Sarasota County Area Transit (SCAT) and Manatee County Area Transit (MCAT) will host two workshops July 10 to develop transportation priorities for serving elderly, disabled, low-income and unemployed individuals. The workshops will be from 10 a.m.-noon and 5-7 p.m. at Jobs, ETC, 3660 N. Washington Blvd., Sarasota.

SCAT and MCAT are producing a locally coordinated human services transportation plan for Sarasota and Manatee counties. The plan will guide grant dissemination under two federal programs: New Freedom, which funds transportation projects for the elderly and persons with disabilities; and Job Access and Reverse Commute, which funds projects for low-income and unemployed individuals. Grants are available for government, nonprofit or for-profit organizations that serve those target populations.

For more information, contact the Sarasota County Call Center at 941-861-5000 and ask for SCAT, or call MCAT toll-free at 866-642-3318.
