Collier County recently adopted the Collier Area Transit Bus Stop Assessment which can be reviewed at: http://www.colliergov.net/index.aspx?page=7462. CAT currently has 548 bus stops. Of the total bus stops, the assessment concluded that a total of 35 bus stops were technically ADA compliant. For those bus stops that were identified with deficiencies, the deficiencies ranged from minor deficiencies (inadequate bus stop sign height) that are quickly and inexpensively corrected to major deficiencies (no boarding and alighting pad or surrounding infrastructure leading to stop not ADA compliant), requiring planning, design, coordination and potentially significant expense to correct. The study included a two-step prioritization process to help determine which improvements should be implemented first. The first step examined the conditions at each stop, its accessibility, the safety/security and its operational efficiency. The second step involved assessing factors that related to the frequency of use of the bus stop and nearby trip generators to determine the demand for the improvement. After the assessment and prioritizations were completed, the consultants completed an Implementation and Financial Plan that included cost estimates for the design and construction of recommended improvements. The plan estimated a total cost for the improvements at $3,538,200. Collier County is requesting funding for 34 rural bus stops. The average cost for each bus stop is approximately $8,000. The total estimated cost for this project is $272,000. The Federal amount requested is $217,600. A 20% State match will be requested in the amount of$54,400 Section 5339 funding for these bus stops is essential to improve accessibility to CAT riders. Currently, 32 of the 34 bus stops shown in the attached list are within the Immokalee area. Immokalee is one of the three "Rural Areas of Opportunity" (RAO) Florida has designated. This means that the area has been adversely affected by extraordinary economic events or natural disasters. According to the 2012 American Community Survey, approximately 48% of all families live below the poverty level in Immokalee and 17% of all residents use mass transit. The residents of Immokalee depend upon CAT to access employment and meet other needs such as medical and nutritional. Access to the transit system is vital to their well being. yr Project Locations Stop ID Location 286 Immokalee Road &39th Ave NE 341 Lincoln Boulevard & Lake Trafford Road 287 Immokalee Road &Oil Well Road 344 Lincoln Boulevard &Carson Road 363 S 1st Street& E Delaware Ave 368 Farm Workers Village&State Road 29 325 E Main Street&9th Street E 291 Golden Gate Bouelvard & Estates Library 365 E Main Street& New Market Road E 371 S 9th Street&W Main Street 372 Roberts Avenue& N 9th Street 400 N 1st Street&2nd Avenue N 354 S 9th Street&W Main Street 391 Westclox Road &Carson Road 352 N 15th Street & Roberts Ave 375 N 15th Street &5th Ave 389 Carson Road & Lake Trafford Road 405 Hope Circle &S 5th Street 91 Big Cypress Flea Market&Tamiami Trail 374 N 15th Street &Goodwill 343 Lincoln Boulevard &Crestview Drive 335 Carson Road & Lake Trafford Road 407 Hope Circle &S 5th Street 370 S 9th Street & Boston Avenue 380 Crestview Apartments&Carson Road 357 S 5th Street&W Delaware Ave 379 Lake Trafford Road & Friendship Drive 367 E Main Street & New Harvest Road 349 N 15th Street &8th Ave 332 Marrion Feathers & Pinellas 351 N 15th Street & Immokalee Drive 353 Roberts Avenue& N 9th Stret 355 S 9th Stret& Boston Avenue 402 S 4th Street &W Main Street Exhibit C Public Notice Place holder a2 0 Exhibit E Single Audit Act(as described in OMB Circular A-133) Collier County Board of County Commissioners receives$500,000 or more for the current fiscal year from all Federal sources and therefore is subject to the Single Audit Act.

Sc% R.Teach, Deputy County Attorney EXHIBIT A System Description Vision: To be an integral part of Collier County's Transportation network operated effectively and efficiently to improve economic and environmental benefits while providing all residents an alternative to the automobile. System Description: Collier Area Transit (CAT) provides residents and visitors of Collier County with an accessible mode of travel. These services include public transit for fixed route and paratransit. Collier County occupies a land area of approximately 2,025.3 square miles making it one of the largest County's in Florida. At least 80 percent of the Collier County land area has been set aside as preserve lands, including Big Cypress National Preserve, Everglades National Park, two national wildlife refuges, one national research reserve, three state parks, one state forest, and a number of other public and private parks and nature preserves. In addition, Collier County has nearly 50 miles of public beaches and a vast area of Agricultural lands. With such a large land area, comes wear and tear. More vehicle miles traveled translate into increased maintenance requirements of our fleet. The Collier County Board of County Commissioner is the governing body for the Public Transportation system in Collier County. The Public Transportation system, Collier Area Transit(CAT), operates under the supervision of the Collier County Department of Public Transit & Neighborhood Enhancement (PTNE) for the Collier County Public Service Division. CAT serves as the public transit provider for Collier County, serving the Naples, Marco Island, and Immokalee areas. It is the mission of CAT to provide safe, accessible and courteous public transportation services to our customers. Collier County is considered a complete brokerage system, contracting all of its operations currently to Keolis Transit America who is responsible for the day to day transit operations of the transit system including hiring, training and management of the bus operators and customer service personnel. Keolis currently employees 105 persons to run the CAT operations of which 27 handle the paratransit operations. The management and oversight of the Keolis contract is conducted by the Alternative Transportation Modes (ATM) Department, who has a total of 4.5 employees within the Transit section. Collier Area Transit's fixed route program had a total of 1,361,294 riders in fiscal year 2013 of which 24% come from the rural areas. CAT currently offers 16 fixed routes though out Collier County of which four go to the non-urbanized/rural areas; Route 19 (Provides transportation to and from the Immokalee area to the Intermodal transfer Station), Route 121 (Provides an early morning and late evening express service between Immokalee and Marco Island), Route 23 and Route 24 (Provides a circulator within the rural Immokalee community). Because of the high poverty level and limited access to vehicles, many residents with the Immokalee community and surrounding areas rely on CAT for access to employment and to meet other personal needs. It is imperative that these residents are able to safely access CAT's bus stops to continue to support themselves and their families.
