Monroe County LCB Convenes Quarterly Meeting for Transportation Disadvantaged March 6

The Monroe County Local Coordinating Board for the Transportation Disadvantaged convened its quarterly meeting on Friday, March 6, 2026 at the Marathon Government Center in the BOCC chambers, opening at 10:00 a.m. The county calendar listed a hybrid format, providing Meeting ID 871 8388 9390 and Passcode 035355 for remote participation and one-tap mobile entries for callers.

The board’s remit is statutory: "The primary purpose of the Local Coordinating Board (LCB) is to provide information and advice to the Community Transportation Coordinator (CTC) on the coordination of services provided to the transportation disadvantaged population of Monroe County, pursuant to Chapter 427.0157, Florida Statutes." That language was included in the meeting materials posted to the Monroe County events calendar.

Remote access details published for the session included two one-tap dial strings: +13052241968,,87183889390#,,,,\035355# US and +13017158592,,87183889390#,,,,\035355# US, the latter labeled US Washington DC in the calendar entry. The county entry repeated the in-person time and place as "In-person meeting at 10am, Marathon Government Center, BOCC Room" and mirrored the virtual credentials in the event detail.

Accessibility arrangements were spelled out with contact information. Pursuant to the Americans with Disabilities Act, meeting notices instructed that "any person requiring special accommodations at this meeting due to a disability or physical impairment, and any related questions or inquiries concerning this meeting should be directed to Anjana Morris at the Health Council of South Florida, Inc. at (305) 592-1452 ext. 101 at least 72 hours prior to the date of the meeting." That phone number and the 72-hour deadline appeared verbatim in the Monroe County calendar posting.

The county listing also displayed Monroe County government contact details for follow-up: 1100 Simonton Street, Key West, FL 33040, Main Number 305-294-4641, and standard calendar elements including social links. The meeting notice did not include an LCB roster or the name of Monroe County’s Community Transportation Coordinator; those materials can be requested from county staff using the main number.

Statewide context published alongside the local notice reminds readers that "The Florida Transportation Disadvantaged Program provides essential mobility for individuals who cannot transport themselves due to disability, age, or income limitations." Separate regional materials show that other Local Coordinating Boards operate under similar rules, for example MetroPlan Orlando’s TDLCB meets quarterly in February, May, August, and November and lists Virginia Whittington as a staff contact at 407-481-5672 x314.

Monroe County’s March 6 session met the notification requirements and offered hybrid access and ADA accommodations; residents seeking the agenda, minutes, board roster, or the county’s Community Transportation Coordinator should contact Monroe County at 305-294-4641 or the Health Council of South Florida at 305-592-1452 ext. 101 for accommodation inquiries.
