Clemson to see $650,000 increase in transit allocation under revised ACAT formula, staff says
Summary
City staff told council an MOU tied to a regional allocation shift will raise Clemson's transit funding by $650,000 next year, plus roughly $50,000 per year over the following three years, and capture 'small transit intensive cities' funding for which Clemson qualifies.
City staff reported changes to regional transit sub-allocation that will increase Clemson’s funding.
Ali (city staff) said the city moved from GPATS to a different regional allocation arrangement and negotiated an MOU with neighboring agencies that will boost Clemson’s transit allocation by $650,000 in the coming year, and by a little over $50,000 per year for the subsequent three years. Ali said that a new program for "small transit intensive cities" will direct additional funding to Clemson because it qualifies while Anderson does not.
The report was presented for discussion; council members offered brief positive comments, and staff indicated the MOU would be placed before council for formal consideration. No formal budget appropriation vote was recorded in the transcript during the Dec. 10 meeting.
