transportation services provided are unavailable, insufficient, or inappropriate to meet these needs. .
Funding from the grant would be used to support the City's "Surf City Seniors on the Go!" Senior
Transportation program. "Surf City Seniors on the Go!" is a grant and donation-based program that
provides curb-to-curb transportation for Huntington Beach seniors aged 60 years and over from their
homes to medical appointments, shopping centers, social services, and the Senior Center in Central
Park.
As part of the grant application process, Resolution 2024-37 must be adopted at a public hearing
(Attachment 1). As part of this requirement, staff sent a copy of the public notice via registered mail
to several nonprofit agencies (Attachment 2). The purpose of this notice is to inform interested
persons and/or private non-profit providers of the opportunity to express support or opposition of the
proposed grant application and proposed use of said grant during the public hearing portion of the
August 6, 2024, City Council meeting.
The proposed grant application is to purchase the TripSpark Notification Software to add to the
Existing Pass Software System. There is a need for the City to obtain newer and more modern
transportation software in order to continue to effectively offer this heavily utilized program. The
TripSpark Notification Software is a demand response application that gives passengers up-to-the
minute notifications to enhance their transportation experience. This enhanced notification tool
enables improved communication with riders by providing updates and reminders via Interactive
voice response (IVR), SMS text, or email in real time. If awarded, the 10% match requirement of
$5,168 will be provided by the Huntington Beach Council on Aging.
Environmental Status:
