Morrow County approves ODOT application filing and adopts transit Americans with Disabilities plan

Morrow County commissioners voted to authorize Morrow County Area Transit (MCAT) to file an application with the Ohio Department of Transportation and separately approved MCAT’s Americans with Disabilities Plan during their regular session.

The approvals, made by motion and roll call, were recorded as affirmative by the commissioners present. The resolution authorizing the ODOT application and the resolution approving the transit ADA plan were placed before the commissioners in the same portion of the agenda and were carried by recorded vote.

The agenda language presented to the commissioners identified the applicant as “Morrow County Area Transit” and the administrative rule cited for a separate intervention item later in the meeting was Ohio Administrative Code 4906-2-12. No speaker during the transit agenda item provided additional public comment in the transcript beyond the motions and roll calls.

The actions were entered into the meeting record by roll call; the transcript records the board verbally confirming affirmative votes. The transcript does not specify which department staff will submit the ODOT application, nor does it list expected funding amounts or timelines for ODOT review.

The approvals mean the county has authorized MCAT to proceed with filing the formal application and has recorded adoption of the transit agency’s Americans with Disabilities Plan in the meeting minutes. Additional administrative steps, including application submission and ODOT processing, were not detailed in the recorded discussion.

The commissioners also advanced several other routine agenda items during the same session, including facility maintenance and personnel journal entries.
