OBJECTIVE: To provide continued transit service to the rural area of Collier County and safeguard the

CONSIDERATIONS: Title 49 Section 5311 of the United States Code provides funding through the
Federal Transit Administration (FTA) each year through an application process administered by the
Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT). Collier Area Transit (CAT) has been awarded FTA 5311
funds for the purpose of providing transit service to the rural areas of the County since 2005.
On December 11, 2018, the Board of County Commissioners (Board) ap proved a Resolution for the
execution and submittal of an application for the FY2019-2020 FTA Section 5311 Grant. On June 21,
2019, FDOT notified and issued the Public Transit and Neighborhood Enhancement (PTNE) Division a
recommendation for award to provide continued operational, administrative, and managerial funding for
the provision of public transportation services in the non-urbanized areas of Collier County. This award
will provide continued public transportation to six (6) rural routes; Routes 19 an d 28 (providing
transportation between the Immokalee area and the Intermodal Transfer Station), Route 121 (providing
early morning and late evening express service between Immokalee and Marco Island), Routes 22 and 23
(providing a circulator within the rural Immokalee community), and Route 24 (providing transportation
between the Charlee Estates area and the Intermodal Transfer Station).
The amount of Federal funding available for FY2019/2020 is $484,276. A local match totaling $484,276
is included in the contract, bringing the current value to $968,552. Staff has not received the agreement
yet. In order to prevent disruption of operations, we are requesting that the Board approve this Item in
order to ensure a budget in place to continue operations and the Chairman will sign the agreement upon
arrival. A grant award summary is attached to this item for the Board’s consideration. Should the award
amount be different from the estimated award, a subsequent Item will be presented along with any
necessary budget amendments to reflect variations in the final allocation.
FISCAL IMPACT: This FTA Section 5311 Grant PTGA provides for a total funding amount of
$968,552. The total funding is made up of Federal funds in the amount of $484,276 and a local match
amount of $484,276. A Budget Amendment is required in the amount of $484,276 to recognize grant
