FINANCIAL IMPACT:
Funded 100% by the Governor's 15% Grant for Special Projects through the grant period. The Employment and
Human Services Department has requested an extension of the grant period from March 31, 2001 to September
30, 2001. Thereafter, or if the grant extension request is denied, funded 100% by the Ca1WORKs allocation
85% Federal, 15% County.
BACKGROUND:
In September 1998, the Board approved and authorized acceptance of the Governor's 15% Grant for Special
Projects funding in the amount of$784,031. The grant provides funding for job opportunities and work related
transportation services for Ca1WORKs recipients.
In January 1999, the Welfare-to-Work Transportation Plan was developed by the Transportation Alliance to
address overall County transportation issues including,job development in transportation services and the
unmet transportation needs related to childcare for children of Cal WORKS recipients. The Plan presented
recommendations for wide ranging program(s) development and implementation.
In addition, the Welfare-to-Work Transportation Plan explored and recommended expansion of programs to use
CalWORKs funding to serve client populations other than those specifically identified under the Governor's
15% Grant for Special Projects.
The complexity of transportation-focused service programs requires specialized.staffing with expertise in
program design, program implementation and transportation.
