Agenda 01/09/2024 Item #16B 5 (Resolution - Public Transit Agreement w/FDOT accepting FTA Section 5311 )01/09/2024
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to adopt a resolution approving and authorizing the Chairman to execute the Public
Transit Grant Agreement (PTGA) 451893-1-94-22 with the Florida Department of Transportation to accept
Federal Transit Administration Section 5311 Rural Area Program in the amount of $575,000 for the
purchase of a replacement bus and authorize the necessary Budget Amendments.
OBJECTIVE: To purchase a replacement bus to support fixed route services in the rural areas of Collier County.
CONSIDERATIONS: The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Section 5311 Rural Area Program is a grant
program administered by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) and is authorized by Title 49 U.S.
Code. The program provides capital, planning, and operating assistance to states and federally recognized Indian
tribes to support public transportation in rural areas with populations less than 50,000.
On December 14, 2021 (Agenda item 16A27), the Board of County Commissioners (“Board”) authorized staff to
submit an application to purchase a replacement vehicle to support fixed route services in the rural areas of Collier
County.
On August 22, 2023, FDOT submitted the final Public Transit Grant Agreement (PTGA) for execution. The
attached PTGA FM# 451893-1-94-22 includes the grant award of $575,000 which is 100% of the total project cost.
Grant funding will be used to purchase a replacement vehicle to support fixed route services in the rural areas of
Collier County. In doing so, Collier Area Transit is progressing with the objectives of the Transit Asset
Management Plan by replacing vehicles that have met their useful life.
The Resolution also authorizes the Chairman or their designee to modify or terminate the agreement, as well as
execute any pertinent documents affiliated with the agreement.
This item is consistent with the Collier County strategic plan objective to design and maintain an effective
transportation system to reduce traffic congestion and improve the mobility of our residents and visitor s.
FISCAL IMPACT: Funding is provided by the FTA, whereby, these grant dollars are passed through the Florida
Department of Transportation via the PTGA. A budget amendment is required in the amount of $575,000 to
recognize grant revenue within CAT Grant Fund 4031, Project No. 33882. A local match is not required.
The purchase of the replacement vehicle will not be an increase to the overall fixed route fleet inventory. The
maintenance cost for the vehicle has been allocated within the annual budget. By adequately maintaining a
replacement plan, the overall maintenance costs are reduced by replacing the aging vehicles.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: This item is consistent with Objective 12 of the Transportation Element
of the Growth Management Plan.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item has been approved for form and legality and requires a majority vote for
Board approval. -DDP
RECOMMENDATION: To adopt a resolution approving and authorizing the Chairman to execute the Public
Transit Grant Agreement 451893-1-94-22 with the Florida Department of Transportation to accept Federal Transit
Administration Section 5311 Rural Area Program in the amount of $575,000 for the purchase of a replacement bus,
and authorize the necessary Budget Amendments.
