must adopt the attached resolution(Attachment#1), authorizing staff to submit the attached grant <br /> application to FDOT.A copy of the grant application is attached to this staff report(Attachment#2). <br /> ANALYSIS <br /> For FY 2013/14,the SRA has requested that the County apply for federal Section 5311 funds on the <br /> SRA's behalf so that the SRA can provide for the continuation and expansion of its <br /> GoLine/Community Coach fixed route and demand response services in rural areas of Indian River <br /> County.The provision of such service is consistent with the findings of the MPO's adopted 10-year <br /> Transit Development Plan and 2035 Long Range Transportation Plan. <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.As indicated <br /> in the attached grant application,the total proposed budget amount is$128,220.Of that amount,the <br /> federal portion is $64,110. The match will consist of$32,055 in state Public Transportation Block <br /> Grant funds and$32,055 in local funds.In this case,the County's contribution consists of previously <br /> approved general fund monies budgeted specifically for this purpose. <br /> FUNDING <br /> Funding in the amount of$32,055 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 /> RECOMMENDATION <br /> Staff recommends that the Board of County Commissioners adopt the attached resolution authorizing <br /> the filing of the attached FY 2013/14 Section 5311 grant application. <br /> ATTACHMENTS <br /> 1.
