MEMORANDUM
DATE: May 6, 2016
TO: APO Executive Board
FROM: Dorothy Sweet, Administrative Assistant
SUBJECT: Amendment to the 2016 – 2021 APO Transportation Improvement Program
(TIP):Metro Bus project: TRS-0048-16, TRF-0048-16J, TRF-0048-16K
This 2016 amendment is requested by Metro Bus due to a change in federal funding source as
well as additional funding through MNDOT to use federal funds for the expansion and
replacement of their paratransit fleet. The following three changes to the 2016 STIP are
requested:
1. The 2016 Project TRS-0048-16, (2) replacement paratransit buses, for a total of $400,000
will be using $267,600 in STP funding. This is an under-match in federal funds. A STIP
amendment is necessary for MNDOT to provide an additional $52,400 to bring this
project to 80% federally funded.
2. A new 2016 Project, TRF-0048-16J, is for (2) expansion paratransit buses, for a total of
$400,000. This request was originally intended to be funded through state funds.
MNDOT has informed Metro Bus that it is their intention to use $320,000 in federal 5310
funds for this purchase; thus it needs to be added to the 2016 STIP request.
3. A new 2016 Project, TRF-0048-16K, (1) replacement paratransit bus, for a total of
$200,000, is being added to the 2016 STIP. Metro Bus’s need for an additional
replacement bus is due to our aging paratransit fleet. MNDOT has notified Metro Bus
that their intent is to fund this additional bus with $160,000 in federal STP funds.
Requested Action:
Motion to approve the 2016 TIP amendment requested by Metro Bus.
