Each year, through an application process administered by FDOT, the Collier Area Paratransit program has obtained funds that are used for the purchase of vehicles and for the provision of transportation services to the elderly and disabled residents of Collier County. The 5310 capital grant application is estimated to be $681,894 for six(6)vehicles. This capital grant requires a 10% local match. If the grant request is approved for the full amount requested, the source of funds will be $545,515.20 Federal,matched by$68,189.40 State and$68,189.40 local.

These paratransit vehicles will be purchased in FY15 through the FDOT Vehicle Procurement Program. FTA Section 5311 Grant Request Pursuant to 49 U.S.C. § 5311, Collier County provides mass transportation to residents in non-urbanized areas in County through Collier Area Transit. Each year, through an application process administered by FDOT, Collier County has obtained funds that are used for the operation of transportation services to residents in rural communities of Collier County. The 5311 operating grant application is estimated to be $809,000 and it will be utilized to provide transit services in the non-urbanized areas of Collier County. This operations grant requires a 50% local match. If the grant request is approved for the full amount requested, the source of funds will be $404,500 Federal and $404,500 local. Section 5311 Funding for operating assistance is essential to continue the existing level of service being provided for the non-urbanized areas of the County.

EXHIBIT A Current System Description: Collier Area Transit (CAT) & Collier Area Paratransit (CAP) 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. Collier Area Paratransit's Mission: Identify and safely meet the transportation needs of Collier County, through a courteous, dependable, cost effective and environmentally sound team commitment. Collier County Local Coordinating Board Mission: To carry out a coordinated and comprehensive approach to planning, developing and providing transportation services that meet the needs of transportation disadvantaged persons. 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 is considered a complete brokerage system, contracting all of its operations 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 around 100 persons to run the CAT operations of which approximately 40 are dedicated to the paratransit service. The management 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. The Collier County Board of County Commissioners serves as the Community Transportation Coordinator (CTC) for Collier County. As the management company for the CTC, CAT performs the basic elements of coordination for the Paratransit program in Collier County, e.g., call intake, certification, eligibility, reservations, scheduling, reporting and many other related functions. Paratransit service is provided seven days a week to the citizens of Collier County under two distinct programs ADA and Transportation Disadvantaged; these includes individuals with disabilities, low income, and elderly in both the urbanized and non-urbanized areas of the County. The Medicaid program has been managed by a private provider since July 1s` of 2012. Service is provided under contract to Keolis mainly using vehicles provided and owned by the County. A total of 87, 840 one-way trips were provided during the state fiscal year 2013 and 87.263 during Collier County's fiscal year 2013. Almost 27 percent of Collier County's population is 65 years of age or older; this is 10% higher than the entire state of Florida. Collier County occupies a land area of 2,026 square miles making it one of the largest County's in Florida. With such a large land area, comes wear and tear. 7 l , Packet Page -967- 1/14/2014 16.D.2. More vehicle miles traveled translate into increased maintenance requirements of our fleet. Collier Area Transit's paratransit program operates an average of 20 routes and or manifests each day using Collier County owned vehicles. The maintenance of Collier County owned vehicles is performed by Collier County Fleet Management. Collier Area Paratransit's program conducts regular safety inspections on all vehicles as a critical component of our overall safety and security program. Our current vehicle inventory is supplied elsewhere in this grant application. As can be seen, many of the vehicles presently in the Collier County/Collier Area Transit Fleet have high mileage on them. The Federal guidelines for vehicle replacement indicate that our paratransit size of vehicles qualify for replacement after 5 years or in excess of 200,000 miles. As the Community Transportation Coordinator, we would like to be able to replace high mileage vehicles. High mileage vehicles require increased maintenance expenses compared with lower mileage vehicles.

EXHIBIT B Proposed Project Description: The Collier County Board of County Commissioners is requesting FTA Section 5310 funds to purchase six replacement vehicles to continue the existing level of paratransit service in the amount of$545,515.20 (80%). State match funds in the amount of$68,189.40 (10%) will also be requested. This will be matched with local funds in the amount of $68,189.40 (10%). The vehicles scheduled for replacement have exceeded their useful life and must be replaced if normal service is to continue. These and other vehicles will be used to provide paratransit transportation services throughout the county. All vehicles utilized for the County public transportation system are maintained in safe and operational condition by the County's Fleet Management Department. The Fleet Management Department provides for regular preventative maintenance of all vehicles at the CAT Operations Center located at 8300 Radio Road. Section 5310 funding for these vehicles is essential if service is to continue. Collier County currently provides about $1.8 million dollars each year from local funds to provide paratransit services. The current fleet of vehicles has exceeded its life expectancy and is inadequate due to their age and condition. Having an elder fleet reduces vehicle reliability and passenger safety and it requires higher maintenance, therefore increasing the operating cost. Collier Area Transit (CAT), as many other transit agencies across the nation, is facing tough financial times and local funds contribution is stagnate. Should the State not approve this grant, CAT may be forced to use some of the local operating funds to purchase replacement vehicles; therefore being forced to cut trips. Without 5310 funds for vehicle replacement Collier County will be forced to implement the trip prioritization of Transportation Disadvantaged as allowed by the State of Florida Commission for the Transportation Disadvantaged. In this situation, trips would be reduced/ denied and many passengers would not have access to medical, work, recreational, and other life sustaining transportation. It is critical that Collier Area Transit receives these 5310 funds for vehicle replacement in order to be able to continue offering safe and reliable transportation. Collier Area Transit's paratransit provides ADA, and Transportation Disadvantaged, as well as agency funded paratransit trips for the at-risk population of Collier County, including those with disabilities, low income, and elderly. A Budget is provided elsewhere in the grant application as well as a list of equipment inventory. 9 Packet Page -969- Public Notice 1/14/2014 16.D.2. Public Notice is hereby given that Collier County will apply to the Florida Department of Transportation for a capital grant under Section 5310 of the Federal Transit Act of 1991, as amended,for the purchase of six(6)paratransit vehicles to be used for the provision of public transit services within Collier County,FL.Collier County will also be applying to the Florida Department of Transportation for a grant under section 5311 of the Federal Transit Act of 1991,as amended for total operating expenses in the amount of 5404,500 to be used for the provision of public transit services in Collier County's non urbanized areas.

EXHIBIT A System Description Collier County is located in southwest Florida and is bordered on the north by Lee and Hendry counties, on the south by Monroe County,on the east by Broward and Dade counties, and on the west by the Gulf of Mexico. The county consists of three incorporated areas: Naples, Everglades City, and Marco Island. Collier County is approximately 2,025.3 square miles. 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. 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 Alternative Transportation Modes(ATM)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 fixed route and paratransit operation services 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 111 staff to run the operations. The management of the Keolis contract is conducted by the ATM Department,who has a total of 4.5 employees within the Transit section. Collier Area Transit provides ADA and Transportation Disadvantaged trips to the citizens of Collier County, including those with disabilities, low income,and elderly in both the urbanized and non-urbanized areas of the County. Description of service, routes and ridership numbers Section 5311 funding for operating assistance is essential if service is to continue for the non- urbanized areas of the County. Collier County currently provides about $2 million dollars each year from local funds to provide fixed route services. Collier Area Transit, as many other transit agencies across the nation, is facing tough financial times and local funds contribution is stagnate. Should the State not approve this grant, CAT may be forced to reduce routes. With a reduction in service, many passengers would not have access to medical,work, recreational,and other life sustaining activities that public transit n o w makes possible. It is critical that Collier Area Transit receives these 5311 funds to continue providing services in the non-urbanized area of 10 Packet Page-996- 1/14/2014 16.D.2. Collier County. The 5311 grant helps fund four (4) non-urbanized/rural routes; Route 5 (Immokalee Shuttle — provides a shuttle to and from the Immokalee area to the transfer point on Radio Road), Route 7 (Immokalee Express — provides an early morning and late evening express service between Immokalee and Marco Island),Route 8A and Route 8B(Immokalee Circulator—provides a circulator within the rural Immokalee community). The Collier County Board of County Commissioners, Collier Area Transit (CAT) is requesting FTA Section 5311 funds in the total project amount of $809,000. State match funds in the amount of $404,500 (50%). This will be matched with local funds in the amount of $404,500 (50%). Funds from this grant will be used to continue operation of fixed route in the non- urbanized area of Collier County to continue providing the existing level of service. These funds will be used to fund routes that are open to the general public and are not subject to the prioritization process as described in the Transportation Disadvantaged Service Plan (TDSP).

EXHIBIT B Proposed Project Description The Collier County Board of County Commissioners is requesting FTA Section 5339 funds to purchase six replacement vehicles to continue the existing level of fixed route service in the amount of$224,534.40(80%). State match funds in the amount of $56,133.60 (20%) will also be requested. The vehicles scheduled for replacement listed under Form C-3 have exceeded their useful life and must be replaced if normal service is to continue. These vehicles will be used by the supervisors to provide support to the fixed route transportation services throughout the county's rural areas and do not require a CDL license. CAT's support vehicles are used to provide transportation to passengers that missed the regularly scheduled bus due to a route delay caused by of an accident, heavy traffic or any other unforeseen problem. Such support allows for continued service to the public without interruptions in order for them to reach their desired destinations. These vehicles also support the maintenance of the passenger bus stops and amenities,which represents 30%within the rural communities. All vehicles utilized for the County public transportation system are maintained in safe and operational condition by the County's Fleet Management Department. The Fleet Management Department provides for regular preventative maintenance of all vehicles at the CAT Operations Center located at 8300 Radio Road. Section 5339 funding for these vehicles is essential if support of the service is to continue. The current fleet of vehicles has exceeded its life expectancy and is inadequate due to their age and condition. Having an elder fleet reduces vehicle reliability and passenger safety and requires higher maintenance, therefore increasing the operating cost. Collier Area Transit (CAT), as many other transit agencies across the nation, is facing tough financial times and local funds contribution is stagnate. Should the State not approve this grant, CAT may be forced to reduce transportation service because limited local operating funds will have to be used to purchase replacement vehicles. It is critical that Collier Area Transit receives these 5339 funds for vehicle replacement in order to be able to continue offering safe and reliable support for fixed route transportation. A Budget is provided elsewhere in the grant application as well as a list of equipment inventory. Packet Page -1019- Public Notice 1/14/2014 16.D.2.

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 Alternative Transportation Modes (ATM) 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 100 persons to run the CAT operations of which 40 handle the paratransit operations. The management and oversight of the Keoi is 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 15 fixed routes though out Collier County of which four go to the non-urbanized/rural areas; Route 5 (Provides transportation to and from the Immokalee area to the Intermodal transfer Station), Route 7 (Provides an early morning and late evening express service between Immokalee and Marco Island),Route 8A and Route 8B(Provides a circulator within the rural Immokalee community). Because of the large area that these routes cover they have headways of 90 to 120 minutes. Many times buses are full and due to the length of the headways and the distance Supervisors need to backup the routes with their vehicles. Our current support vehicle inventory is supplied under form C-3 of this grant application. As can be seen,many of the vehicles presently in the Collier County/Collier Area Transit Fleet have over 10 years on them. The Federal guidelines for vehicle replacement indicate that our regular and specialized vans size of vehicles qualify for replacement after 4 years or in excess of 100.000 miles. The maintenance of Collier County owned vehicles / Packet Page -1028- 1/14/2014 16.D.2. is performed by Collier County Fleet Management. High mileage vehicles require increased maintenance expenses compared with lower mileage vehicles. Packet Page-1029- 1/14/2014 16.D.2.
