Application Purpose: This award funds many transportation projects that will address the condition of TARC's most significant assets. It also funds, in part, our paratransit service.

Activities Performed: With the formula funds identified in the application, TARC will:

- Replace buses that are well past their expected minimum life.
- Replace the 15-year-old operational software that allows us to dispatch our buses and to know where they are in real time.
- Better protect our assets by upgrading our facility surveillance and access control systems.
- Replace the 25-year-old heating and ventilating system in our bus storage facility.
- Improve our bus operator training facility and rehabilitate our small vehicle repair facility.
- Support our maintenance and paratransit service.
- Support our purchase of six new long-range battery electric buses.
- Continue to improve the boarding areas and sidewalks along our bus routes.

Expected Outcomes: As a result of the projects funded by this award, the condition of TARC's fixed-route fleet will improve. Its dispatching and passenger information will be more robust and helpful, and some of our most important facilities will become more efficient and productive.

Intended Beneficiaries: TARC's customers and employees, along with all members of our community, will benefit from the projects funded by this award.

Subrecipient Activities: No subrecipient projects will be funded through this grant.
