Indian River County's public transportation system is <br />administered through a public-private partnership with the <br />Senior Resource Association. In 2009, The Federal Transit <br />Administration awarded Indian River County an American <br />Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) grant in the amount <br />of 82.2 million for the construction of a new transit <br />administration and bus parking facility on 43' Avenue in Vero <br />Beach. Construction of the Indian River County Transit <br />Facility was completed in 2012, and the facility has since been <br />certified as the County's first "green" building. To achieve <br />"green" certification, the facility was designed to comply with <br />the energy efficiency and sustainability standards as set forth by <br />the Florida Green Building Coalition. In addition to using <br />energy efficient systems for heating, cooling, and lighting, the <br />facility was constructed of mostly recycled and recyclable <br />materials. Other materials used in the construction were <br />made in the United States, as per the Buy America and Buy <br />American Acts which were also requirements of the grant. <br />
