EXHIBIT A: Current System Description:
FTA - 5310
Currently, Collier Area Transit provides transportation services to the general public. Services
provided include fixed route bus service and paratransit service. The public transit services are
managed by a contracted management company; McDonald Transit Associates, Inc. Paratransit
service is available seven days per week, 24 hours per day. All service is provided by contracted
operators.
Paratransit service is door to door. Drivers will assist anyone who appears to need assistance,
especially the frail and elderly and those who are mentally or physically disabled, from their door
to their seat on the vehicle. Drivers will not go into a home and cannot go to rooms of nursing
homes or hospitals due to time constraints and liability issues. Office hours are from 7:00 a.m. to
5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. After hours calls are forwarded to one of the contracted
carriers who have actual operations twenty-four hours per day.
All available funds will be used to carry out the mission of the Collier County Local
Coordinating Board, which is to carry out a coordinated and comprehensive approach to
planning, developing and providing transportation services that meet the needs of transportation
disadvantaged persons.
It is estimated that over 122,028 one-way trips will be provided during the current fiscal year.
Fares for the general public will be the same as other passenger fares. Fares for the paratransit
program are implemented as regulated by each funding source. ADA fares are set up at $2.00
per one-way trip, lower than allowed by regulations and based on Collier Area Transit's fixed
route bus fares. As mentioned above, service is managed by a contracted management company,
McDonald Transit Associates, Inc. service is provided by carriers under contract to McDonald
Transit using vehicles owned by the County and by the carriers.
Currently, the provider operates 14 routes and provides back up service with additional vehicles.
Collier Area Transit's fixed route operates nine routes, using 14 buses in peak service. Collier
Area Transit's paratransit program operates an average of 25 routes and or manifests each day;
using an average of 15 Collier County owned vehicles. The balance of the routes are operated
vehicles provided by private-for-profit providers.
All the maintenance of vehicles is performed by Collier County Fleet Management. Safety is a
primary concern of all transportation entities.
Our current vehicle inventory is supplied elsewhere in this grant application. As can be seen,
many of the vehicles presently in the Collier TD Fleet have high mileage on them. The CTC
would like to be able to replace three vehicles and expand the fleet by one vehicle.

EXHIBIT B: Proposed Project Description:
FTA - 5310
The Collier County Board of County Commissioners is requesting FT A Section 5310
funds in the amount of $253,600 (80%). State match funds in the amount of $31,700
(10%) will also be requested. This will be matched with local funds in the amount of
$31,700. Funds from this grant will be used to purchase replacement vehicles to continue
the existing level of service. 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.
The vehicles will be leased to providers under contract. Maintenance of these vehicles
will be performed by the Collier County Management Department.
Section 5310 funding for these vehicles is essential if service is to continue. Collier
County currently provides over $1,000,000 each year to provide paratransit service. The
current fleet of vehicles is inadequate due to their age and condition. If this grant is not
approved, Collier County may be forced to use some of the Local Operating funds to
purchase replacement vehicles. Collier Area Transit provides ADA, Medicaid, and
Transportation Disadvantaged, and agency funded paratransit trips for the at-risk
population of Collier County, including those with disabilities, low income, or the
elderly. Without 5310 funds for replacement vehicles, Collier County may have to
implement the prioritization of Transportation Disadvantaged paratransit trips as allowed
by the State of Florida Commission for the Transportation Disadvantaged. Trips would
be reduced and many passengers would not have access to recreational, medical,
shopping and other life sustaining transportation.
A Budget is provided elsewhere in the grant application.
