About Us

COG is the one place in metropolitan Washington that regularly brings leaders together to develop solutions to the region's major challenges. COG prepares plans enabling the region to receive federal funding, provides members with research and data to inform decision-making, and offers a wide range of programs, including commuter services, cooperative purchasing, technical assistance and grants, and public outreach campaigns.

Transportation

Through the National Capital Region Transportation Planning Board (TPB), area officials, planners, and engineers ensure a well-managed and maintained transportation system. The TPB, which is staffed by COG, conducts the federally mandated transportation planning process for the region and ensures the uninterrupted flow of federal transportation funds that area jurisdictions receive.

Environment

COG's work engages leaders in various environmental fields from water quality experts to climate scientists. Together, they are advancing regional efforts to restore local waterways, improve air quality, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and address climate change, promote recycling, and enhance and preserve green space and agriculture.

Community

Area officials and experts, including planning and housing directors and child welfare and health officials, work together with their counterparts at COG to help shape stronger communities throughout the region.

Homeland Security & Public Safety

COG brings police chiefs, fire chiefs, emergency managers, and other leaders together as part of its work to strengthen regional public safety coordination, homeland security planning, and emergency communication.

Program Management Plan for Enhanced Mobility of Seniors and Individuals with Disabilities funds (Section 5310)

Summary

This Program Management Plan (PMP) outlines the policies and procedures the Metropolitan Washington Council of Governments (COG) will use in the management and administration of the Enhanced Mobility of Seniors and Individuals with Disabilities Program. This new program, created under the two-year transportation authorization, Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century Act (MAP-21), offers limited funding to certain qualifying organizations to enhance mobility for seniors and persons with disabilities by providing matching grants for programs to serve the special needs of transit-dependent populations above traditional public transportation services and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) complementary paratransit service. COG, as the administrative agent for the National Capital Region Transportation Planning Board (TPB), is the designated recipient of Enhanced Mobility funds for the Washington DC-VA-MD Urbanized Area; and COG is the administrative agent responsible for all of the TPB’s procurement, accounting, and legal activities.
