EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve the 2018 Annual Progress Report of the Collier County Transit
Development Plan (TDP) through a TDP minor update and authorize its submission to the Florida
Department of Transportation (FDOT).
OBJECTIVE: To obtain authorization to submit the 2018 Annual Progress Report of the TDP to FDOT
to continue receiving State Block Grant funding to offset the cost of the Transit system operation.
CONSIDERATIONS: To receive State Block Grant Funds for system operations, each transit agency
must develop a TDP Major Update every five (5) years and an annual progress report for all other years.
TDPs must be submitted to the FDOT Department by September 1 as cited in FDOT rule 14-73 (5)(b).
The requirements that must be met in the TDP Annual Progress Report are outlined in Rule 14-731,
Florida Administrative Code. The 2018 Collier County TDP Annual Progress Report outlines the
progress that Collier Area Transit (CAT) has made in FY2017 towards achieving the goals and objectives
identified in the last TDP Major Update, which was approved on June 23, 2015, Agenda Item #16D4.
The Collier County TDP Annual Progress Report is a ten (10) year planning document that recommends
implementation strategies to achieve the goals and objectives. The report is submitted in the form of a
TDP minor update. This document also evaluates where there were discrepancies in the implementations
that differ with the TDP Major Update. The funding shown in the Financial Section of the TDP Annual
Progress Report for FY2018-2027 is for planning purposes only and should not be considered a proposed
budget.
The TDP Annual Progress Report went through the CAT Public Participation Plan, which includes a
review and comments from the Public Transit Advisory Committee. The TDP has undergone a fifteen
(15) day public comment period as required by the CAT Public Participation Plan.
Approval of the following documents by the County Manager is subject to formal ratification by the
Board of County Commissioners. If the decision by the County Manager is not ratified by that Board, the
document(s) shall be enforceable against Collier County only to the extent authorized by law in the
absence of such ratification by that Board.
FISCAL IMPACT: The TDP Progress Report includes an estimated budget for ten (10) years. At the
time the TDP was written, the following funding estimates were developed and are contained in the plan
for FY2016. The budget includes Federal Transit Administration (FTA) 5307, 5339, 5310 and 5311 grant
funds in the amount of $3,761,835; State Block grant in the amount of $1,668,966; Service Development
Grant in the amount of $44,000; and County General Fund contribution of $5,873,356. In addition,

LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This Item is approved for form and legality and requires a majority vote
for Board action. -JAB
