EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve a Resolution authoriziug the Chairman of the Board of County
Commissioners to execute the attached Federal Transit Administration Section 5311 grant
application and applicable documents.
OBJECTIVE: To obtain authorization for the Chairman of the Board of County Commissioners to
execute the attached Federal Transit Administration (FT A) Section 5311 grant application requesting
$531,110 and applicable documents.
CONSIDERATION: Federal Transit Administration (FT A) Section 5311 grant funds were
established for the purpose of supporting public transportation in Rural and Small Urban Areas,
defined as areas with population of less than 50,000 people. FT A Section 5311 funds have been
awarded to Collier County each year through an application process administered by the Florida
Department of Transportation (FDOT).
Immokalee is a small urban area with a current estimated population of 25,946. The Immokalee
Circulator qualifies as a public transportation route in a population area with less than 50,000 people;
the funds associated with this FT A grant application would be used for the Immokalee Circulator. In
January 2008, Collier Area Transit increased service on the Immokalee Circulator by adding a
reverse route. The ridership has increased on this route and provides a much needed transportation
alternative to the people ofImmokalee. It allows people to get to shopping, health care and jobs.
As a governmental entity that provides public transportation in rural and small urban areas, the BCC
is eligible to file the attached grant application to continue the public transportation service in
Immokalee.
FISCAL IMP ACT: This grant request of $531,110 will require a 50% local match and the grant
funds will be available during the County's 2009 and 2010 Fiscal Years. The local match amount is
budgeted in Fund 426. No new or additional matching funds will be required.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been reviewed and approved by the County
Attorney's Office, is not quasi-judicial and requires no ex parte disclosure, requires only a majority
vote for approval. and is otherwise legally sufficient for Board action.-SRT
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: Consistent with the Transportation Element of the
Growth Management Plan as slated in Obj ectives ] 0 and 12.
RECOMMENDATION: That the Board approve a Resolution authorizing the Chairman of the
BCC to execute all documents necessary to apply for the Federal Transit Administration Section
5311 Grant, including executing the Certification and Assurance to FDOT document. It should be
recognized that the grant award referenced above in the amount of $531, II 0 is a preliminary number
and is subject to change. Any award granted through this application process will be brought back
before the BCC for execution.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION FROM THE TRANSPORTATION SERVICE
DEVELOPMENT PLAN
INTRODUCTION TO THE SERVICE AREA
Background
Collier County Government's Alternative Transportation Modes Transportation Department
serves as the Community Transportation Coordinator (CTC) for Collier County.
Collier County CTC is considered a complete brokerage, contracting all fixed-route, paratransit,
and transportation disadvantaged operations to McDonald Transit who operates as Collier Area
Transit (CAT). CAT obtains prior authorization for all trips (ADA, TD, and Medicaid), schedules
the trip(s) and invoices the Collier County Alternative Transportation Modes Department on a
monthly basis.
Collier Area Transit operates nine routes on a fixed-route system. The entire fleet is equipped
with lifts that are compatible with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (ADA). CAT sub-
contracts with private operators to provide TD paratransit service throughout the remaining
portions of 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, transportation, reporting, cost-sharing and information sharing. Collier County
provides administrative support such as grant writing, planning, budgeting, and public
information and also program approval for all aspects of the Paratransit program. Three distinct
transportation programs are provided under Collier Area Transit's Paratransit Program:
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), Transportation Disadvantaged (TD) and Medicaid.
The ADA program provides service to people who reside within 0/. miles of an existing CAT bus
route and have transportation needs that fall within the service schedule of CAT, but cannot
access the bus system due to a disability.
The TD program provides service to people residing in areas where CAT bus routes are not
available and who have no other means of transportation.
The Medicaid program provides transportation to Medicaid eligible people who cannot travel by
the CAT bus routes and have no other means of transportation.
Collier Area Transit currently employs seventy-five people.
