2019-The Missouri Department of Transportation will receive funding to construct/rehab administration and maintenance facilities for rural transit providers. The facilities will save operational costs compared to using contract services, add efficiencies, and help keep transit buses in a state of good repair. MoDOT was awarded $5,120,000 in FY 2019 through Section 5339 Discretionary Bus Competitive Funds (2019.25.34.BC) to support the purchase/construction of two transit administrative facilities: OATS Inc. and Southeast Missouri Transportation Services Inc. (SMTS). The SMTS St. Francois County facility is estimated at $2,400,000 with the federal portion $1,920,000 to purchase or rehabilitation of an existing facility and the construction of a storage facility immediately at 3343 Commonwelth Rd Park Hill MO. The estimated useful life is 40 years for this project. SMTS will provide local match with donations, local funding sources, fundraising efforts, and reserves. OATS Inc. facility project will be added later through an amendment to this grant. The estimated facility project for OATS Inc. is $4,000,000 with the federal share in the amount $3,200,000 and the local share in the amount of $80,000 through donations, local funding, and reserves.
