Transportation Disadvantaged Local Coordinating Board
The purpose of the Transportation Disadvantaged Local Coordinating Board (TD LCB) is to help identify local service needs and to provide information, advice and direction to the Community Transportation Coordinator (CTC) on the coordination of services to be provided to the transportation disadvantaged.
Transportation disadvantaged persons are considered those who, because of physical or mental disability, income status or age, are unable to transport themselves or to purchase transportation and are therefore dependent upon others to obtain access to health care, employment, education, shopping, social activities or other life-sustaining activities, or to children who are handicapped, high risk or at risk.
A variety of local agencies and interest groups related to transportation disadvantaged persons are voting members on the 19-person board.
The authority and duties of the Polk County Transportation Disadvantaged Coordinating Board are set forth in Chapter 427 of the Florida Statutes and Rule 41-2 of Florida Administrative Code.
