Agenda 06/11/2024 Item #16B 7 (Approve and authorize the Chairman to execute a Transportation Coordination Agreement with Hope Hospice & Community Services, Inc.06/11/2024
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve and authorize the Chairman to execute a Transportation Coordination
Agreement with Hope Hospice & Community Services, Inc.
OBJECTIVE: To assist in the transportation services for those individuals receiving service from Hope Hospice &
Community Services, Inc.
CONSIDERATIONS: Collier County is the Community Transportation Coordinator (CTC) responsible for
coordinating transportation services within the County. Hope Hospice & Community Services, Inc. has requested
that Collier County, as the CTC, enter into a Coordination Agreement to support their use of Federal Transit
Administration Section 5310 grant funds. As established in the CTC agreement (Contract#TD2303), it is Collier
County’s responsibility to execute or negotiate contracts for transportation services with Transportation Operators
and Coordination Contractors and assure that the conditions of such contracts are maintained.
The grant funds awarded to Hope Hospice & Community Services, Inc. are to be utilized to purchase a vehicle that
will transport individuals who attend their programs. The agreement formalizes the information required by Hope
Hospice & Community Services, Inc. on an annual basis. Information to be provided includes the annual operating
report which the CTC is required to submit to the Commission for the Transportation Disadvantaged, and Federal
Transit Administration required drug and alcohol testing verification.
The County had approved a Transportation Coordination Agreement with Hope Hospice & Community Services,
Inc. on February 24, 2015 - Item 16.D.1. After over seven years operating within the agreement, on October 12,
2022, the agency cancelled the agreement due to lack of grant funds received for Collier County. Hope Hospice &
Community Services, Inc. reached out to the CTC on March 19, 2024, to reestablish the Transportation
Coordination Agreement. Entering into this agreement will aid Collier County by reducing the number of trips
directly handled by the CTC and allow Collier’s resources to be focused on providing trips to others.
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 visitors.
Additionally, the item is consistent with the objective to support access to health, wellness, and human services.
FISCAL IMPACT: Approval of the Coordinated agreement ensures compliance with Commission for the
Transportation Disadvantaged (CTD) Memorandum of Agreement (Contract# TD2303) to receive CTD Trip and
Equipment funding.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: This recommendation is consistent with Objective 12 of the
Transportation Element of the Growth Management Plan.
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This item is approved as to form and legality and requires majority vote for
Board approval. - CJS
RECOMMENDATION: That the Board of County Commissioners approves the execution of the Transportation
Coordination Agreement with Hope Hospice & Community Services, Inc.
