21. Recommendation Concerning the Scheduling of a Public Hearing for the Florida

Board of County Commissioners Meeting · 2026-05-07 · agenda_item

The Escambia County Board of County Commissioners is planning a public hearing on May 21, 2026, to discuss a grant application for mass transit projects. This application is for Fiscal Year 2026 funding from the Florida Department of Transportation's Section 5311 program. The grant will cover both capital and operating expenses for the Mass Transit Department. The public hearing is a step in the review process for this grant. This project could involve the procurement of transit vehicles, maintenance equipment, and related operational services. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers are encouraged to engage early, as this is an early stage of the planning process before specific bids or contracts are finalized.
