EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve an FY21/22 Federal Transit Administration Section 5311 Public
Transportation Grant Agreement for formula grants for rural areas in the amount of $1,314,864 to
provide transit service to the rural area of Collier County; approve a resolution authorizing the
Chair to sign the agreement and certifications and all necessary Budget Amendments. (Collier Area
Transit Grant Fund 424 and Collier Area Transit Match Fund 425)
OBJECTIVE: To provide continued transit service to the rural area of Collier County and safeguard the
use of local funding.
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 8, 2020, the Board of County Commissioners (Board) approved a Resolution for the
execution and submittal of an application for the FY2021-2022 FTA Section 5311 Grant. On April 27,
2021, 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 and 28 (providing
transportation between the Immokalee area and the Intermodal Transfer Station), Routes 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 and the Intermodal Transfer Station).
The amount of Federal funding available for FY2021/2022 is $657,432. A local match totaling $657,432
is included in the contract, bringing the current value to $1,314,864. Matching funds are available from
CAT Operating Fund (426). Staff received final agreement on December 10, 2021 and is attached to this
item for the Board’s consideration.
FISCAL IMPACT: This FTA Section 5311 Grant agreement provides for a total funding amount of
$1,314,864. The total funding is made up of Federal funds in the amount of $657,432 and a local match
in the amount of $657,432. A Budget Amendment is required in the amount of $657,432 to recognize
grant revenue in CAT Grant Fund (424) Project 33796. A Budget Amendment is also required to
recognize the local match in the amount of $657,432 to CAT Grant Match Fund (425), Project 33796.
Matching funds are available within the Collier Area Transit Enhancement Fund (426) supported by the
annual transfer of General Fund (001) revenue.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: This action is consistent with Objectives 10 and 12 of the
Transportation Element of the Growth Management Plan.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is approved for form and legality and requires majority vote
for Board action. -JAB
