City of Huntington Beach Page 1 of 3 Printed on 8/13/2026 powered by LegistarT" File #: 26-670 MEETING DATE: 8/18/2026 Analysis: The Orange County Enhanced Mobility for Seniors and Disabled Grant (EMSD) grant program is administered through the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA). The EMSD program is intended to support the needs of seniors and people with disabilities when transportation services are unavailable, insufficient, or inappropriate to meet these needs. Funding from the grant would be used to support the City's "Surf City Senior's on the Go!" transportation program. "Surf City Senior's 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 a variety of locations, such as nutrition services, medical appointments, shopping centers, social services, and the Senior Center in Central Park. As part of the grant application process, Resolution No. 2026-34 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 non-profit agencies (Attachment 2). The purpose of this notice is to inform interested people and/or 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 18, 2026, City Council meeting. The proposed grant application would fund the purchase of three accessible vehicles to transport older adults and individuals with disabilities. The City needs newer, modern vehicles to continue providing this heavily utilized transportation program effectively. City staff propose purchasing two accessible vans, each capable of seating seven passengers or a combination of seated passengers and wheelchair users. The third vehicle would be a small accessible bus designed to accommodate up to 9 passengers, including both seated and wheelchair passengers. Acquiring these three new vehicles would allow the City to retire one older bus currently on standby, shift another aging bus into standby status, and maintain reliable transportation services for the older adults of Huntington Beach. The "Surf City Senior's on the Go!" program in fiscal year 2025/2026 provided 23,000 trips and served over 500 unduplicated participants annually. Over 300 of those unduplicated participants have mobility limitations and use a mobility device. An appropriation of$43,560 is requested from the Equipment Replacement Fund 325 fund balance in order to fulfill the 10% match requirements of the grant. Environmental Status: Pursuant to CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(5), administrative activities of governments that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment do not constitute a project. Strategic Plan Goal: Non Applicable - Administrative Item Attachment(s): 1.
