Exhibit A <br />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 2015/16, 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 flan 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 (Rural Areas) grant program. As indicated in the <br />attached grant application, the total proposed budget amount is $130,428.Ofthat amount, the federal <br />portion is $65,214. The match will consist of $32,607 in state Public Transportation Block Grant <br />funds and $32,607 in local funds. In this case, the County's contribution consists of previously <br />approved general fund monies budgeted specifically for this purpose. <br />i9 1 1�' <br />Funding in the amount of $32,607 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 2015/16 Section 5311 grant application. <br />• <br />1.
