Committee approves application for 2026 specialized transportation grant with 20% county match
Summary
The committee approved applying for a state specialized transportation grant for $79,889 with a required county match of $15,009.78 to support volunteer driver medical transportation and the county bus program.
Richland County's Community and Health Services standing committee on Oct. 2 approved applying for and, if awarded, accepting a 2026 specialized transportation grant from the State of Wisconsin.
Staff said the annual grant totals $79,889 and requires a 20 percent county match of $15,009.78. The funds support the county's medical-transportation volunteer driver program and the ADRC bus program.
Why it matters: the grant helps sustain transportation services for residents needing medical rides and supports the county's bus operations; staff said the county routinely applies for the grant and generally receives its allocation.
The committee moved and adopted the application by voice vote. Staff noted a public hearing on transportation coordinating committee matters had occurred the day before.
