PRIOR BOARD ACTIONS:
None.
BACKGROUND:
The purpose of the ConCPT funding's coordination portion (CO) is to enhance coordination among NCDOT IMD grantees. Funding will be provided for coordination activities in which two or more public transportation grantees (including community colleges or universities) agree to establish formal relationships to maximize resources, achieve efficiencies, and improve access to public transportation. The primary goal of this ConCPT funding is to establish formal relationships between the participants for long-distance routes.
This funding will be used for both operating and capital expenses to cover coordination services with Anson County Transportation and CATS 74X. It will also be used to cover the cost of replacement tablets for our vehicles and a new Operations, Administrative, and Safety Management System that will replace the current Access system (HUB) used by transportation today.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
A total of $266,000 in grant funds (if approved as submitted), which includes 100% of State share and a Local match of 0%.
