportation Assistance Program and the Rural General Public (RGP) Program. For budgeting purposes, the division is providing draft Fir 2001-2002 ROAP allocations based on anticipated legislative appropriations. We are committed to maintaining the currem level of ROAP funding. However, as you probably know, this is looking to be an extremely tight budget year and ROAP allocations are contingent upon approval 9f the funds by the North Carolina General Assembly. Note that no carryover of unexpended funds from previous years are included. In other words, these allocations represent the "worse case" situations, assuming the funds gain legislative approval. While the final allocations may be slightly different due to the possible addition of carryover funds, revised Work First case loads or number of counties utilizing RGP funds, you are encouraged to utilize these draft allocations for budgeting purposes. You will note that your allocations may differ substantially from previous years. Besides there being no carryover funds included, the allocations were computed utilizing the latest certified population estimates from the North Carolina Office of State Planning.
