Harnett County endorses North Harnett transit study, allows staff to negotiate with Motive Care
Summary
The county approved endorsement of the Capital Area MPO’s North Harnett transit study and supported staff continuing negotiations with Motive Care Transportation; the board also approved related NCDOT grant pre-application documents.
Harnett County commissioners on May 19 approved endorsing the North Harnett transit study and agreed that staff should continue negotiating an operating agreement with Motive Care Transportation.
The endorsement follows a recommendation from the Capital Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (CAMPO). County staff and Harnett Area Rural Transit requested the board consider endorsing CAMPO’s recommendation and asked the board to approve a fiscal-year administrative grant pre-application required by the North Carolina Department of Transportation Integrated Mobility Division. The board approved those items as part of its consent actions.
County staff will continue negotiations with Motive Care Transportation on the terms of an agreement; the board’s recap stated the consensus was to allow staff to proceed. The transcript does not specify a vote tally, specific contract terms, or funding amounts.
The endorsement and the grant pre-application are intended to move the North Harnett transit study toward implementation and to secure administrative funding through NCDOT’s Integrated Mobility Division. No timeline for a final contract or details of proposed service levels were provided at the meeting.
The board also approved meeting minutes and several other consent items during the same session.
