This grant will utilize FFY 2015 5339 funds in the amount of $9,857,731 to purchase replacement hybrid electric transit buses for the Suffolk County Transit Bus System and replacement paratransit vehicles for the Suffolk County Accessible Transportation (SCAT) Paratransit System.

These FFY 2015 funds were originally allocated to the MTA but were swapped with an equal amount of Suffolk County's FFY 2016 and 2017 5307, 5337, and 5339 funds. This swap was memorialized through NYMTC PFAC Resolution #470 (copy attached to this application), which includes a financial breakdown of funds that were transferred. The funding split is anticipated to be 80%/10%/10% (federal/state/county).

As of June 2018, there are three private contractors which provide local public transit bus route operations, bus maintenance, dispatching, and other related services for the county. One contractor is also responsible for paratransit operations, including reservation dispatching, bus maintenance, and other related services.

This application for 5339 federal assistance is consistent with the NYMTC PFAC sub-allocation resolution dated 6/28/18 (attached to this application).
