Joint Participation Agreement (SJPA) with FDOT, a copy of which is attached to this staff report <br />(Attachment 2). <br />ANALYSIS <br />The County receives most of its transit funding through the federal Section 5307 (Urban Area) grant <br />program. Because a portion of Indian River County is designated as rural, the County is also eligible <br />to receive transit funding through the Section 5311 (Nonurbanized Area) grant program. <br />The attached resolution (Attachment 1) authorizes the Chairman of the Board of County <br />Commissioners to execute the SJPA for Nonurbanized Area Formula Grant funds. Upon the Board's <br />adoption of the resolution and the Chairman's execution of the SJPA, County staff will transmit the <br />SJPA to FDOT. Once the SJPA has been executed by FDOT, the funds will be transmitted to the <br />County and passed along to the Senior Resource Association (SRA), the County's public <br />transportation provider, so that the SRA can continue providing fixed route and demand -response <br />transit service to nonurbanized areas of the county. The provision of such service is consistent with <br />the findings of the MPO's adopted 10 -year Transit Development Plan and 2035 Long Range <br />Transportation Plan. <br />FUNDING <br />Funding in the amount of $34,669.50 is budgeted and available in the General Fund / Community <br />Transportation Coordinator account. Funding for this expenditure is part of the allocation given to <br />the Senior Resource Association to provide transit service in the county. <br />Account Number 00111041-088230 <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners approve the attached Public <br />Transportation Supplemental Joint Participation Agreement and adopt the attached resolution <br />authorizing the Chairman to sign the agreement. <br />ATTACHMENTS <br />1.
