Commission backs letter supporting rural 5311/53.11 transit grant to expand K‑Town connector
Summary
A transit representative requested a letter of support for a Section 5311 (53.11) rural transit grant to expand the K‑Town connector to Junction City and to request a vehicle replacement; commissioners moved, seconded and approved a letter of support by voice vote.
A transit representative asked the county commission Nov. 17 to provide a letter of support for a Section 5311/53.11 rural transit grant that would pilot an expanded K‑Town connector to Junction City beginning in January and to request a vehicle replacement in the current grant cycle.
The speaker said the pilot will improve service in rural parts of northern Raleigh County (outside Manhattan, Ogden and parts of western Pottawatomie County) and will include a flexible stop option for small communities such as Ogden. "One of the really good things that we're gonna do for the town of Ogden is run a flex route," the speaker said.
A commissioner moved and another seconded to approve a letter of support for the 53.11 grant request. The chair called for the vote and the motion passed by voice vote.
The commission did not record a roll-call tally in the transcript. The transit representative thanked the commission and left the meeting.
