Summary This Order will authorize an application for funding under the Federal Transit Administration, FY 2017 Competitive Funding Opportunity: Buses and Bus Facilities Infrastructure Investment Program FY 2017 to replace up to five Community Connector transit buses. These buses meet both the age and mileage requirements for replacement under FTA rules. It is estimated that new transit buses cost in the range of $425,000-$450,000 per bus. Under the terms of the funding program, if the buses are ADA compliant, a local match of 15% would be required. Given the age and condition of the fleet and limited funding opportunities, it is recommended that the city apply for the funds. This item was reviewed and recommended for funding at the Government Operations Committee on July 31, 2017.
