ITEM NO.G.1
AT A REGULAR MEETING OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF ROANOKE
COUNTY, VIRGINIA HELD AT THE ROANOKE COUNTY ADMINISTRATION CENTER
MEETING DATE:June 22, 2021
AGENDA ITEM:Request to accept a $15,000 Rural Transit Assistance
Program Grant, and allocate such funds to the Grant Fund,
to be used for technical assistance in evaluating the
County's public transit options, and allocate unexpended
funds in the amount of $31,696.15 that were previously
appropriated in the Fiscal Year 2020-2021 budget (to finance
the CORTRAN program) to further fund the evaluation of the
County's public transit options
SUBMITTED BY:Laurie Gearheart
Director of Finance and Management Services
APPROVED BY:Daniel R. O’Donnell
County Administrator
ISSUE:
Accept and allocate a $15,000 Technical Assistance grant from the Department of Rail
and Public Transportation (DRPT) to be used for technical assistance in evaluating the
County's public transit options, and allocation of unexpended fundsin the amount of
$31,696.15 to further fund the evaluation of the County's public transit options.
BACKGROUND:
In fiscal year 2020-2021, Roanoke County submitted an application to the Virginia
Department of Rail and Public Transportation (DRPT) for funding to supplement the
CORTRAN program. DRPT approved the County of Roanoke's Rural Transit
Assistance Program (RTAP) grant request for Technical Assistance in the amount of
$15,000 to evaluate public transit options.
DISCUSSION:
After receiving the grant award, the County solicited and reviewed proposals, and would
like to enter into a contract with AECOM, for AECOM to provide such technical
Page 1of 2
assistance in evaluating the County's public transit options.
It is proposed that AECOM will provide analysis regarding the current program along
with a five year service and operation plan for the future of the program. The total cost
of technical assistance is $46,696.15.
Funding from DRPT's RTAP grant funds will cover a portion of the cost for technical
assistance. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, reduced usage of the CORTRAN program
has reduced anticipated expenditures for fiscal year 2020-2021. Expenditure savings
from the CORTRAN program will cover for the portion not funded by the DRPT RTAP
grant.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The Rural Transit Assistance Program grant is limited to $15,000, and all project costs
above $15,000 are the responsibility of the County of Roanoke. The remaining
$31,696.15 will be paid from the fiscal year 2020-2021 CORTRAN division budget.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends approval of the acceptance and allocation of $15,000 (the Technical
Assistance grant from the Department of Rail and Public Transportation (DRPT)), and
allocating the remaining $31,696.15 from the CORTRAN fiscal year 2020-2021
expenditure savings, both to be used to finance technical assistance in evaluating the
County's public transit options.
