Commission approves transit capital and operating grants covering maintenance and operations
Summary
The commission approved signatures to accept a state transit capital grant for maintenance and a related operating grant that funds drivers and administration; staff said the system runs on about $2.2 million with the county covering roughly 26% of the local share.
County staff presented two grant authorizations on February 12 to support Allegany County’s transit operations: a capital grant to cover mechanics and maintenance of the transit facility and an operating grant to fund administration and drivers. Adam Patterson said these grants are part of the county’s annual process to secure state funding.
Patterson described the combined program as roughly a $2.2 million operation, with Allegany County responsible for about a 26% local match. Commissioners moved, seconded and approved authority for the signatures needed to accept both grants.
No contract-level details, grant project numbers, or specific budget lines were discussed at the meeting; staff indicated the local share has increased in recent years but described the system as operating efficiently.
