(b) State owned vehicles;

(c) Privately owned vehicle of a family member or custodian;

(d) Common carriers, such as commercial airlines or bus; and

(e) Emergency medical vehicles.

(3) The sponsoring agency may utilize other modes of transportation when the community transportation coordinator determines it is unable to provide or arrange the required service. Information pertaining to these denials for service shall be reported by the community transportation coordinator on a quarterly basis or more frequently as specified by the local coordinating board.

(4) All agency applications for transportation disadvantaged operating and capital assistance funds beyond those identified in the normal state legislative budget process shall be made available to the Coordinating Board for such review.

(5) The Commission shall request all funding requests containing a transportation disadvantaged fund component from the Florida State Clearinghouse. Said funding request shall be reviewed by the Commission.
