The MTA is working in conjunction with the Maryland Coordinating Committee for Human Services Transportation, and the development of the statewide Coordinated Transportation Plan will be guided by a State Coordinated Planning Committee of relevant stakeholders.  This committee will meet at key points and serve as a sounding board, provide input into the regional plans and help create the state-level plan.  The State Coordination Plan will incorporate the FTA required elements, and follow this outline: 

• Background information on the plan and FTA requirements

• Review of the planning process

•  Assessment of current conditions using the Framework for Action tool

• State program guidance for management of the Section 5310, JARC and New Freedom Programs, including compliance requirements.

• State applications for the Section 5310, JARC and New Freedom Programs

• Evaluation criteria based on FTA guidance and the State’s adopted performance measures

• State agency coordination arrangements and actions based on current Five Year Human Services Transportation Plan

• Summary and appendix of the six regional plans
