RECOMMENDATION:

Recommendation Concerning the Memorandum of Agreement for Community Transportation Coordinator for Escambia County - Tonya Ellis, Mass Transit Department Director

That the Board take the following action concerning the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA #2048) for Community Transportation Coordinator (CTC) with the Florida Commission for the Transportation Disadvantaged (FCTD):

A. Approve the Memorandum of Agreement commencing on July 1, 2020, and ending on June 30, 2025; and

B. Authorize the Chairman to sign the Memorandum of Agreement for execution of five years commencing on July 1, 2020, and ending on June 30, 2025.

[Funding for the Transportation Disadvantaged/Paratransit program is provided by the Florida Commission for the Transportation Disadvantaged and is included in the Mass Transit Fund 104]

BACKGROUND:

The County previously entered into a Memorandum of Agreement with the Florida Commission for the Transportation Disadvantaged on April 29, 2014, effective June 1, 2014, for a period of five years. That Agreement was scheduled to expire on June 30, 2019. Due to an administrative oversight that occurred during the 2018 Legislative Session, the FCTD extended the current MOA with Escambia County for a period of one year, until June 30, 2020.

This MOA with the Florida Commission for the Transportation Disadvantaged designates Escambia County as the Community Transportation Coordinator for another five years.

BUDGETARY IMPACT:

Funding for the Transportation Disadvantaged/Paratransit program is provided by the Florida Commission for the Transportation Disadvantaged, at an approximate annual cost of $650,000, and is included in the Mass Transit Fund 104; however trips provided well exceed the budget and therefore the balance is supplemented by the Mass Transit budget.
