TRANSIT PLANNING
NIRCC has an integral role in the transit planning activities that occur within Allen County. NIRCC has a working relationship with most of the areas transit providers. These providers, along with representatives from local government, social service agencies, and consumers, serve on committees overseen by NIRCC that focus on transit related activities within Allen County.
There are two committees that deal with transit related activities in Allen County, the Transit Planning Committee (TPC) and the Transportation Advisory Committee (TAC). The TPC meets monthly and the TAC meets quarterly. The TPC was established in 1993 as a working committee of the Urban Transportation Advisory Board (UTAB). The main focus of the TPC is to assist in coordinating and facilitating local public transit and para-transit services. The TAC serves as a sub-committee of the TPC focusing mainly on the local transportation issues faced by persons with disabilities and low income individuals. The TPC has been integral in projects such as the Coordinating Development and Transportation Services Guide, the Citilink Transit Development Plan and updates, and the Coordinated Public Transit-Human Services Transportation Plan for Allen County. TPC also takes the lead role in the facilitation and evaluation of the local Section 5310 Enhanced Mobility of Seniors and Individuals with Disabilities Operational Funding Program. The TAC takes the lead role in the facilitation and evaluation of the local Section 5310 Enhanced Mobility of Seniors and Individuals with Disabilities Capital Funding Program and is responsible for maintaining the local Transportation Resource Guide.
