II. 9:02 a.m. Public Hearing for the Grant for Federal Fiscal Year 2026 5310 Enhanced

Board of County Commissioners Meeting · 2026-05-21 · agenda_item

The Escambia County Board of County Commissioners is planning to hold a public hearing to discuss a proposed grant application for Federal Fiscal Year 2026. This grant, under Section 5310, is for enhanced mobility of seniors and individuals with disabilities and will be submitted by the Mass Transit Department to the Florida Department of Transportation. The funds are intended for capital expenses related to mass transit projects. This item is currently under review as part of the grant application process. The project will likely involve the procurement of new transit vehicles or equipment, and potentially upgrades to existing transit facilities. Businesses that provide transit vehicle manufacturing, maintenance services, accessibility equipment, or related capital goods could find opportunities. Engaging early in the process, before the grant is finalized and specific procurement needs are detailed, may offer an advantage.
