Consider approval of a Resolution that would demonstrate Texas City's support of excess ARRA transit funds being utilized in League City for a Park and Ride facility.

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) is providing approximately $1.6 million in transit funding to the Texas City/La Marque Urbanized Area.  Texas City will be able to utilize some of the funding to install bus shelters, informational kiosks, and accessibility improvements at selected locations throughout the Texas City Connect bus system.  However, there are not enough "shovel-ready" projects for Texas City to be able to utilize the full ARRA funding amount.  

Connect Transit and the City of League City have requested that Texas City support a transfer of excess ARRA funding so that a Park and Ride facility can be constructed in League City.  The excess funding is approximately $1.4 million.
