Buda Council accepts CapMetro grant to upgrade senior transportation software
Summary
The Buda City Council approved a CapMetro grant of $146,827 to buy scheduling software for the city’s senior transportation program after pulling the item from consent for brief discussion and praise for staff. Council approved the rest of the consent slate in a single motion.
The Buda City Council approved acceptance of a three-year CapMetro grant totaling $146,827 to purchase passenger scheduling software for the city’s senior transportation program.
City staff explained the software will support operations for seniors’ trips to medical appointments, shopping and other essential travel. Councilmember (who pulled the item) thanked staff for securing grant funds that help residents and seniors access services locally: "My hats off to you, Mr. Ramirez, for keeping this process going, getting grant funds so that we can help support our seniors," the councilmember said.
Council approved the remainder of the consent agenda — including procurement authorizations for fleet and street maintenance equipment, a park facility fee reimbursement and a salary resolution — in a single motion with no recorded dissent. The motion to accept the CapMetro grant passed on a separate motion before the meeting moved to the regular agenda.
