The commission adopted Resolutions 2025-9 and 2025-10 to commit $147,292 in local match for FY2026 Section 5311 rural transit and to authorize filing grant applications and required Title VI/DBE assurances with federal and state transportation agencies.
The Autauga County Commission approved two resolutions Dec. 17 to pursue federal and state transit funding under Section 5311 for FY2026. Resolution No. 2025-9 commits $147,292.00 in local non-federal matching funds for operations, administration, planning and capital expenditures for the rural transit program. Resolution No. 2025-10 authorizes the county to file applications with the U.S. Department of Transportation and the Alabama Department of Transportation, including Title VI assurances and disadvantaged business enterprise policies.
Commissioner Bill Tatum moved approval of the resolutions and Commissioner John L. Thrailkill seconded; the motions carried unanimously. County meeting documents note that participating municipalities will share the local match as appropriate and that the county is recognized as a member of the Autauga County Rural Transportation Steering Committee.
The resolutions instruct county officials to furnish additional information as required by federal or state agencies and to execute grant agreements if awards are made. The meeting record does not include the full proposed project budget or the specific municipalities’ share breakdown; the resolution records the total local match amount as $147,292.00.
