Agenda Item
Resolution - Public Transit Services:
Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor of the City of Lubbock, or his designee, to execute a FY 2022 and FY 2023 Federal Transit Administration Section 5310 Grant (TX-2024-038-00), to enhance the mobility of elderly individuals and individuals with disabilities.
Item Summary
The Federal Transit Administration has allocated $604,576 in Section 5310 funds to The City of Lubbock/Citibus. For FY 2022, $305,672 was added, and for FY 2023, $298,904 was added. The funds from Section 5310 grants are to be used for public transportation projects planned, designed, and carried out to meet the special needs of seniors and individuals with disabilities when public transportation is insufficient, inappropriate, or unavailable. The Section 5310 grant funds will be used to purchase paratransit vans, and fund paratransit trips outside the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) 3/4 mile boundary. The grant has been incorporated into the budget, which has been previously approved by the City Council.
A minimum of 55% of program funds must be used on capital projects, and a maximum of 45% must be used for public transportation operating projects that exceed the requirements of the ADA, or projects that improve access to public transportation services by individuals with disabilities and seniors.
Federal Transit Administration regulations require that all grants must be applied for and executed electronically. Therefore, Citibus would like to request that the Mayor allow the City of Lubbock’s Chief Financial Officer to execute this grant, once approved by the City Council.
Fiscal Impact
The $330,740 local match required for this grant has already been included in the Citibus Budget. Acceptance of this grant will result in no additional cost to the City of Lubbock.
