Troup County to apply for FY2027 GDOT 5311 transit grant to replace four vans
Summary
County staff requested permission to apply for a FY2027 GDOT 5311 grant totaling $721,150; the application would fund replacement of four transit vans at about $138,000 each with federal/state/local funding shares described by staff.
Glenn Downs asked commissioners for permission to apply for a FY2027 GDOT 5311 transit grant during the Sept. 16 work session. He said the total grant would be $721,150 and is typically awarded about a year after application; the request includes replacement of four transit vans at roughly $138,000 apiece.
"This is a GDOT grant… the total grant we're looking at is $721,150," Glenn Downs told the board, and he outlined funding contributions for the vehicle replacements (staff indicated federal, state and local shares for the four vehicles). Commissioners had no substantive objections and staff said they would proceed to apply.
