ITEM 1: . Resolution of Support of board to apply for the FY2027 5311 administrative and capital grant.
The total of the FY27 admin grant is $208,260. Federal amount is 166,608 State amount $10,413. The
local match required is $31,239. This is a major source of funding for PATS.
The capital grant amount is not available at this time due to the unknown pricing of replacement vehicles.
This grant PATS would be requesting two vans and one bus. The grant would only require the county to
pay 10% of the cost of the vehicles.
ITEM 2: Resolution of Support for applying for ROAP funds from North Carolina.
The usual time for applying for the funds is before the TAB board’s next meeting. ROAP funds are used
to help offset the cost of fares to the general public and require no local match. The amount awarded to
each county is set by the legislature and changes each year. The EDTAP portion is shared with Person
Industries and the Senior Center.
