Activities to be performed:
This award will fund transit capital projects including the acquisition of vehicles and equipment.

Expected outcomes:
This award is expected to produce and preserve mobility among visitors to and residents of the state. With the passing of and adjustment to the pandemic, it is expected that ridership numbers will grow throughout the award period or at least during the first phase. This grant's funding, combined with funding from additional grants, will help to achieve a state of good repair for the state's rural transit fleet over the next four years.

Intended beneficiaries:
Mobility in rural areas is particularly important for those populations classified as most vulnerable. Although all funded services under this award will serve the general public, transit propensity will be a key determinant in the level of benefit realized by each demographic. Service provider staff will also benefit from having access to newer and more efficient equipment.

Subrecipient activities:
The grant will fund the activities generally stated under the activities to be performed section. A more detailed description of these items can be described as acquisition of replacement vehicles of various varieties as well as acquisition of equipment (electronic fareboxes and a set of column lifts).
