With respect to the Transit Corridor Grant program,the county <br /> receives the grant fiends and transfers those funds to the county's Community Transportation <br /> Coordinator and transit provider, the Senior Resource Association (SRA). The SRA, in turn, <br /> provides the service as directed by the county and as identified in the JPA.In this case,the fluids are <br /> to be used to provide intercounty service to the IRSC Main Campus in St. Lucie County. <br /> Intercounty transit service to St. Lucie County began in early 2010 with the introduction of a new <br /> transit route(GoLine Route 13)that originates at the Indian River Mall and provides service to the <br /> IRSC Main Campus in Fort Pierce.The route also serves the SR 60 corridor from the Indian River <br /> Mall to the Vero Fashion Outlets. <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.
