Current System Description
Vision:
To be an integral part of Collier County's Transportation network operated effectively and
efficiently to improve economic and environmental benefits while providing all residents an
alternative to the automobile.
System Description:
Collier Area Transit (CAT) provides residents and visitors of Collier County with an accessible
mode of travel. These services include public transit for fixed route and paratransit. Collier
County occupies a land area of approximately 2,025.3 square miles making it one of the largest
County's in Florida. At least 80 percent of the Collier County land area has been set aside as
preserve lands, including Big Cypress National Preserve, Everglades National Park, two national
wildlife refuges, one national research reserve, three state parks, one state forest, and a number
of other public and private parks and nature preserves. In addition, Collier County has nearly 50
miles of public beaches and a vast area of Agricultural lands. With such a large land area, comes
wear and tear. More vehicle miles traveled translate into increased maintenance requirements of
our fleet.
The Collier County Board of County Commissioner is the governing body for the Public
Transportation system in Collier County. The Public Transportation system, Collier Area Transit
(CAT), operates under the supervision of the Collier County Department of Public Transit &
Neighborhood Enhancement(PTNE) for the Collier County Public Service Division. CAT serves
as the public transit provider for Collier County, serving the Naples, Marco Island, and
Immokalee areas. It is the mission of CAT to provide safe, accessible and courteous public
transportation services to our customers.
Collier County is considered a complete brokerage system, contracting all of its operations
currently to Keolis Transit America who is responsible for the day to day transit operations of the
transit system including hiring, training and management of the bus operators and customer
service personnel. Keolis currently employees 105 persons to run the CAT operations of which
27 handle the paratransit operations. The management and oversight of the Keolis contract is
conducted by the Alternative Transportation Modes (ATM) Department, who has a total of 4.5
employees within the Transit section.
Collier Area Transit's fixed route program had a total of 1,181,530 riders in fiscal year 2014 of
which 24% is attributed to the rural areas. CAT currently offers 17 fixed routes though out
Collier County of which four go to the non-urbanized/rural areas; Route 19 (Provides
transportation to and from the Immokalee area to the Intermodal transfer Station), Route 121
(Provides an early morning and late evening express service between Immokalee and Marco
Island), Route 23 and Route 24 (Provides a circulator within the rural Immokalee community).
Because of the high poverty level and limited access to vehicles, many residents with the
Immokalee community and surrounding areas rely on CAT for access to employment and to
7
IS)
meet other personal needs. It is imperative that these residents are able to safely access CAT's
bus stops to continue to support themselves and their families.

Proposed Project Description (not to exceed three (3) pages)
The Collier County Board of County Commissioners is requesting FTA Section 5339 funds to
improve 16 existing bus stops within the rural area of Collier County by bringing them into
compliance with the American's with Disabilities Act (ADA). In addition, 5 of the 16 bus stops
will have shelters constructed for the passengers benefit.
Collier County recently adopted the Collier Area Transit Bus Stop Assessment which can be
reviewed at: http://www.colliergov.net/index.aspx?page=7462. CAT currently has 548 bus stops.
Of the total bus stops, the assessment concluded that a total of 35 bus stops were technically
ADA compliant. For those bus stops that were identified with deficiencies, the deficiencies
ranged from minor deficiencies (inadequate bus stop sign height) that are quickly and
inexpensively corrected to major deficiencies (no boarding and alighting pad or surrounding
infrastructure leading to stop not ADA compliant), requiring planning, design, coordination and
potentially significant expense to correct.
The study included a two-step prioritization process to help determine which improvements
should be implemented first. The first step examined the conditions at each stop, its accessibility,
the safety/security and its operational efficiency. The second step involved assessing factors that
related to the frequency of use of the bus stop and nearby trip generators to determine the
demand for the improvement. After the assessment and prioritizations were completed, the
consultants completed an Implementation and Financial Plan that included cost estimates for the
design and construction of recommended improvements. The plan estimated a total cost for the
improvements at$3,538,200.
Collier County is requesting funding for 16 rural bus stops. The average cost to bring 11 of the
bus stops into ADA compliance is approximately $88,000 ($8,000 per stop). Each of the bus
shelters cost approximately $35,000 for purchase, design, and installation. The total estimated
cost for this project is $263,000. The Federal amount requested is $210,400. A 20% State match
will be requested in the amount of$52,600.
Section 5339 funding for these bus stops is essential to improve accessibility to CAT riders.
Currently, 15 of the 16 bus stops shown in the attached list are within the Immokalee area.
Immokalee is one of the three "Rural Areas of Opportunity" (RAO) Florida has designated. This
means that the area has been adversely affected by extraordinary economic events or natural
disasters. According to the 2012 American Community Survey, approximately 48% of all
families live below the poverty level in Immokalee and 17%of all residents use mass transit. The
residents of Immokalee depend upon CAT to access employment and meet other needs such as
medical and nutritional. Access to the transit system is vital to their well being.
The Collier County Board of County Commissioners functions as the Community Transportation
Coordinator (CTC) and provides public transportation services as Collier Area Transit (CAT).
As previously noted, the County is under contract with Keolis Transit America, Inc. to provide
the transit operations for the system. Keolis hires all bus operators, customer service staff, and
administrative personnel to run the operations. The County compensates the vendor by the
10
revenue hour including minor reimbursables. The Contractor is responsible for providing
recommendations related to all fixed route bus service planning activities related to operations of
CAT fixed route bus services including, but not limited to: bus routes, schedules, days and hours
of operations, bus stop locations, location of bus stop improvements, preparation of all planning
documents, cost estimates and other such activities relative to overall system administration,
pending the County's review and approval. Periodic contract monitoring to ensure continued
compliance with the service contract is the responsibility of the both the Contractor and the
County.
Safety Program
A written safety program has been developed and is maintained by the Contractor which includes
safety policies and practices, accident procedures and reporting, and other training materials and
documented in the System Safety Program Plan (SSP) and the System Security Emergency
Preparedness Plan (SSEPP). Collier County conducts an annual System Safety review of the
Contractor to comply with safety requirements of Chapter 14-90, Florida Administrative Code
(FAC). The Contractor's documented safety program includes the following components:
• Accident Response Plan
• Accident Review Process and Analysis
• Determination of an Accident as Preventable or Non-Preventable, Utilizing the National
Safety Council (NSC) Guidelines
• Employee Retraining Provisions
• Driver Incentive Provisions
• Programs and Methods to be Utilized to Promote Safety Awareness
• Employee Training and Required Certifications
The Contractor shall participate in tabletop, emergency preparedness training exercise as
requested by the County. The contractor is considered essential personnel and shall be available
upon request for evacuation and transportation for any emergency events 24/7.
Drug & Alcohol Testing Program
The Contractor administers a Drug and Alcohol (D&A) Program which meets all of the Federal
and Collier County requirements. In addition, the Contractor requires all subcontractors
providing services for the fixed route service to adhere to the testing requirements of this D&A
program. CAT performs D&A testing in accordance with United Stated Department of
Transportation (US DOT) and Federal Transit Administration (FTA) regulations, as defined in
Title 49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Parts 40 and 655. The Contractor produces
documentation necessary to establish its compliance with Title 49 CFR, Parts 653 and 654.
