Board approves request to apply for MDOT 5310 vehicle and cover local match
Summary
Supervisors authorized a letter to MDOT to request a 7‑passenger bus through the Section 5310 Disabled Transportation program and approved using North Delta planning funds for the required local match of $25,315.60.
Tunica County supervisors on Aug. 18 approved a request to apply to the Mississippi Department of Transportation’s Section 5310 disabled transportation program for a 7‑passenger ADA‑accessible bus and authorized a local match of $25,315.60 to be paid through North Delta planning funds. Staff said the county currently operates a mix of senior and youth vehicles and that the requested bus would replace an inoperable 25‑passenger vehicle. The board approved the application and match authorization by voice vote. County staff said the replacement will improve availability of ADA‑accessible service for senior and recreation programs; final procurement depends on grant award and vehicle availability.
