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 (PINE) 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.

Proposed Project Description
The Collier County Board of County Commissioners is requesting FTA Section 5339 funds to improve 34
existing bus stops in the rural area by bringing them into compliance with the American's with Disabilities
Act (ADA). 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.
