funds for the purpose of providing transit service to the rural areas of the County since 2005.
On December 10, 2019, the Board of County Commissioners (Board) approved a Resolution for the
execution and submittal of an application for the FY2020-2021 FTA Section 5311 Grant. On May 12,
2020, FDOT notified and issued the Public Transit and Neighborhood Enhancement (PTNE) Division a
recommendation for award to provide continued operational, administrative, and managerial funding for
the provision of public transportation services in the non-urbanized areas of Collier County. This award
will provide continued public transportation to six (6) rural routes; Routes 19 and 28 (providing
transportation between the Immokalee area and the Intermodal Transfer Station), Route 121 (providing
early morning and late evening express service between Immokalee and Marco Island), Routes 22 and 23
(providing a circulator within the rural Immokalee community), and Route 24 (providing transportati on
between the Charlee Estates area and the Intermodal Transfer Station).
The amount of Federal funding available for FY2020/2021 is $581,826. A local match totaling $581,826

CAT Operating Fund (426). Staff received the grant agreement on January 12, 2021, and it is attached to
this item for the Board’s consideration.
FISCAL IMPACT: This FTA Section 5311 Grant PTGA provides for a total funding amount of
$1,163,652. The total funding is made up of Federal funds in the amount of $581,826 and a local match
amount of $581,826. A Budget Amendment is required in the amount of $581,826 to recognize grant
revenue in CAT Grant Fund (424) Project 33735. A Budget Amendment is also required to recognize the
local match in the amount of $581,826 to CAT Grant Match Fund (425), Project 33735. Matching funds
are available within the Collier Area Transit Enhancement Fund (426) supported by the annual transfer of
General Fund (001) revenue.
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: This action is consistent with Objectives 10 and 12 of the
Transportation Element of the Growth Management Plan.
