One FTA requirement arising from the triennial review <br /> was that the County and the Senior Resource Association(SRA),formerly known as the Council on <br /> Aging,comprehensively formalize the responsibilities of each parry regarding the provision of public <br /> transportation services within the County.In response to that requirement,Indian River County and <br /> the Senior Resource Association entered into an Agreement for Mass Transit Service Provision in <br /> 1999. Subsequently,that agreement was renewed by both parties in 2002,2006,and 2010.The latest <br /> renewal expires February 16, 2013. <br /> In cooperation with the SRA,staff has prepared a new Agreement for Mass Transit Service Provision <br /> (Attachment#1).The agreement identifies the responsibilities of the County and the SRA regarding <br /> grant application and administration,vehicle procurement and maintenance,drug and alcohol testing, <br /> public comment on fare and service changes, handicapped accessibility, and other issues. The <br /> agreement also provides for County oversight of the SRA's transit activities to ensure compliance <br /> with federal regulations. The new agreement has been executed by the SRA's Board of Directors. <br /> Once executed by the Chairman of the Board of County Commissioners, the agreement will be in <br /> effect for a period of three years. <br /> FACommunity Development\Users\MPO\Admin\Agreements\TRANSIT\2013\bcc staff report.doe 1 <br /> 22 <br />
