Applications are Now Available for the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission's New Jersey FY 2012 and FY 2013 JARC and New Freedom Funding Round

January 7, 2011

The Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission (DVRPC) is now accepting applications from eligible agencies and organizations for Fiscal Years 2012 and 2013 Job Access and Reverse Commute (JARC), and New Freedom Grant Programs. JARC helps fund transportation services and supporting activities that facilitate access to jobs for lower income persons as well as reverse commute trips for the general public. The New Freedom program seeks to reduce barriers to transportation services and expand the transportation mobility options available to people with disabilities beyond the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990. Both programs apply to existing and proposed services within Mercer, Burlington, Camden, and Gloucester Counties.

DVRPC will host a public meeting to answer questions about the New Jersey application process on January 25, 2011, from 2:00 to 4:00 p.m. in DVRPC's offices:
The ACP Building - 8th Floor
190 N. Independence Mall West
Philadelphia, PA 19106

Applications for both JARC and New Freedom funding are now available online. For applications, instructions, eligible agencies and organizations, eligible projects, and additional information, please see www.dvrpc.org/CoordinatedHumanServices.

Applications must be submitted by 5 p.m., February 18, 2011.

DVRPC, as the metropolitan planning organization (MPO) for the greater Philadelphia region, solicits project proposals, facilitates the selection process, and evaluates the consistency of proposed projects with the adopted Coordinated Human Service Transportation Plan. Approved projects are added to the regional Transportation Improvement Program (TIP).
