Committee backs transit grant application seeking $308,806 to support Cheyenne Transit operations
Summary
The Finance Committee recommended that the City Council support a Cheyenne Transit Program application to the Wyoming Department of Transportation’s rural public transit program for $308,806.29 to cover operations, administration and maintenance costs.
The Finance Committee recommended that the City Council approve a resolution supporting submission of an application by the Cheyenne Transit Program to the Wyoming Department of Transportation for grant funding under the Wyoming rural public transit program.
Vicky Nemechek of Public Works said the city is applying for $308,806.29 to cover operational, administrative and maintenance costs associated with providing public transportation to the city service area. She also described progress on a purchased property at 1800 Westland Road, noting easement negotiations were resolved and that interior demolition and window replacements are planned under earlier grants tied to the purchase.
Committee members asked whether porta‑potties near certain stops complied with the Americans with Disabilities Act; Nemechek said the transit manager, Kim Saramgaard, indicated they do comply; the committee requested confirmation of that compliance.
With no public comment, the committee moved and seconded a recommendation to adopt and forward the resolution to the full City Council.
