funding for the intercounty transit service. At this time, FDOT is allocating an additional $195,543 to <br />the county. Additional FDOT funding will be available in FY 2016/17. FDOT has also agreed to <br />extend the grant two additional years, with a new expiration date of April 30, 2019. In order to <br />receive these funds, the BCC must enter into a Supplemental Joint Participation Agreement (SJPA) <br />with FDOT, a copy of which is attached to this staff report (Attachment #2). <br />ANALYSIS <br />The attached resolution (Attachment # 1) authorizes the Chairman to execute the SJPA for Corridor <br />Grant funds. Upon the Board's adoption of the resolution and the Chairman's execution of the SJPA, <br />MPO staff will transmit the SJPA to FDOT. <br />As with the FTA Section 5307 grant program, only public agencies may be designated recipients of <br />state Corridor Grant funds. With respect to the Corridor Grant program, the county receives the grant <br />funds and transfers those funds to the county's Community Transportation Coordinator and transit <br />provider, the Senior Resource Association (SRA). The SRA, in turn, provides the service as directed <br />by the county and as identified in the SJPA. In this case, the funds are to be used to provide <br />intercounty service to the IRSC Main Campus in St. Lucie County. <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.
