Section 5310, CFDA 1, Formula Grants for the Enhanced Mobility of Seniors and Individuals with Disabilities Agency Name: Collier County Board of County Commissioners Capital Project Type(s): capita FDOT District: One 0,O 168 15 FTA Section 5310 Grant Application Introduction This instruction manual pertains to applications for Federal Transit Administration(FTA)assistance under49 U.S.C.5310,Formula Grants forthe Enhanced Mobility of Seniors and Individuals with Disabilities Program,as administered by the Florida Department of Transportation(FDOT):It contains program information and application instructions. The FTA's goal for the Section 5310 Program is to provide agencies with assistance in meeting the transportation needs of seniors and individuals with disabilities where public transit services are unavailable,insufficient,or inappropriate. Program Information &Instructions Program Administration The FTA allocates funds to the State of Florida each year for the Section 5310 Program.FOOT has been designated by the governor to administer the program for small urban and rural areas.Most large urbanized areas(population over 200,000 residents)have also selected FDOT to administer the program for their urbanized area. FOOT holds the following responsibilities but,at its discretion,may contract with a third party to provide these services: 1. Announcement of funding availability 2. Selection of projects for funding according to approved selection criteria 3. Development and processing of agreements 4. Oversight of recipient procurement actions 5. Oversight of recipient compliance with State and Federal requirements 6. Processing of recipient invoices for reimbursement 7. Provision of technical assistance regarding the Section 5310 Program Authorizing legislation for the Section 5310 program is shown in the glossary of this manual under"Authorizing Federal and State Legislation" Large Urbanized Areas,Small Urbanized Areas,and Rural Areas • Large urbanized areas are those with populations of 200,000 or more • Small urbanized areas are those with populations between 50,000 and 199,999 • Rural areas are those with populations below 50,000 Eligibility Criteria Eligibility Criteria are the minimum legal eligibility requirements for the Section 5310 Program.Applications must be for eligible services,service areas,recipients,and expenses, and provide evidence of local matching funds.Applicants must also ensure compliance with a number of other conditions placed on recipients of grants including but not limited to:coordination of transit services,civil rights preservation,vehicle maintenance requirements,compliance with safety and drug free workplace regulations,competitive procurement of goods and services purchased with grant funds,the Americans with Disabilities Act(ADA),and references to the Federal Transit Administration's(FTA)Master Agreement. Eligible Recipients For the Section 5310 Program,funds may be awarded to any of the following types of service providers: • States or localities(political subdivisions of the State of Florida)that provide transit service, • Public agency Community Transportation Coordinators(CTCs), • Private non-profit CTCs, • Private non-profit organizations providing transportation to seniors and/or persons with disabilities under a coordination agreement with the appropriate CTC(s). 16815 • When the CTC is a private for-profit agency,the designated official planning agency responsible for designating the CTC may apply for Section 5310 funds,and then sub-contract with the CTC for provision of service.Recipients must be either a CTC or an agency providing service under the terms of a written agreement with a CTC.Agencies must keep their CTC Agreements current and valid at all times when receiving an award under the Section 5310 Program,and until any vehicle(s)or equipment acquired through the 5310 program reaches the end of its useful life. • Private taxi companies that provide shared ride taxi service to the general public on a regular basis are operators of public transportation,and therefore are eligible sub recipients. • "Shared-ride"means two or more passengers in the same vehicle who are otherwise not traveling together.Like general public and ADA demand response service, every trip does not have to be shared-ride for a taxi company to be considered a shared-ride operator,but the general nature of the service must include shared rides. • Taxi companies that provide only exclusive-ride service are not eligible sub recipients;however,they may participate in the Section 5310 program as contractors. Exclusive-ride taxi companies may receive Section 5310 funds to purchase accessible taxis under contract with a state,designated recipient,or eligible sub recipient such as a local government or nonprofit organization. Section 5310 Applicant Pre-Screening Survey FDOT has created a questionnaire intended to help screen prospective Section 5310 recipients for eligibility.This 10-question survey utilizes the Microsoft Forms platform to help determine if an agency is eligible for Section 5310 funds.This can be a helpful tool for agencies that are unsure if their organization is eligible for 5310 funding.While the survey does not give you an automatic determination once the questionnaire is complete,contact your District office after submittal of the survey to obtain feedback on your agency's eligibility status. Section 5310 Eligibility Screening Questionnaire Application Deadlines: Application deadlines are FDOT District specific,but usually fall between December and February each year.Your local District Office will notify applicants of the annual application deadline.District Offices evaluate grant applications within their respective Districts and submit proposed Programs of Projects(POPs)to the FDOT Central Office by March of each year.The Central Office compiles POPs from the Districts and submits a statewide grant application for Federal funds to the FTA by April 1 of each year.FOOT anticipates FTA's approval of the statewide grant application(including district POPs)no earlier than July 1. The appropriation for State funds to match Federal funds is approved by the State Legislature for implementation on July 1 of each year.Once both Federal and State funds are available,Districts may make grant awards.At least 55%of the available funding statewide must be awarded to capital projects.The Department reserves the right to increase the minimum capital share up to 100%of funding,as deemed best suited to meet the mobility needs of seniors and individuals with disabilities where public transit services are unavailable,insufficient,or inappropriate. Legal Authority and Fiscal and Managerial Capability Section 5310 applicants must have the legal authority and fiscal and managerial capability to apply for Federal assistance.Applicants are required to have sufficient local funds to provide for match requirements,preventative maintenance,and operation of vehicles/equipment.Failure to properly manage,maintain,and operate vehicles and/or equipment could jeopardize existing and future grants and may result in the removal of vehicles and/or equipment.

Ali applicants must use the current year form and it must be the actual form from the FTA.This form cannot be an edited version of a prior year's forms or a recreation of the form.DO NOT copy Federal Certifications&Assurances ontoagency letterhead for signature,it will be returned to you and delay processing your grant request. 13-Title VI Plan(Required if not previously submitted to District) •If an applicant has not previously submitted their Title VI plan to the Department,a copy must be included with the application:Returning applicants may provide the Title VI Concurrence letter. co 1 6B 1 5 14-Protection of the Environment(Required if the proposed project is for facilities) Most transit projects funded under Section 5310 will be classified by FTA as categorical exclusions.Examples of categorical exclusions include purchase of transit vehicles,and purchase of office equipment.If the proposed project is for construction or acquisition of facilities or other buildings,further evaluation may be required before a determination can be made that the project is a categorical exclusion.A Categorical Exclusion(CE)is described in 40 Code of Federal Regulations(CFR)1508.4 and 23 CFR 771,as a project which,based upon experience with similar actions,does not individually or cumulatively have a significant environmental effect,and is excluded from the requirement to prepare an Environmental Assessment(EA)or an Environmental Impact Statement(EIS). Therefore,a project that qualifies as a CE generally requires a lower level of documentation.These projects do not bring significant impacts to planned growth or land use for the area;do not require the relocation of significant numbers of people;do not have a significant impact on any natural,cultural,recreational,historic,or other resources;do not involve significant air,noise,or water quality impacts;do not have significant impacts on travel patterns;and do not otherwise individually or cumulatively have any significant environmental impacts. Types of projects that have been determined by FTA to qualify as CEs,and normally do not require any further National Environmental Policy Act(NEPA)approvals by FTA,are listed in 23 CFR 771.118(c).Additional actions which meet the criteria for a CE but may designated as CEs only after ETA approval are listed in 23 CFR 771.118(d).In these cases,the applicant must submit documentation which demonstrates that the specific conditions or criteria for these CEs are satisfied and that significant environmental effects will not result.To meet the requirements of a CE determination,a proposed project may not be impermissibly segmented from a larger project.This means that a project may be proposed to be implemented in phases or as part of a larger undertaking,but must still demonstrate independent utility,connect logical termini,and should not restrict consideration of alternatives.In order to meet a CE designation,a proposed project cannot have substantial controversy on environmental grounds,or significant impact to properties protected by Section 4(f)of the US DOT Act(public park and recreation lands,wildlife and waterfowl refuges,and historic sites)or Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act(cultural resources including historic and archaeological sites).The presence of features such as wetlands and floodplains within the project area would likely also require additional documentation. The applicant should contact the Florida Department of Transportation(FDOT)District Office for assistance with determining the level of documentation required.The FDOT will use a description of the proposed project,along with any maps or figures to assist with determining if a proposed project is likely to meet FTA criteria for a CE.See the Resources tab for a link to the FTA Region 4 Categorical Exclusion checklist. 15-Local Clearinghouse Agency/RPC Cover Letter(Required if proposed project is for facilities) -If the grant application is for facilities,please include a copy of the cover letter submitted to the local clearinghouse agency or RPC. 16-Organization Chart-Upload a full organizational chart for your organization into TransClP as part of your application documents,this is required for all program applications regardless to type of project. 17-Proof of Local Match-Supporting documentation of match funds must be uploaded into TransClP.Proof may include,but is not limited to: (1) Transportation Disadvantaged(TD)allocation, (2) Letter on official letterhead from the applicant's CEO attesting to match availability and commitment, (3) Written statements from county commissions,state agencies,city managers,mayors,town councils,organizations,accounting firms and financial institutions. 18-Proof of Non-Profit Status-Upload proof of non-profit status(if a private-non-profit agency) 19-Certification of Incorporation-Provide if applicant is a private-non-profit agency.Please visit https//dos.myflorida.com/sunbiz/start-business/efile/fl-nonprofit corporation/for more information co � bb15 20-Completed Sample Order Form-To identify vehicle type and estimated cost visit http://tripsflorida.org/.NOTE:All vehicle requests must be supported with a completed sample order form for estimating the vehicle cost.The order form can be obtained from http://www.tripsflorida.org/contracts.html 1.�elect Desired Vehicle(Cutaway,Minibus etc.) 21Ehoose Vendor(use drop down arrow next tovendor name to see information) 3.3elect Order Packet 4.9omplete Exhibit A(Order Form) The Florida Department of Management Services Contract can be found at Florida Department of Management DMS(https://www.dms.myflorida.com/) 21-Transportation Operating Procedure(TOP)/System Safety Program Plan(SSPP)-Most FDOT subrecipients fall under the requirements of Florida Administrative Code Rule 14-90.Some recipients only receive grant awards through the Federal Transit Administration's Section5310 Program.The Transportation Operating Procedure(TOP) applies only to agencies receiving ONLY 5310 funds from FDOT/FTA.The TOP will include procedures related to maintenance,operations(Driver Training Policy),and safety.The agency's TOP will be subject to FDOT triennial review every 3 years(a template can be found within the FDOT State Management Plan). All returning subrecipients must include the most recent TOP in the application package if revisions were made.If no revisions were completed,the returning subrecipient should upload the TOP approval letter issued by the local FDOT District.If an applicant is a first-time applicant,then the applicant should upload a commitment letter stating that a compliant TOP will be developed will be developed prior to award;no official award will be made by FDOT until the applicant has a fully adopted and FDOT approved TOP.Upon request,FDOT will provide technical assistance concerning the development of a TOP. 22-Triennial Review-Closeout/Concurrence Letter or CAP-Required if the agency's latest Triennial Review included a CAP.The CAP is required once a deficiency and!or area of concern is identified after FDOT completes a triennial review and inspection.For more information see FDOT's Triennial Review Process as part of the State Management' Plan at https://www.fdot.gov/transit/currentpages/navigation/grantsadministration.shtm.

Approved by the Local Coordinating Board(LCB): CVLI.1/ Dylan Vogel,as Acting LCB Chair Date Approved by the Commission for the Transportation Disadvantaged(CTD): David Darm, Executive Director CTD Date TRANSPORTATION DISADVANTAGED SERVICE PLAN 0,..° 1 613 1 5 Development Plan Introduction to the Service Area Background of the Transportation Disadvantaged Program Florida's Transportation Disadvantaged (TD) program was created in 1979 and re-enacted in 1989. The 1989 act created the Florida Transportation Disadvantaged Commission (currently the Florida Commission for the Transportation Disadvantaged) to enhance local participation in the planning and delivery of coordinated transportation services through the creation of local coordinating boards (LCBs) and Community Transportation Coordinators (CTCs). Local planning organizations assist the Commission and Local Coordinating Boards (LCBs) in implementing the TD program in designated service areas. CTCs are business units or local public transportation providers that are responsible for providing or arranging the delivery of transportation services to the TD population.TD are"those persons who because of physical or mental disability, income status, or age are unable to transport themselves or purchase transportation and are, therefore, dependent on others to obtain access to health care, employment, education, shopping, social activities, or other life-sustaining activities or children who are handicapped or high-risk or at-risk as defined in s.411.202, Florida Statutes." Section 427.011, Florida Statutes. The designated CTC may provide all trips as a sole source, or the CTC may provide some trips and subcontract some (partial brokerage).The CTC may also function as a complete brokerage subcontracting all trips to approved operators. The Commission provides financial support to the CTCs utilizing the Transportation Disadvantaged Trust Fund. Funds are for the purpose of reimbursing the CTC for a portion of the cost of each passenger trip provided to eligible non-sponsored transportation disadvantaged individuals, or for equipment to be utilized in the designated service area. The Trust Fund is appropriated by the Legislature on an annual basis. The Commission then allocates a portion of the funds to each of Florida CTC utilizing a formula that considers the following: • Performance-passenger trips and passenger miles • Need—percent of the population that are seniors, persons with disabilities, or low income. • Equity—equal share to each county In its role as the Designated Official Planning Agency (DOPA), the Collier Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) is responsible for recommending a CTC for Collier County, which it first did in 1999 when it recommended that the Collier County Board of County Commissioners(BCC)serve as the CTC.The BCC accepted the recommendation in 1999 and in subsequent years. More recently, in March 2023, the Florida Commission for the Transportation Disadvantaged approved the Collier MPO's recommendation to re-designate the Collier BCC as the CTC for the period July 1, 2023,through June 30, 2028. CTC Designation and History In August 1999,the Board of County Commissioners adopted the Public Transportation Development Plan (PTDP)and agreed to become the governing agency for transit in Collier County.The Public Transportation TRANSPORTATION DISADVANTAGED SERVICE PLAN } t!.sO 1 .6B 1 5 Operating Plan (PTOP) was adopted by the MPO in December 2000 and by the Collier County Board of County Commissioners in January 2001. At the time of its governing agency designation (by what was then known as the Naples MPO), transportation services in Collier County consisted of privately operated trolleys that catered to tourists during the winter season in Naples and Marco Island and a network of paratransit providers serving the transportation disadvantaged. The County introduced its first fixed route service in 2001 and currently operates 16 fixed routes, Americans with Disabilities (ADA) paratransit, and TD services. As previously described,The Collier County BCC has served as the CTC for Collier County since it became the transit agency governing body in 1999.Working on behalf of the BCC,the Collier County Public Transit and Neighborhood Enhancement Division manages and coordinates all operational services. Organizational Chart Figure 1 on the following page displays the organizational structure of the entities involved in the delivery of TD services in Collier County.

TRANSPORTATION DISADVANTAGED SERVICE PLAN I�5 Qs. 1 6B 1 5 Service Area Profile/Demographics Collier County is located on the west coast of Florida. It is bordered by Broward and Dade Counties to the East, Lee,and Hendry Counties to the North, and Monroe County to the South.As measured by land area, Collier County is the largest County in Florida and the 18th largest by total population. Naples, Everglades City,and Marco Island are the County's three incorporated areas. Land Use As shown in the green areas in Figure 2 below, a significant portion of Collier County is protected conservation land, the largest area being Big Cypress National Preserve. As a result, commercial and residential development is generally located along the coastline,in the Northwestern,and Central Western portions of the County, while much of the North Central area surrounding Immokalee is designated agricultural. Dense environments such as those seen in Western Collier County are generally conducive to the provision of public transportation services. The desirability of these coastal locations has increased housing prices forcing many residents to live further from employment, healthcare, and other services,which strains the County's transportation systems.

The top industry sectors in Collier County are professional and business service,trade/transportation/utilities, and financial activities which include approximately 25.4, 15.1, and 14.1 percent respectively for the employment of Collier County's residents. An increasing demand during the seasonal months in Collier County can prove to become challenging to meet the mobility needs of many residents that depend on the hospitality and retail sectors. These sectors often experience a surge due to the increasing demand as part-time residents of Collier County return during this period. Similarly, workers in the healthcare and education sector often travel during off-peak hours to widely dispersed locations. For example, Collier County's fourth largest employer, Collier County School District, has approximately 73 Schools dispersed around the County.

TRANSPORTATION DISADVANTAGED SERVICE PLAN IeiN I6B15 Housing Classification and Patterns As previously described, a large portion of Collier County consists of protected land,so housing has largely been concentrated in the area west of Collier Blvd (CR 951) until recently. Growth is occurring more rapidly in the area east of Collier Blvd, including Golden Gate Estates,Ave Maria,and the Rural Lands Stewardship Area, where housing costs are lower but remain unaffordable for many residents. Employment remains concentrated west of Collier Blvd. Due to the desirability of coastal property, land values, and high housing costs continue to pose a challenge to area employers who report difficulty hiring and retaining employees due to a lack of affordable housing in the area. A 2017 study by the Urban Land Institute (ULI) and the County's 2017 Community Housing Plan reported that two out of five households in Collier County were cost-burdened (paying more than 30% of income toward housing) and one out of five were severely cost burdened (pay more than 50% of income toward housing). Neither the 2017 ULI study nor the County's 2017 Community Housing Plan has been updated; however, there is a growing awareness that the lack of affordable housing in the region has worsened since the height of the COVID- 19 pandemic(2019-2021)and housing costs have increased following the devastation caused by Hurricane Ian in 2022. The lack of affordable housing impacts a significant number of the County's employees, including those in public safety, health care,education,service workers,and entry/mid-level professionals. Also of significant concern are residents who are low to moderate-income seniors, and very low-income (transportation disadvantaged) residents, many of whom are particularly reliant on public transportation for access to health care and other life-sustaining activities. Education Profiles In addition to Collier County colleges and universities listed in Table 7 below, there are several technical training institutions and programs that feature curriculums focused on a specialization ranging from aerospace, computer science, early childhood education, auto repair, and accounting to name a few. Technical training is available at Lorenzo Walker Technical College located in Naples and the northern part of the county is served by Bethune Education Center and Immokalee Technical College.

It is estimated that approximately 64 percent of the County's commuters travel less than 30 minutes to work as compared to the state estimates of 57 percent. Only 36 percent of Collier County residents have commutes of more than 45 minutes as compared to 42.6 percent across Florida as shown in Table 10.

Slightly fewer commuters in Collier County choose to drive alone to work than the state average of 74.8 percent rather compared to 76.1 percent. Collier County had more individuals that carpool/vanpool by 2.2 percent compared to the TRANSPORTATION DISADVANTAGED SERVICE PLAN I4!�C-' 1 6 B 15 state average. In comparison to the 2012-2016 5-year estimates, Collier County commuters utilized public transportation less by two percent and it is currently the most underutilized mode of transportation as shown in the table below. The decline coincides with the COVID pandemic, during which public transportation ridership declined nationally and working from home became more prevalent. Collier County experienced a 2.9 percent increase in the number of workers who reported working from home in 2021 compared to the 7.3 percent of workers in the 2012-2016 timeframe.

To this day, agriculture and resort/tourism activities continue to play an important role in the County's economy.Over one-third of the nation's tomatoes are grown in Immokalee,as well as significant amounts of other vegetables and citrus.The western portion of the County, commonly referred to as the Paradise Coast, is known for its beautiful beaches and artistic and cultural activities making it a popular vacation destination. TRANSPORTATION DISADVANTAGED SERVICE PLAN 1et,*0 16B 15 Government and Institutional Descriptions Collier County is governed by a Board of County Commissioners consisting of five elected officials. It is one of the largest counties in Florida with three incorporated cities including the City of Naples, Marco Island, and Everglades City.

In late 2015,the County became the second County in Florida to eliminate its "vehicle for hire" regulations. As a result, Collier County no longer issues licenses to transportation companies, allowing anyone with a driver's license to operate vehicles for hire, which effectively opened the door for ridesharing companies such as Uber and Lyft to offer for-hire services. Due to the deregulation and the proprietary nature of transportation network company data, it is impossible to estimate the total number of private providers operating "public" transportation in the County. In addition to the identified private transportation providers, however,there are many known transportation providers (primarily private non-profits) that operate services specifically for their clients, who in many cases, are transportation-disadvantaged individuals. Examples include: • United Way • National Runaway Switchboard • Catholic Charities • Seniors Helping Seniors of Southwest Florida • St.Vincent de Paul Society • Sunrise of Southwest Florida • Easter Seals Florida, Inc. • Collier County Veterans Services • Hope Health Care • David Lawrence Center • The Salvation Army • Boys & Girls Club of Collier County Beginning in 2012, Medical Transportation Management, Inc. (MTM) began management of Non- Emergency Medical Transportation (NEMT) for the state's Medicaid program in Collier County. MTM coordinates transportation to and from medical appointments for Collier County residents who rely on the service. Sponsored by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), Commute Connector is the coordinator of a variety of programs and services to assist commuters who travel to,from, and within Collier County. Although not a direct operator of transportation services, Commute Connector conducts employer and individual outreach to help inform individuals about available transit options, provides carpool and vanpool formation assistance, and incentivizes the use of alternative mode options by offering an Emergency Ride Home Program. Service Analysis CTD Trend Analysis A trend comparison was completed to compare the performance of CAT Connect, Collier County's paratransit Service,over the last five years of operation.The trend comparison analyzed data for the Fiscal Years 2018-2022.Table 14 shows the performance indicators and measures for each of the five fiscal years. This trend analysis represents a combined set of statistics for all TD transportation services coordinated through the CTC, including TD and paratransit services. The source for each of these data sets is the TRANSPORTATION DISADVANTAGED SERVICE PLAN I et„0 16B15 Annual Operating Reports released by the Commission for Transportation Disadvantaged.

CAT Connect struggled with operational issues in 2021 due mostly to driver shortage issues. Operator wages were increased, and more staff was hired to provide services and increase capacity as ridership increased to nearly pre-pandemic levels in 2022.Accidents per 100,000 miles slightly exceeded the annual target of 1.2 in 2022, with an estimated 1.36 per 100,000 miles.

In addition to a comparison of demographic characteristics, the review compared performance measures within the Transportation Disadvantaged Program. Collier County's peers were selected based on similarities in the following four categories: • System size(measured in terms of annual TD ridership and number of TD passengers served) • Operating environment (urban service area designation) • Organization type (county government) • Network type (partial brokerage or complete brokerage) The six counties that were selected for the CTC peer review were Bay, Charlotte, Escambia, Manatee, Okaloosa, and Pasco Counties.Although these CTCs are not identical to Collier Area Transit,they generally share similar demographics and systemic characteristics and are operated by county governments in urban services areas as shown in Table 15.

Collier County is below the average in the number of individuals below the poverty level and percent of households with no access to a vehicle. When reviewing the data and comparing Collier County to its peers, it is important to consider the population density is significantly less compared to the group of peer counties. This could significantly affect the relative efficiency of the system due to trips of greater distances for fewer individuals.

Table 19 shows that Collier County has 7 percent fewer vehicles than its peer systems and is significantly higher than the average of the peer group for the number of passenger trips. Collier County remains to have averages higher than its peers for the total vehicle and revenue miles.With Collier County being one of the larger counties in the state of Florida it can be expected that Collier County would average 15.5 percent more miles traveled per trip than its respective peer systems. Collier County was 17.5 and 9.7 percent higher than its peers for cost per paratransit and cost per total mile respectively.Additionally, Collier County was also higher than the peer CTC in the accidents per 100,00 vehicle miles by 44.2 percent.

As compared to the average of other Florida counties, Collier County also has approximately 11 percent more residents ages 65 years and older(with a corresponding rate of disabilities).With the population increases and the demographic characteristics of the current population, the "potential" annual demand for transportation disadvantages services is estimated to increase by approximately 137,000 annual trips over the next five years(from 1,517,410 in 2023 to 1,653,937 in 2028) as described in the TD population forecasting section. Historically, public transportation funding in Collier County has remained relatively constant and while there are no firm future commitments from its funding partners CAT anticipates it will be able to maintain existing levels of service with only minor planning and capital improvements possible. Following input received from public, private, human service, and nonprofit transportation providers and public stakeholders, projects that will directly benefit the transportation disadvantaged have been TRANSPORTATION DISADVANTAGED SERVICE PLAN Ie,$) 16815 identified as priorities if additional funding becomes available are shown below. Additional details on estimated project costs and associated initiatives are described in the implementation schedule section of this report. 1) Secure funds necessary for vehicle replacement and expansion 2) Enhance accessibility to bus stops to meet Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements. 3) Construct bus shelters & amenities (bike rack, bench,trash can, etc.) 4) Extend Service Hours on existing routes 5) Reduce headways on select routes 6) Implement new Collier County Lee/Collier Inter-County Connection Forecasts of the Transportation Disadvantaged Population Forecasts of the TD population are required by the CTD for major TDSP updates.The CTD recommends a tool developed for the CTD in 2015 that utilizes data from a variety of the most currently available sources to predict demand in the future. Data from the U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey (ACS) and the Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP), The Bureau of Economic and Business Research County Population Projections, and the National Household Travel Survey and fixed route bus coverage are examples of the data utilized. These sources help capture economic trends, population growth, and the changing demographic composition of the population such as aging baby boomers and the associated increases in disabilities. It is important to note the tool only quantifies potential TD demand in the geography analyzed and trends in potential utilization over time. Other factors such as the quality of available transportation services or other unique community characteristics may impact actual service utilization. Some who qualify for TD services may find it preferrable to rely on family or friends for transportation needs,as opposed to relying on public transportation. The relative affluence of Collier County's residents, as another example, may mean that actual demand may be lower than potential demand.Senior citizens who qualify for TD services based on their age may be able to afford other transportation alternatives such as taxis as compared to residents of another county with a senior population of similar size that is less affluent. Following is a summary of several of the key factors and data analysis steps used to arrive at the TD demand estimates for Collier County. Utilizing the 2021 U.S Census American Community Survey information (the most current data available) the population estimates for the TD population are shown below in Table 20. As defined by the CTD,the category I TD Population consists of all disabled, elderly, low-income,and children who are high risk or at risk.

Low-income Figure 28:Category I TD Composition Ideally, comparisons of disability estimates should be made using the same survey information, geographic parameters, and disability definitions. Because the severity of an individual's disability is not captured in the ACS data, particularly as it relates to the need for specialized transportation,the 2020 U.S. Census Bureau's SIPP is used for the next step in the demand estimates. The rates for those who report a severe disability, or those who have a "critical need" for transportation based on their disability status, are applied to the disability rates reported in the ACS as shown below.

The forecasting spreadsheet tool requires input of various data such as population data from the serviced area,operating days for the fixed route transit service, and the percent transit coverage of the selected service area. To forecast the TD population for Collier County the following assumptions were made: 1. Last year of census data used: 2021 U.S Census American Community Survey 5-year Estimates 2. Percentage of population that has access to fixed route transit: 81 Percent 3. The number of annual service days: 365 days To determine the percentage of the Collier County population that has access to fixed route transit the following method was performed. Utilizing ArcGIS software, a map was created by uploading Collier County's Population TAZ data and using this as the base layer for the map. In addition to the population layer, CAT's fixed route transit system shape file was obtained through FDOT's TBEST Program.The file had included the transit routes and stops for the fixed route system. Once the following two layers were uploaded into the map the fixed route transit layer was then overlayed over the population layer and buffered 0.75 miles. By buffering the Transit routes three quarters of a mile this is assuming the population that falls inside that boundary has access as the outside does not to the fixed transit routes and therefore will not be considered.The described steps outlined above are displayed below in Figure 29. TRANSPORTATION DISADVANTAGED SERVICE PLAN lQs. 16B15 �+ L .j" - Figure 29:GIS map showing population and buffered fixed routes To now determine the percentage of the population to whom had access the following steps were taken. By using the Geoprocessing tool "Clip" in ArcGIS the buffer zone layer which was just created in the last step was now clipped from the population layer which removed all other population data from the overall map that lied outside the buffer layer boundary. The following steps described are displayed below in Figure 30. TRANSPORTATION DISADVANTAGED SERVICE PLAN 1 6B 1 5 1 , 11 .,, g r Ifi ; Figure 30:GIS map showing clipped area of population inside buffered zone Lastly,with the map completed it was now able to determine the percentage of population that had access to the fixed rout transit in Collier County. The residential household population in Collier County per the Population TAZ shape file that was implemented recorded 368,989 residents as seen in Figure 31. The recorded amount of Collier County residents within the 0.75-mile boundary that was created was determined to be 300,390 residents as shown in Figure 32.

Once these three assumptions were made and the required population data had been input into the forecasting spreadsheet tool,the following estimates were produced and are displayed in Tables 20-23. Barriers to Coordination Like other agencies across the state and throughout the nation, limited resources (both personnel and financial) pose significant challenges to transportation providers. In Collier County, the large size and diversity of the County further exasperates these challenges. TRANSPORTATION DISADVANTAGED SERVICE PLAN 16B 1 5 The lack of affordable housing near employment opportunities and other essential services results in the need for more geographically dispersed and more costly public transportation services. Transportation providers must strike a careful balance between implementing enhancements to core services which may be more financially productive versus providing life sustaining services for the transportation disadvantaged who often live in different political jurisdictions outside core service areas. The Collier MPO is responsible for coordinating multimodal transportation planning across jurisdictional boundaries through the development of the Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) and other associated plans and studies. In the face of declining state and federal revenues,the challenge is even greater. Collier County contributes a significant amount of local funding towards meeting the demand for new roads, capacity improvements on existing facilities and supporting public transit and paratransit services. The size of Collier County contributes to geographic dispersion, demographic diversity, and public engagement challenges as well. Overcoming these barriers demands a collaborative approach involving local authorities, public agencies, community organizations, and stakeholders to develop innovative strategies that enhance accessibility, bridge service gaps, and ensure equitable transportation options for all residents in Collier County. Goals,Objectives,and Strategies CAT's mission is to provide safe,accessible,and courteous public transportation services to our customers. The mission of the newly rebranded CAT Connect(formerly known as Collier Area Paratransit) is to identify and safely meet the transportation needs of Collier County, through a courteous, dependable, cost- effective, and environmentally sound team commitment. The following goals and objectives have been adopted to further the missions above. GOAL 1: Implement a fully coordinated transportation system.

The hours of operation for fixed route service vary by route, but some routes start as early as approximately 4:00 a.m. and end as late as 8:00 p.m. Reservations can be made for CAT Connect between the hours of 8:00 a.m.and 5:00 p.m. Monday through Saturday. Same-day service is not available, but trips may be scheduled up to two weeks in advance,or as late as 5:00 p.m. the day before service is needed. CAT Connect drivers are trained to help those who require assistance to and from the vehicle. They will not enter a person's home or a person's room at a living facility, nor will they go above the first floor of a multi-family residence. Subscription paratransit service is available when a customer regularly travels to and from the same destination two or more times per week and group trips(four or more passengers with the same trip origin or destination) are provided at a reduced rate. Eligibility CAT Connect is designed to serve those who have no other means of transportation and qualify as ADA eligible (those with a physical or mental impairment that prevents the use of the fixed route bus service) or Transportation Disadvantaged (individuals who because of a mental or physical impairment, income status or age are unable to transport themselves). CAT Connect is operated during the same hours as the fixed route service. Those with an origin and destination within three-quarters of a mile of a CAT fixed route are eligible for ADA services and those with an origin or destination outside of the ADA service area may be eligible for Transportation (TD)services. Accessing Services To obtain an application, schedule a trip, or any other questions customers may contact CAT Connect Monday through Saturday between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. by calling (239) 252-7272, 239-252-7777 or 1-(800) 550-9348 or online at https://www.ridecat.com/paratransit/about-catconnect. Customers may also visit the centers at CAT Connect Customer Service, 8300 Radio Road Naples, FL 34104, or the Collier Area Transit Intermodal Transfer Station at the Government Center located at 3355 East Tamiami Trail Naples, FL 34112. Florida Relay for ASCII callers can be accessed by calling 1(800)955-1339. Eligible riders may schedule a trip on the Paratransit system by downloading the new rideCATconnect app (as of March 1, 2022) or by calling the CAT Connect office at 239.252.7272, Monday through Saturday, TRANSPORTATION DISADVANTAGED SERVICE PLAN I54P+° 16B 1 5 8:00am until 5:00pm. If calling after hours, on the weekend and/or on a holiday, please follow voice mail instructions and leave your name and trip information on the voice mail. Someone will return your call to confirm your reservation. Passengers approved for Paratransit service are required to book their reservation (through the app or by phone) no later than the day before the requested trip, or up to two weeks in advance. Same day service is not available. It is permissible under ADA regulations for reservations staff to negotiate the requested pick-up time within a one-hour window before or after the passenger's requested pick-up time. For TD trips, due to the size of the County,the pick-up time may be within a two-hour window before or after the passenger's requested pick-up time. CAT Connect understands that because paratransit service requires trips to be scheduled in advance, passengers may have to reschedule or cancel a trip. CAT Connect understands that passengers may sometimes miss scheduled trips or timely cancel trips for reasons that are beyond their control. However, to maintain an efficient system, a policy for managing passengers who repeatedly miss scheduled trips or fail to timely cancel trips has been developed. This policy has been developed with consideration to the frequency of use by passengers and the no-show/late cancellation system average. The following information explains CAT Connect's no-show policy. Definitions No-show A no-show is defined as the failure of a passenger to appear to board the vehicle for a scheduled trip.This presumes the vehicle arrives at the prescribed pick-up location within the pick-up time and the passenger is not present for the appointment or fails to respond within five (5) minutes of the vehicle's arrival time within the 30-minute pick up window. Late Cancellation A late cancellation is defined as failure to cancel a trip 2 hours or more before the scheduled pick-up time, including a cancellation made at the door(a refusal to board a vehicle that has arrived within the pick-up window). No-Shows Due to Operator Error or to Circumstances beyond a Rider's Control Passengers will not be assessed a no-show or late cancellation when it has been found that the missed trips occurred due to an error of CAT Connect personnel. These types of errors include: • Trips placed on the schedule in error • Pick-ups scheduled at the wrong pick-up location • Drivers arriving and departing before the pick-up window begins • Drivers arriving late(after the end of the pick-up window) • Drivers arriving within the pick-up window, but departing without waiting the required 5 minutes Trips that are missed due to situations beyond a passenger's control that may prevent a timely notification are not counted towards no-shows or cancellations. The following are examples of such situations: • Medical emergency TRANSPORTATION DISADVANTAGED SERVICE PLAN I tI0 1 68 1 5 • Family emergency • Sudden illness or change in condition Passengers are encouraged to contact a CAT Connect Customer Service Representative to inform them of these situations regardless of the time of the notification so that the excused missed trip can be appropriately recorded. Policy for Handling Subsequent Trips Following No-shows When a passenger fails to show up for a scheduled trip,the driver should radio dispatch and advise them of the no-show. Dispatch attempts to call the passenger and reminds the driver to wait five (5) minutes to ensure that the passenger will not be present. The no-show is recorded in the system and any return trip for the same day that was scheduled is also canceled unless the passenger calls to indicate that the return trip should not be canceled. The courtesy cancellation of the return trip is performed to avoid charging the passenger multiple no-shows on the same day and increasing the no-show trip count. Passengers are strongly encouraged to cancel any subsequent trips they no longer need. A confirmation number will be provided with all cancellations and passengers are encouraged to retain the confirmation number for verification of their call. Suspension Policies for a Pattern or Practice of Excessive No-shows and Late Cancellations CAT Connect reviews all recorded no-shows and late cancellations to ensure accuracy before recording them in a passenger's account. Each verified no-show or late cancellation consistent with the above definitions counts as one penalty point. Passengers will be subject to suspension after they meet all the following conditions: • Accumulate three penalty points in a six (6) calendar month period (January to June & June to December) • Have"no-showed"or"late canceled" at least five percent of the passenger's booked trips for the month. A passenger will be subject to suspension only if both the number of penalty points is reached and the percentage of trips deemed no-shows is met. CAT Connect will notify passengers by telephone after they have accumulated one penalty point and they will be advised that they are subject to suspension should they accumulate two additional penalty points within the six(6) month period consistent with the criteria listed in this section of the policy above. All suspension notices include a copy of this policy and a grievance/appeal policy that details how to appeal suspensions. Suspensions begin five days after the decision has been determined, ensuring the passenger is notified by telephone and letter. Suspensions will be held in abeyance if the passenger timely files an appeal of the suspension. The first violation in a calendar month triggers a warning telephone call but no suspension. Subsequent violations result in the following suspensions: • Second violation:Second warning letter and phone call • Third violation: [7-day] suspension; Notification will be by telephone and letter • Third violation: [14-day] suspension; Notification will be by telephone and letter TRANSPORTATION DISADVANTAGED SERVICE PLAN I es° 16B15 • Fourth violation and subsequent violations: [30-day]suspension;Notification will be by telephone and letter Each letter will specify the basis of the proposed penalty(e.g., Mr. Smith scheduled trips for 8:00 a.m. on May 15th, 2:00 p.m. on June 3`d, 9:00 a.m. on June 215Y, and 9:20 p.m. on July 10th, and on each occasion, the vehicle appeared at the scheduled time and Mr. Smith was nowhere to be found) and set forth the proposed suspension (e.g., Mr. Smith would not receive service for 14 days). Policy for Disputing Specific No-Shows or Late Cancellations Passengers wishing to dispute specific no-shows or late cancellations must do so within five business days of receiving a phone call or letter. Passengers should contact the CAT Connect operations center at 239- 252-7272, Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. to explain the circumstance and request the removal of the no-show or late cancellation. Policy for Appealing Proposed Suspensions Passengers wishing to appeal suspensions under this policy have the right to file an appeal request,which must be in writing by letter or via email. Passengers must submit written appeal requests within 15 business days of the date of the suspension letters. Passengers who miss the appeal request deadline will be suspended from CAT Connect on the date listed on the suspension notice. All suspension appeals follow the CAT Connect grievance/appeal policy. Trip Prioritization Trips funded by the TD Trust fund are prioritized based on the Local Coordinating Board's policy.Trips are based on trip efficiency, seating availability, and funding availability. As shown below, medical trips have the highest priority followed by employment and educational trips. Recreational trips will be accommodated when possible. Priority 1—Medical Priority 2—Employment Priority 3—Education Priority 4—Social (agency-related activities) Priority 5- Nutritional Priority 6—Group Recreation Priority 7—Personal Business ADA trips are provided without prioritization and cannot be denied. Additionally, trips that are provided through the Federal Transit Administration's Section 5311 funding program must be open to the public and may not be prioritized. Transportation Operators and Coordination Contractors At the time of this TDSP Major Update,Collier County is under contract with MV Transportation to provide operations and administrative services for its fixed route and paratransit system as shown in Table 25.

Table 27:Fixed Route Ridership Fixed Route Ridership FY 2018-FY2022 FY18 838,676 FY19 805,336 FY20 642,428 FY21 574,101 FY22 662,396 School Bus Utilizations No School Buses are utilized in the coordinated system Vehicle Inventory An inventory of CAT's paratransit fleet is included in Appendix C. The inventory identifies vehicle type, model year, accessibility features, and mileage. FDOT policy stipulates that vehicles are eligible for replacement based on both the useful life in years and the useful life in miles unless there is a compelling reason to replace the vehicle earlier due to excessive maintenance costs or other special circumstances. CAT plans for its future replacement needs, future mileage projections, anticipated vehicle delivery dates, and funding availability will need to be carefully estimated to determine when vehicles will be eligible for replacement based on the new policy. System Safety Plan Certification CAT's System Safety Plan Certification is included in Appendix D. Inter-County Services Introduced in 2011, CAT's LinC route provides inter-county service between Collier and Lee Counties. Due to its success,a secondary route inter-county connection has been identified by the Collier MPO as one of its unfunded priorities. A Regional Service and Regional Fare Study is underway to evaluate the prospect of implementing additional regional bus service between Collier and Lee County. The study is expected to be completed in the first half of 2024. Emergency Preparedness and Response CAT is identified as a responsible agency in the Collier County Comprehensive Emergency Management Plan (CEMP). The plan is designed to provide a framework through which Collier County may prevent or mitigate the impacts of, prepare for, respond to, and recover from natural, manmade, and technological hazards that could adversely affect the health, safety, and general welfare of residents and visitors to the County. Additionally, this plan establishes the National Incident Management System (NIMS) as the TRANSPORTATION DISADVANTAGED SERVICE PLAN Iep+0 16B15 standard for tasked agencies to use in responding to emergency events. The CEMP was approved by the Florida Division of Emergency Management and complies with Homeland Security Presidential Directives. Education Efforts/Marketing CAT actively markets its programs and services on social media such as X (formally known as Twitter), Facebook, and lnstagram and at a variety of local community events. Recent examples include Paw Pass promotions, offering students unlimited rides throughout the summer. A Seasonal Beach Bus service has been implemented. CAT presented for the local 4H Club with "Know Your County Government," aimed at increasing awareness and understanding of local government processes. Lastly, a county-wide Try Transit Day was organized, providing free rides to residents for a day in April. Service Standards To assess quality assurance for the delivery of transportation services,the Local Coordinating Board utilizes the following services standards that form the basis for the annual review of the Community Transportation Coordinator (CTC). These standards are consistent with Section 41-2.006 Florida Administrative Code and the Code of Federal Regulation. • Drug and alcohol program — CAT complies with applicable Federal Transit Administration requirements for all individuals in safety-sensitive positions. In addition, CAT maintains a Drug- Free Workplace policy. • Escorts and children — Personal care attendants must be approved on the initial customer application with medical documentation for the reason an attendant is needed. If an escort/personal care attendant is requested,they will be transported at no additional charge. • Child restraints—Restraints are required for children under 5 and/or under 50 lbs. • Rider property — Passengers are allowed to bring up to four shopping bags that fit under the passenger's seat and/or on their lap. • Vehicle transfer points—Vehicle transfer points will be in safe and secure locations. Riders have the right to vehicle transfer points that are sheltered, secure, and safe. • Local toll-free number for consumer comments—The local toll-free number for complaints is 1- 800-550-9348.The number is posted in all paratransit vehicles. If a complaint cannot be resolved locally, individuals have the option to contact the statewide Transportation Disadvantaged Ombudsman Hotline at 1-800-983-2435. • Vehicle Cleanliness — All vehicles shall be free from dirt, grime, oil, trash, torn upholstery, damaged or broken seats, protruding metal, or other objects or materials that could soil items placed in the vehicle or provide discomfort for the passenger. All vehicles are cleaned (interior and exterior) on a regular schedule. • Billing requirements — All payments to transportation subcontractors will be made in a timely manner pursuant to Florida Statutes.All bills shall be paid within 7 working days to subcontractors after receipt of said payment by the CTC in accordance with Section 287.0585, Florida Statutes. TRANSPORTATION DISADVANTAGED SERVICE PLAN lf9�g, 16B 1 5 • Rider/trip data—The CTC management entity will collect and store in a database the name, phone number, address,funding source, eligibility, and special requirements of each passenger. • Seating-Vehicle seating will not exceed the manufacturer's recommended capacity. • Driver Identification - Drivers are required to announce and identify themselves by name and company in a manner that is conducive to communications with specific passengers, except in situations where the driver regularly transports the rider on a recurring basis. All drivers are to have a name badge always displayed when transporting passengers. • Passenger Loading Assistance-All drivers shall provide the passenger with boarding assistance, if necessary or requested,to the seating portion of the vehicle.The boarding assistance shall include opening the vehicle door,fastening the seat belt or utilization of wheelchair securement devices, storage of mobility assistive devices, and closing the vehicle door. Passengers,especially frail and elderly and/or disabled,shall be assisted from the door of their pick-up point to the door of their destination. Other assistance may be provided except in situations in which providing assistance would not be safe for passengers remaining in the vehicle. Assisted access must be in a dignified manner. Drivers may not assist passengers in wheelchairs more than one step up or down. • Smoking, Drinking, and Eating - There will be no smoking on any vehicles in the coordinated system. Eating and drinking on board the vehicle is prohibited. Exceptions are permitted when required due to an existing medical condition. • Passenger No-Shows-All scheduled trips(reservations) must be canceled at least 2 hours prior to the scheduled trip to avoid being deemed a "no show". Passengers are not responsible for "no- shows" due to sudden illness, family or personal emergency, transit connection or appointment delays, extreme weather conditions, operator error, or other unforeseen reasons for which it is not possible to call to cancel or take the trip as scheduled. Late Cancellations and/or No Shows may result in suspension of service. Passengers will be notified of every "no-show" violation in writing. If a passenger receives notice of a no-show violation that proposes a suspension of service, the written notification shall also outline the passenger's right to appeal the imposition of that sanction. All penalties reset after one year from the initial no-show violation. • Communication Equipment-All vehicles will be equipped with two-way communication devices. • Vehicle Air Conditioning and Heating Equipment-All vehicles in the coordinated system shall have working air conditioning and heating. Vehicles that do not have a working air conditioner and/or heater will be scheduled for repair or replacement within five days. Should a vehicle incur a problem, it will be repaired as soon as possible. The owner/operator is responsible for its repair. The priority is that the CTC provides transportation. If a vehicle's air conditioning or heating is not functioning properly, and, if there are no other vehicles available, the passengers will be transported, rather than canceling a trip. Passengers with health conditions affected by air conditioning or lack thereof will be notified if their vehicle's air conditioning is not working, and the passenger will be given an opportunity to decide whether to take the trip. • First Aid Policy- Drivers are certified in first aid on an annual basis. TRANSPORTATION DISADVANTAGED SERVICE PLAN let.° 16B15 • Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR)- Drivers are certified in CPR every two years (biennial). • Driver Background Checks - All drivers in the coordinated system must have a "favorable" background check from the Florida Department of Law Enforcement ("favorable" as defined by the Department of Children and Families policies and procedures). • Public Transit Ridership - Using a single centralized operation for CTC and fixed route service, coordinated trips will be referred to the fixed route when accessible rather than placed into the CTC paratransit system. • The CTC will continue to market and encourage the use of bus passes, by individuals and agencies that sponsor trips. It will also measure the use of each pass per month. • Pick-Up Window- Passengers are not given a set pick-up time. Instead,they are told to be ready for their ride to arrive from between one to two hours before their appointment time. This window is dependent on the service area of the pick-up and drop-off points. Travel times are determined by the length of the trip.Travel times are as follows: 9 miles or less is approximately 60-minute travel time, 9-18 miles is approximately 75-minute travel time, and 18 miles or longer is approximately 120-minute travel time. The CTC may negotiate special pick-up arrangements with the customer, in advance, as the situation dictates. These arrangements shall be documented and maintained on file to distinguish these trips from regularly scheduled trips for determining on-time performance. Medical appointments and employment must follow the "30 minutes early to zero minutes late" policy.All other trips are considered on time if they arrive one minute before or one minute after the scheduled time. Four(4) or more passengers dropped-off and/or picked up at the same location constitute a group trip. The CTC may negotiate special arrangements with the customer or agency, in advance, for a group trip. These special arrangements will be documented and evaluated separately for on-time performance. Every effort will be made by the CTC to keep the ride times within the service window for these trips. • All return trips are also scheduled in advance. The pick-up process for return trips is the same as the originating trip. Depending on the location, the window may be one or two hours. General expectations are that travel within a single service area will follow the travel time windows.Travel times are determined by the length of the trip. Travel times are as follows: 9 miles or less is approximately 60-minute travel time, 9-18 miles is approximately 75-minute travel time, and 18 miles or longer is approximately 120 minute travel time. • On-time Performance-The CTC will have a 90%on-time performance rate for all completed trips including both pick-ups and drop-offs. The CTC will report on-time performance at all LCB meetings. • Advance Reservations - Reservations are made a day in advance up to 5 p.m. the business day prior to the trip request. Passengers with an urgent need to travel should call the CTC. Unless other regulations are applicable,same-day trip requests cannot be guaranteed. However,the CTC will attempt to accommodate the request. • Accidents-There should be no more than 1.2 accidents per 100,000 miles. TRANSPORTATION DISADVANTAGED SERVICE PLAN Ie ,,0 16B15 • Road Calls-There should be no less than 10,000 miles between each road call. • Call-Hold -All calls shall be answered within three rings, and the maximum hold time shall be two minutes.The standards listed below are locally developed standards,in addition to those required by Section 41-2.006, Florida Administrative Code. • Driver Training - All operators, supervisors, and safety-sensitive positions shall receive drug and alcohol safety training. Additional training shall consist of driver safety, passenger relations, wheelchair security, CPR, fire safety, and other topics, as deemed necessary. At a minimum, passenger relations and driver safety training shall be conducted annually. All drivers will be annually certified in First Aid. All drivers will be certified every two years in Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR). • Oxygen Transport - Passengers may travel with oxygen equipment if it is self-administered and can be safely stowed when the vehicle is enroute. Drivers are not permitted to supply, connect, or disconnect oxygen. • Service Animals - Guide dogs or other service animals are allowed if specified when applying for TD and/or ADA-sponsored transportation services. Family pets are not allowed. • On-Board Travel Time - The CTC will make every effort to comply with funding agencies' stated ride times. In situations where it becomes apparent that an individual's onboard travel time will exceed the travel time window (due to accidents and vehicular breakdown,for example),the CTC will make every effort to contact the families or caregivers of the passenger. • Joint Lee and Collier County Local Coordinating Board Meetings - The CTC recognizes the importance of Joint LCB meetings between Lee and Collier Counties for the purpose of developing consistent inter and intra-county policies. For this reason, the BCC as the CTC will make every effort to pay for out-of-county TD trips to attend the Joint LCB meetings between Lee and Collier County. These out-of-county trips will be for attendance at Joint LCB meetings only and will be paid for by the BCC, depending on the funding availability. • Refusal to Pay or No Pays - To ensure consistent and fair transportation services to all our passengers, everyone is expected to pay the proper fare upon boarding a CAT Connect. To emphasize the importance of limiting No Pays,CAT Connect adopted the following,zero tolerance of refusal to pay policy: If the passenger does not have the appropriate amount to pay for his or her co-pay, transportation will not be provided. If the passenger refuses to pay for a return trip the passenger will not be eligible to reserve a future trip until payment of the co-pay has been fulfilled. • Multiple Destinations - Each trip includes one destination. Brief stops at locations before the scheduled destination will not be allowed. If multiple destinations are needed,each section of the trip must be scheduled separately, and the rider must pay a fare for each ride.

Coordination Contract Evaluation Criteria In its role as the CTC, Collier County is responsible for planning, coordination and implementation of the most cost-effective transportation system possible within Collier County. Before entering a coordination contract, Collier County analyzes local transportation needs and available resources to ensure that TD services are non-duplicative and can be provided in the most cost-effective manner by the proposed coordination contractor.Collier County considers the capabilities of a proposed coordination contractor to comply with record keeping, safety, vehicle operations, state and federal civil rights laws, etc. When applicable, Collier County evaluates the past performance of the proposed coordinated provider before entering another Memorandum of Understanding. Cost/Revenue and Allocation and Rate Structure Justification In March 2023,the Collier MPO's Local Coordinating Board approved the service rates shown in Table 28 below utilizing the Florida Commission for the Transportation Disadvantaged 2023 Rate Calculation Worksheet. The Rate Calculation Model is a tool utilized by the CTD to standardize the comparison and approval of rates paid to coordinators throughout the State of Florida.The detailed Rate Model worksheets are included in Appendix E. TRANSPORTATION DISADVANTAGED SERVICE PLAN I Ci ps() 16815 Table 28:CTD Calculated Rates FY 2023/2024 CTD Rate Model Ambulatory Trip $36.73 Wheel Chair Trip $62.97 Group Trip-Individual $26.24 Group Trip-Group $36.73 Buss Pass (daily-full fare) $3.00 Buss Pass (daily-reduced fare) $1.50 Bus Pass (weekly-full fare) $20.00 Bus Pass(weekly-reduced fare) $10.00 Buss Pass (monthly-full fare) $40.00 Buss Pass (monthly-reduced fare) $20.00 Marco Express (monthly-full fare) $70.00 Marco Express(monthly-reduced fare) $35.00 Source 2023 Collier County FY2023-2024 TD Approved Rate Model Worksheet During 2018, Collier County conducted an extensive fare structure evaluation to analyze potential fixed- route and paratransit fare changes, assess potential ridership and revenue impacts, minimize adverse impacts to low-income and minority persons, and identify fare policy recommendations. The fare study involved a public outreach campaign involving rider intercept surveys, public workshops, and the involvement of the County's Public Transit Advisory Committee. Based on the input received,the majority(77%)of bus riders would support a fare increase if revenue is used to improve service frequency and availability or to access new locations. Fifty percent of ADA riders supported a $0.50 fare increase and 56% of TD riders supported a fare increase of$0.25. At the June 12, 2018, Board of County Commissioner's Meeting a resolution was adopted to implement the following fare structure changes effective October 1, 2018. The effective date for student discount programs is June 12, 2018. During the making of this 2023 TDSP major update the fare structure that had been adopted on June 12, 2018, has been confirmed to be and is still the most current fare structure for Collier Area Transit. Table 29 and Table 30 below, display the existing CAT fare structure and the TD/ADA fares respectively.

As a result, the following recommendations were made: • The CTC's eligibility screening process evaluates potential Fixed Route opportunities and educates passengers on available options as appropriate for the individual's travel needs consistent with Strategy 2.1.4 of the TDSP. Discussion is still recommended between the LCB and the CTC to determine an appropriate measure for increasing usage of public transit and the measure will be added to the next TDSP update as deemed appropriate. Status: Ongoing. The CTC continues to work with the LCB to determine if a measure to annually record passengers transferring from paratransit to fixed route can be derived, and if so, establish an acceptable goal. • The paratransit system is an essential service that continues to provide mobility options to the citizens of Collier County. The system was impacted greatly due to a driver shortage which affected all areas of the service. A contract amendment was approved to increase driver wages. Since its implementation it has proven to be successful. With the hiring of the new drivers, the service level has started to improve. Work/medical on time performance has shown consistent improvement over the past year. It is recommended that the CTC continue to monitor overall on time performance and work/medical on time performance and report on a quarterly basis to the LCB. With the cost of fuel increasing and the cost of labor increasing, it is expected that the cost per mile and per passenger trip have increased.The CTC should continue to monitor performance measures and provide the LCB information regarding measures being implemented to increase performance for all TDSP standards. Status: The CTC continues to monitor and strive to improve reliability of service for passengers [Ongoing].

TRANSPORTATION DISADVANTAGED SERVICE PLAN 1e,0 168 1 5 All Customer Service,Dispatchers,and staff receiving phone call will be trained to document complaints. At minimum,the following training will be provided. j Actively listen and makes notes-Concentrate solely on what the customer is telling you,making notes of the key facts and their concerns so you have a record of the conversation to refer to in the future. Don't interrupt the customer,stay calm and in control,recognizing you are representing the County and your organization. This should not be taken personally. In a supportive but concerned tone of voice,you may demonstrate active listening and empathy to the customer through the use of a few small statements such as"I understand",or"I'm sorry to hear that". It is recommended that you paraphrase what you have been told using phrases like,"What I heard you say is..." All of these help the customer feel heard while ensuring you are capturing the information accurately. Acknowledge the customer's concerns and thank them during an appropriate time(during a natural pause),in recognition of the distress this may have caused the customer.Thank them for bringing this matter to your attention,further acknowledging your concern and the desire to be part of the solution. Apologize for the impact or the inconvenience caused;empathize with the complainant concerning the failure to deliver the level of service expected. By saying'sorry'you are again demonstrating to the customer that you are genuinely sorry that this has happened to them and demonstrating that you wish to put things right. Ask questions and summarize your understanding. The questions should be structured with the intent to collect all the facts needed to understand what has happened and to identify how best to resolve the situation. Be sensitive to the fact that the caller may be very upset so don't press the caller. Ask a combination of open(what,how,who,why,where and when)as well as closed questions(for example,"did you?","is he?")to confirm the key facts and glean the information you need.Summarize your understanding back to the customer to ensure you are clear of the facts and to give the opportunity to the customer to share any further facts they may have omitted. Agree and explain the actions you will take because of their complaint. Be sure to only commit to the steps/actions that you have the authority to take. Explain what you will personally undertake to resolve the complaint,including when you will get back to them.Remember to be realistic about timescales,do not over promise. It is always better to under promise and over deliver rather than the other way around. Take ownership of the complaint,but should you need to involve a colleague,explain to the customer who will be in contact with them,and provide the individual's name and job role. Prior to ending the call ask for feedback on the next steps-Check that the customer is happy with the suggested actions you have committed to.Where appropriate,ask the customer if there is anything further that they think you could do at this stage to help them. Review actions in line with Compliant procedures,which could involve: • recording the complaint • ensuring that all actions have been taken and no details missed Assess preventative measures: • Review procedures with your team leader or manager to ensure future mistakes are not made and we learn from each complaint to enhance our customer service experience.

Collier Area Transit, Thank you for meeting with us last week to discuss the issue regarding replacement vehicles listed for the FFY24/SFY25 Section 5310 Grant Application. Upon the review of previous grant applications, and in hopes to reconcile our vehicle replacement lists for our Central Office, it came to our attention that a few Collier County vehicles were duplicated as replacements on past grant applications. We believe this occurred because the demand for vehicles was unable to be met, due to vehicle contracts not being in place. To rectify this issue, we are asking that the four (4) vehicles you have requested on the FFY24/SFY25 Section 5310 Grant Application be deemed "expansion" rather than replacements. This change should not affect Collier County in any way, as long as the vehicles listed as replacements in previous years meet their useful life by the time the new vehicles arrive. In summary, the vehicles in the FFY24 5310 grant application need to be listed as expansions or the Department will not be able to award any vehicles because there are no Collier County replacements available to use. • Please confirm by Tuesday, July 23, 2024, if Collier County can update their grant application to change the 4 vehicles requests from replacements to expansions. The grant application revisions do not need to be completed by 7/23/24. Further instruction of what grant revisions are needed, will be provided at a later time. Separately, FDOT vehicle 97147 was listed as a replacement on the FFY20/SFY21 grant application; however, this vehicle is still active and has not met its useful life. Please ensure it meets its useful life (years and miles) as soon as possible.
