Commission authorizes Laguna Honda to acquire large shuttle vehicle
Summary
The Health Commission approved a resolution allowing Laguna Honda Hospital to enter a Caltrans standard agreement and procure a large transit shuttle vehicle (FTA Section 5310) to replace aging vans and expand community reintegration trips.
The Health Commission approved a resolution authorizing Laguna Honda Hospital to enter the California Department of Transportation standard agreement and acquire one large transit shuttle vehicle under the Federal Transit Administration Section 5310 program.
Laguna Honda staff said the vehicle will replace 12‑ and 20‑year‑old shuttle vans and will support community outings and reintegration for residents, potentially extending routes beyond the current three‑mile radius. “They will…replace our 12 and 20 year old shuttle vans,” a Laguna Honda representative told commissioners, adding that the new vehicles will increase capacity for community trips.
The item was moved and seconded with no public comment and passed on a voice vote. The resolution authorizes staff to enter the grant agreement and proceed with procurement; staff said they will report back through the appropriate joint conference committee as vehicle details are finalized.
