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

Indian River County is planning to enter into a Public Transportation Grant Agreement with the Florida Department of Transportation. This agreement will allow the county to receive $90,000 in federal funds for transit operations. These funds are part of the Formula Grants for Rural Areas program and will be passed through to the Senior Resource Association (SRA), the county's designated transit provider. The SRA uses these funds to offer fixed route service, known as GoLine, and demand-response service, called Community Coach, in rural areas of the county. This item is currently under review by the Board of County Commissioners. The work involves the administrative process of securing and transferring grant funds, which supports ongoing transit services. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers in areas like transit operations, maintenance, and related administrative support could find opportunities by engaging with the county or SRA early in the process, before future grant agreements and operational plans are finalized.
