the grant funds awarded to Collier County is estimated at $2,578,927; the difference of $351,672 is the
Bonita Springs/Lee County's portion.
Projects proposed for the anticipated grant funding may include, as funding permits: (1) transit enhancement
amenities such as the purchase, installation, replacement and/or repair of bus shelter and amenities; (2) taking
security measures such as installing security cameras and additional outdoor lighting; (3) use of the provision
