The Escambia County Board of County Commissioners is planning to hold a public hearing to discuss a proposed grant application for Fiscal Year 2026. This grant, from the Federal Transit Administration's Section 5310 program, is intended for enhanced mobility of seniors and individuals with disabilities. The Mass Transit Department is the applicant seeking these funds for capital expenses. The project is currently under review as part of the grant application process. This initiative would likely involve the procurement of new vehicles or equipment, and potentially upgrades to existing facilities or technology to improve accessibility and transportation services for seniors and individuals with disabilities. Contractors specializing in vehicle acquisition, maintenance, accessibility modifications, and related technology services may find opportunities as this project moves forward. Early engagement is advised as the grant application is being developed.
