BOX 2102 VERO BEACH, FLORIDA 32%1 October 6, 1992 Commissioner -Margaret Bowman Chairman, Transportation Disadvantaged Local Coordinating Board Board of County Commissioners 1840 25th Street Vero Beach, Florida 32960" Dear Commissioner Bowman: The Council on Aging recently received a grant from the United Way for the purpose of establishing a fixed route bus route for Indian River County. The Purpose of the route is to serve the disadvantaged who are able to get to a bus stop, and are in need of transportation to the Public Agencies. Funds were provided from the United Way Special Response Fund and will support this effort for six months. The Council on Aging is sharing this expense, approximately equally with the United Way. On October 2nd, representatives from the agencies met to discuss the principle pickup locations of their clients in need, the destination points and the areas to be served. Details of this meeting have been forwarded under separate cover. One major area requiring attention is the posting of appropriate signage. Each stop on the fixed route is to have a sign indicating a bus stopand the bus schedule for the route. Mike Duek CosuntpEngineer, was present as agreed to fabricate the signs; however, approximately $2,000 in materials is required to purchase materials acceptable for our community signs. This letter is to request consideration for an appropriation of $2,000 for the County Engineering Department to purchase materials for signage. As transportation continues to be one of the top priorities of our County, we look forward to your favorable reply. S Transportation 40 -isor .-I
