The Honorable Phil Mendelson
Chairman
Council of the District of Columbia
John A. Wilson Building
1350 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, Suite 504
Washington, DC 20004-3001

Dear Chairman Mendelson:

Pursuant to the Reprogramming Policy Act of 1980, D.C. Official Code § 47- 363(a) and the
Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2026, approved February 3, 2026, Pub. Law No. 119- 75, the
Office of the Chief Financial Officer (OCFO) has reviewed the Mayor’s request to reprogram
Fiscal Year 2026 Local funds budget authority in the amount of $100,000 within the Executive
Office of the Mayor (EOM). The funds are needed to fund the VetsRide pass activities in the
Mayor’s Office of Community Partnerships.

This reprogramming is below the $500,000 threshold amount requiring approval by the Council.
However, another reprogramming from EOM has already been approved, and this reprogramming
would result in a cumulative change to the budget of EOM of more than $500,000.

This action will reprogram budget authority from the Mayor’s Office of Community Partnerships
program, Account Group 713100C (Other Services and Charges) to the Volunteerism and
Partnerships program, Account Group 714100C (Government Subsidies and Grants ). Funds are
available due to revised spending plans and shifting priorities within the agency's non-personnel
services budget.

The Office of Budget and Planning’s analysis indicates that the reprogramming will not have an
adverse impact on EOM’s budget or the District’s financial plan. The OCFO has no objection to
this reprogramming request.

DATE: May 14, 2026
SUBJECT: FY 2026 Reprogramming Request for $100,000 of Local funds within the
Office of the Mayor
The Office of the Mayor (AA0) requests to reprogram $100,000 in local funds within non­
personnel services budget to align FY26 budget with the revised spending plans in the Mayor's
Office of Community Partnerships.
Why are the funds needed?
The reprogrammed funds in the amount of$ I 00,000 are needed to fund the EOM MOU with
DFHV for VetsRide pass June 2026. VetsRide is a program authorized by DC Code Title 49,
Chapter 10, Section 1003, Paragraph 26. This program is a free on-demand transportation
service for veterans who make under 80% of the area median income. As defined by DC Code,
veterans that fit this criteria can receive up to fifteen one-way trips per month, six days a week,
and the code does not restrict the point of origin or destination as long as it is in the boundaries of
the District of Columbia; subject to the availability of funding.
In FY26, the VetsRide program funding has not been able to meet the demand of the eligible riders
in the District of Columbia. In a previous fiscal year, the number of rides per month was reduced
