Cullman County approves 5311 transit grant application to keep rural bus service running
Summary
Cullman County commissioners approved moving forward with an Alabama Department of Transportation 5311 rural transit grant application to support CART operations, administrative costs and capital needs, with staff to sign required FTA assurances and related paperwork.
Cullman County commissioners unanimously approved staff's request to proceed with a federal and state 5311 rural transit grant application to support CART (Cullman Area Rural Transit).
"Hearing no comments, I respectfully request the commission's approval to proceed with the grant application," said Stephanie Childers, the director for parks who presented the application and explained that the funds support administrative operations and capital needs. With no public comments, the commission authorized submission and directed the county attorney and chair to sign related federal fiscal year paperwork, including required FTA assurances.
The application was described as covering routine operating and capital costs for CART and does not bind the county to unspecified future appropriations. Staff presented a motion to ratify Resolution 2026-27 authorizing filing the 5311 application and local matching as required; the motion was seconded and approved by voice vote.
