| Project Description: |
| To provide continuous funding to the Transportation Disadvantaged Program of the state. The CTD indicated that there were 1,000,000 unmet trips during the 04-05 reporting period because of lack of funding. In Lake County, we were unable to meet 279 trips, however, the number would have been much higher had the BCC not contributed over 1,5 million to provide additional trips. |
