About the Coordinated Plan
The overarching goal of the The PUBLIC TRANSIT — HUMAN SERVICES TRANSPORTATION COORDINATION PLAN FOR SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY, 2026-2030 is to enhance the mobility of individuals with disabilities, seniors, people with low incomes, tribal members and military veterans — its target populations.
The coordinated planning process is required by the Federal Transit Administration As the designated Regional Transportation Planning Agency (RTPA) for San Bernardino County, SBCTA has assumed responsibility for developing the Coordinated Plan and its recurring update every four years.
FTA 5310 Grant Program
One of SBCTA’s funding responsibilities relates to the FTA Section 5310 program, the funding source directly associated to this Coordinated Plan. The FTA Section 5310 program provides grant funds to improve mobility for seniors and individuals with disabilities by removing barriers to transportation services and expanding the availability of transportation mobility options. All projects selected for funding must be included in a locally developed, coordinated public transit-human services transportation plan.
Measure I
Measure I is the half-cent sales tax collected throughout San Bernardino County for transportation improvements. San Bernardino County voters first approved the measure in 1989 and in 2004 approved an extension through 2040. As the county's transportation authority, SBCTA administers Measure I revenue and is responsible for ensuring that funds are used in accordance with initiatives ordinances and expenditure plan.
Omnitrans, as the designated Consolidated Transportation Services Agency (CTSA) for the San Bernardino Valley, administers the Measure I Valley funds. Their Measure I Regional Mobility Partnership (RMP) program holds competitive Calls-for-Projects to fund transportation projects that improve mobility for seniors and persons with disabilities. The Omnitrans RMP requires that the needs addressed by projects selected for funding must be identified in the Coordinated Plan.
