CURRENT SERVICE DESCRIPTION PAGE 12
A. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION
Weld County Division of Human Resources (WCDHR) is a non profit
governmental agency. The Executive Director is hired by the Weld County
Board of Commissioners. The Board of Commissioners is the legal grantee
for all funds dispersed to WCDHR and is the legal policy making Board for
the Division. WCDHR is responsible for a wide range of public assistance
programs funded primarily with federal funds. However, state and local
funds are awarded to the organization as well. The total budget of Human
Resources averages 5 million per year.
The WCDHR Transportation Program began in 1973 with 3 mini buses used
primarily for the elderly and handicapped and provided services county
wide. In March of 1975 this operation was combined with the Head Start
transportation operation increasing the fleet to 8 vehicles. Between 1976
and 1979 the program grew to include transportation services for the
Summer Migrant Head Start Program, the Senior Nutrition Program of the
Area Agency on Aging, the Welfare Diversion Program (currently called New
Directions) with the Employment Services Unit, and services through a
major contract with the Weld County Community Center Board, now called
Centennial Developmental Services, Inc. In 1990 the WCDHR Transportation
Program was awarded first time FTA Section 18 funds to expand services to
the general public in designated rural areas of Weld County.
The WCDHR Transportation staff includes a full time coordinator, 2 full
time dispatchers, 2 full time drivers, and 28 part time drivers. WCDHR
vehicles are included under a single contract to maintain all of Weld
County's vehicles. Mechanics are assigned to service the vehicles from a
pool of mechanics. Office support is provided from the main office of
WCDHR for administrative, secretarial, personnel, and fiscal support. A
proportionate share of FTE time of service from these functions is
allocated to transportation overhead based on time accounting completed on
a monthly basis by the fiscal staff.
B. CURRENT LEVELS OF SERVICE
The boundaries of Weld County delineate the primary service area for the
WCDHR Transportation Program, however, because of service needs for the
Summer Migrant Head Start Program, the Employment Program, and health
service related trips for the elderly and disabled, vehicles travel to
Larimer, Boulder, Adams, Arapahoe, and Denver Counties. Within Weld
County all areas are covered with somewhat less frequent service to the
far eastern and northern sectors of the county. According to the 1990
census figures, the total population of Weld County is at 131,821 persons.
The Transportation Program is open five days per week, 52 weeks per year.
During the summer buses begin routes as early as 4:00 a.m. and end routes
as late as 8:30 p.m. In the winter some routes will begin at 5:00 a.m.
and end at 6:30 p.m. Special requests for service are handled on weekends
and evenings. The number of routes per day average between 135 and 150.
940301
PAGE 12A
Peak service is early morning, noon, and late afternoon. Every attempt is
made to schedule service to the elderly and disabled and the public
between these peak hours of demand. Seasonal fluctuations have been
minimized due to the growth of the Summer Migrant Head Start Program which
has been extended over a larger portion of the summer. Other factors
which influence fluctuations in service is the Christmas holiday season
when many programs are closed for vacations and when there are transition
days between the beginning and ending times of programs usually associated
with program or school years.
D. CURRENT VEHICLE USAGE
The number of vehicles used in regular daily service currently averages
between 36 and 39 vehicles. At peak hours an average of 32 vehicles are
utilized. During our slowest periods of the day an average of 20 vehicles
are utilized. Three (3) vehicles are designated as "backup" for
breakdowns and when vehicles are scheduled for regular maintenance.
E. MARKETING
Marketing of the program occurs through regular communication with Human
Service groups such as the Long Term Coordinating Committee (meets
monthly) , the Weld County Senior Aide Coordinators (meets monthly) , the
Transit Committee (meets monthly) , announcements in county newspapers
(publish weekly) , Senior Center newsletters (published monthly) and the
Mini Bus Brochure.
Agency vehicles are marked with the Weld County Government Seal. Vehicles
are not specifically marked as open to the public; however the Weld County
Seal indicates that the vehicle is government owned and operated.
The majority of riders are categorized as special populations which
include, children, youth, unemployed in training, physically and mentally
disabled, and elderly. The general public is welcome on non contracted
routes (those supported in part by Section 18 funds) . The availability of
this service is communicated through local newspapers, newsletters,
network meetings, and a brochure. (See Attachments A and B)
940301
PROPOSED PROJECT PAGE 13
A. PROPOSED SERVICE FOR FY 1995
The Grantee will operate a modified demand response system (our term to
describe regular routes to rural towns which are built around a call in
system to a local coordinator) for the residents of Weld County excluding
the City of Greeley. This service will be available to both incorporated
and unincorporated areas of the county.
This service shall be available to the general public with a significant
number of ridership being comprised of elderly, disabled, and low income
individuals.
The Weld County Transportation System will provide service in rural Weld
County through the following route schedule:

Wheelchair Lift Requests Demand Response 3.80 vehicles
We are applying for FTA funds to fund a proportionate share of the total
Minibus system, excluding any services we provide contractually for
special populations.
940391
RYE 13A
B. The above route system represents a significant increase in contacts with
many of the rural communities over those actually proposed for FY 1994.
The towns with an asterisk beside the name in the above chart represents
a town where the level of service has been increased. We are seeking, with
the 1995 proposal, to maintain the increased level of service and to
increase our capability to respond to wheelchair lift requests. In 1994 we
are operating four wheelchair lift vans, 2.80 on the road continuously
with 1.20 back up. We propose, if funded, to increase this service by 20
hours per week.
The justification for increased service to the rural communities and the
increased need for wheelchair lift service is simply based on increased
requests for service. With the wheelchair lift service, we are having to
deny service or put people on waiting lists. This demand increase is
based primarily on the changing demographics which is due to the aging of
the population and particularly the increased frailty of the very old
which is growing the fastest.
C. CAPITAL EQUIPMENT REQUEST
We are requesting $13,750 to fund a share of the cost of a wheelchair lift
van with tie downs. This van would be added to our current fleet of four
(4) to increase the availability of wheelchair accessible service to the
elderly and disabled eligible for Section 18 service by 20 hours per week.
This would be an expansion vehicle.
We are asking for $5000 to pay for a proportionate share of a
transportation computer software package. To date the Weld system
operates manually. This software system would give us the capability to
develop a comprehensive data base on all riders as well as generate a
variety of reports needed for funding agencies and needed for planning
purposes.
D. We are requesting $5000 rehabilitation funds to replace a wheelchair lift
into our one wheelchair backup vehicle. The work would be accomplished in
the first quarter of 1995. The vehicle would remain as a backup vehicle.
The replacement would increase the reliability of the vehicle.
E. ADA COMPLIANCE
Program Service for Persons With Disabilities
Four wheelchair accessible vans are available for the physically disabled.
Two wheelchair vans are on the road full time. One van is utilized part
time and the fourth van is available as a stand by or back up vehicle.
The wheelchair vans are available to the general public as needed. Also,
the Weld County Transportation System has a contract with Centennial
Developmental Services, Inc. (CDSI) to provide transportation to the
developmentally disabled. Transportation services are provided daily
throughout the county to transport CDSI clients. If funded, this service
would increase by one vehicle in 1995.
9403')l
PAGE 13B
The service to persons with disabilities does not differ from the service
offered to persons without disabilities. Schedules, response time,
geographic area served, days of service, availability of information,
reservation capability, and trip purpose are handled in the same way as
for the general public.
Drivers receive training in Passenger Assistance, CPR, First Aid, and
Defensive Driving. Drivers also receive "notice sheets" on a daily basis
notifying them of special situations to be aware of on a given route.
Plans are being made for new office quarters that would include a training
room for both formal and informal training sessions. Also available will
be a portable VCR to accommodate the use of training videos on an
individual or group basis.
The wheelchair vehicles are maintained by TCOM who has the vehicle
maintenance contract for Weld County and the City of Greeley. (This is a
joint cooperative contract. ) TCOM employees are certified to maintain
wheelchair vehicles.

COORDINATION OF SERVICES PAGE 14
The WCDHR Transportation Program has been designed to minimize duplication of
service. Through centralized management and planning no program has ownership
or monopoly of a van. Schedules are prepared based on the most cost efficient
manner of providing the service. The result is that a single transportation
fleet serves Head Start, Migrant Head Start, Senior Nutrition, the Elderly and
Disabled of rural Weld, the Summer Youth Employment Program, the New Directions
Program, Supplemental Foods, and Centennial Developmental Services Inc. , and the
general public.
A. Description of Coordination Activities
Centennial Developmental Services, Inc. - This marks the seventh year that
CDSI has purchased transportation from our system. Because of the high
amount of service needed to run this program a significant degree of
duplication is avoided. First, CDSI would have to have a Transportation
Coordinator to manage the vans and routes needed. By purchasing
transportation from Weld County we all enjoy the economy of scale that
comes from combining our efforts. One set of administrative overhead
costs are incurred rather than two. This includes staffing, capital
equipment purchases, and insurance. In addition, because CDSI has clients
located all over the county, we are able to give rides to other clients
while the bus is in the same area, thus making each ,of our routes more
efficient and cost effective. This contract is updated annually.
Family Educational Network of Weld County
Head Start - Again, this is a very big program (600-700 children)
that requires massive amounts of transportation service. Head Start
has been purchasing transportation from the Weld County System for
18 years. Duplication of administrative overhead, equipment
purchases, and insurance is saved by combining systems. Weld County
government is self insured. With insurance costs rising every year,
all programs realize a savings under our system. Note this program
is in an expansion mode, as much as 20% in 1995.
Migrant Head Start - For many years the Migrant Program ran their
own transportation system during the summer months while the WCDHR
program during the same summer months would experience significant
down time because regular Head Start was closed. When we added
Migrant Head Start, we filled a gap in our scheduling, by replacing
the regular Head Start service with a summer program.
Colorado Preschool - This service was started in February of 1990.
We currently have two locations for this program, Gilcrest and the
Greeley Head Start Center. The children are brought in from several
different areas such as Kersey, Evans, Gilcrest, and Greeley. We
run this program with several of our other programs, that is
children are transported along with regular Head Start children,
CDSI children, and employment services clients.
9403"'1
PetE 149
Weld BOCES - This service is for special needs children who attend
Head Start. This new service represents a small contract with Weld
BOCES to serve approximately 20 special needs children.
MIGRANT HEAD START PROGRAM (GRAND JUNCTION)
The summer Migrant Head Start Program for Grand Junction has been
awarded to the Weld County Family Care Network. The administrative
infrastructure and responsibilities will be added to current Weld
staff. This includes transportation which will be subcontracted to
a transportation provider in the Grand Junction area. Weld
transportation staff will assist with carrying out this agreement.
This "long distance" coordination will realize savings to the
Migrant Head Start grant to Colorado by eliminating duplication of
administrative overhead. The outcome of the transportation
coordination will be evaluated at the end of the migrant season in
Fall, 1994.
Employment Services - For approximately 7 years the Transportation Unit
has provided service to Job Diversion (now New Directions) clients to
transport them to workshops and job sites.
City of Greeley - The City of Greeley contracts wjth Weld County to
provided a connecting service from their last stop on North 11th Avenue to
the new Weld County Government Offices Complex which is another 1.5 miles
beyond this stop. Weld County provides an hourly shuttle service to the
City for $8,500 annually. The City has stated that it would cost them
$40,000 annually to provide the same service through their fixed route
system. A single Greeley/Weld County TDP is currently out to bid. Both
systems see this first time effort as advantageous to us. Many duplicate
hours of generating two separate bid processes and two separate TDP
documents will be eliminated. The process will also help us realize areas
of cooperation and coordination that may be open to us.
In addition to the above coordination efforts, the City of Greeley and the
County of Weld are also engaged in a Transportation Consolidation Study
funded by the City of Greeley and assisted by Leigh, Scott, and Cleary
Transportation Consultants. Two Technical Memos have been issued and the
committee is seriously studying areas of greater coordination.
Subcommittees are meeting to develop plans for possible consolidation of
despatching, training, and maintenance. This is only in the planning
stage is indicative of the openness to system change in Weld County.
Sumner Youth Program - This program begins in June and continues through
August. The Transportation Program brings youth from all over the county
into Greeley for special needs classes and self-help classes. Generally
the buses run full on these trips, not allowing for combining with other
transportation situations. All services are charged to the Summer Youth
Program of the Employment and Training Grant, under the Job Training
Partnership Act.
94Q3t,'i
PACE 148
Senior Nutrition Program - In 1993 the Weld County Transportation Program
transported 75,000 meals to 20 meal sites throughout Weld County. These
routes are daily Monday through Friday and occur between the 11:00 a.m.
and 2:00 p.m. time frame. It is also possible on these routes, to
transport riders into Greeley when drivers return the food containers to
the UNC kitchen.
B. Result of Coordination Efforts
In many areas the above programs operate separate transportation systems.
In Weld County a single system has evolved over the years eliminating
waste in terms of duplicate administrative costs. Programs benefit cost
wise and by not having to devote staff resources to the complexities of
operating a transportation system. Real savings are realized from the In-
Kind contribution of Weld County Government through large bid purchases,
donated parking and office space, reduced per gallon cost for gas, and the
spreading of administrative costs over many programs.
C. Difficulties Encountered in Coordination Efforts
Overall the "transportation community" is supportive. Conversations with
the City of Greeley to explore areas of cooperation have gone beyond the
exploratory stage. At the City's initiative, the consulting team of
Leigh, Scott, and Cleary has been hired to conduct a consolidation study
which includes the City of Greeley, Weld County, and School District #6.
A Consolidation Study Committee has been meeting for several months. The
committee is comprised of representatives from each of the three entities
including elected officials an District #6 School Board Members. The
Second Technical Memo has been issued. Between now and July several sub-
committees will be meeting to write plans on consolidation of training,
dispatch, handicapped services, and maintenance.
As this planning process continues there will be many obstacles to
overcome, the politics of consolidation being the greatest. As mentioned
earlier, the parties have entered the discussions with commitment to at
least address some short range objectives.
D. Transportation Advisory Committee
The original advisory committee appointed during the TDP process
disbanded. The Weld County Division of Human Resources Advisory Board has
been designated to carry out the duties of the Transportation Advisory
Committee. This Committee consists of nine (9) community members who are
appointed by the Board of County Commissioners. The committee meets
monthly and is attended by a county commissioner representative.
The Transportation Coordinator reports to the committee on a monthly basis
updating the committee on the activities of the Transportation Program.
The committee also reviews all policies and procedures and comments on
such policies before they are implemented. Staff receives and accepts
suggestions from the community members on ways to expand and improve
services.
94030'1
WILE 14C
During 1994 this committee reviewed and adopted a revised set of
transportation policies. The committee is also acting in an advisory
capacity in regard to the joint City/Weld TDP bid process, and to Weld
representatives of the Transportation Consolidation Committee.

D. OTHER INFORMATION
Degree of Need for Transit Service
It is the goal of the Weld County Transportation Program to have some
visible level of public transportation available to each of the population
centers and the surrounding unincorporated areas of the population
centers. The Weld County Area Agency on Aging, through a variety of
formal and informal needs assessments continues to conclude that home
health care, respite care, and transportation are the highest need
categories for our county. In many areas, such as the Tri Town and Erie
communities; transportation is the highest priority. In our recent TDP
Update it was noted that the single most unmet need noted by
transportation staff, based on calls to their office, is for wheelchair
service. This remains true to date and explains our request for funds to
expand our wheelchair lift service.
Why Need?
We attribute the need for transportation in this county to a variety of
factors which are as follows:
(Size of the County) Weld County encompasses 4004 square
miles. It is the third largest county in the nation, as large
as the State of Connecticut. There are approximately 27 small
incorporated towns scattered throughout the county. Many
communities are over one hour from the county seat, Greeley.
Citizens in the southern and northeastern sections of the
county experience the most isolation and frustration over
transportation needs.
(Demographics) Persons between the ages of 75 and 85 years are
increasing three times faster than all other age cohorts. The
revised 1992 population estimates show Weld at 18,813 60 plus.
Persons 75 plus are estimated at 6,186 or 32% of the older
adult population. Statistics also show that Weld has 3.85% of
60 plus frail and disabled. This age category typically have
increased chronic illness and frailties. As this age cohort
increases, the need for services increases, as well.
South Weld County because of its borders with Adams and
Boulder Counties is experiencing the greatest growth.
Pressures for services in all areas including transportation
are expressly felt in south Weld County.
Volunteers recruited through the rural senior centers are
reimbursed 25 cents per mile to help with transportation
requests. Approximately $8,000 per year is set aside from the
CSBG grant to cover this expense. Ironically is the oldest
volunteers who are most available to do this transportation,
but the least capable over time.
9403' 1
EWE i
It is difficult to recruit younger volunteers because most are
working. The young/old are traveling and often are reluctant
to make regular commitments. This does not mean that we are
not continually recruiting new volunteers, we are. It is,
however, becoming a less dependable resource.
(Safety concerns) With the increasing numbers of very old
persons, the safety of these individuals driving - that is
safety to themselves and others - is a very serious
consideration. We have documented two serious accidents that
occurred in two of our northern communities that involved very
aged drivers.
(Dependency) With the exception of the towns of Windsor, Fort
Lupton, Hudson (very limited) , and Platteville, there is no
other access to public transportation outside the urbanized
Greeley/Evans district. The Town of Windsor operates a car to
transport seniors to the nutrition site and to doctor's
appointments. Fort Lupton and Hudson Housing Authorities
provide their vans for senior transportation. It is not a
public service. The Platteville senior citizens recently
received a gift of a van from a private donor. In each
community the County System provides additional service. The
County Transportation System is a necessary service for every
rural community in Weld County.
Curtailed
There has been no curtailment of services during the past
year.

FINANCIAL JUSTIFICATION PAGE 16
A. FISCAL RESOURCES OF THE APPLICANT
Medicaid - Application considered - determined to be not worth the
paperwork for the amount recovered.
Title III - For several years the Area Agency on Aging was able to provide
monies to reimburse volunteer drivers. In 1987, due to demands for home
health care for the frail elderly, this support source was shifted to the
Community Service Block Grant. As a resource Title III is becoming less
and less of a possibility. The Title III program has not realized a real
increase in funds since 1980. We do, however, transport meals to senior
nutrition meal sites at a cost of $41,250 to Title III in 1995.
Community Development Block Grant - Not a direct transportation resource
in this county; however several rural communities such as Johnstown and
Mead have tapped into this fund for monies to build community/senior
center buildings. These Centers then become pick up points for riders.
Community Service Block Grant - The Transportation Program will allocate
$85000 in costs to CSBG to subsidize transportation for the elderly and
disabled in 1995. Another $8000 will be allocated to the WELDCOS (Rural
Senior Coordinators) to reimburse volunteer drivers at 25 cents per mile.
United Way - Historically United Way has not awarded funds for
transportation services in Weld County.
City Governments - The Greeley Bus, operates two services within Greeley
and Evans; a fixed-route system carrying over 425,000 passengers annually
including wheelchair trips. Demands for this service continues to
increase. Our agreement with the City is to serve the rural areas outside
of their target area. A purchase of service agreement with the City of
Greeley (1990) provides that the City reimburse the County Transportation
Program up to $8,650 in 1995 for a connecting route service that is
scheduled hourly between the Department of Social Services (last stop for
the City) and the Division of Human Resources. This additional income has
been helpful to the Weld County Transportation Program.
County Government - The WELDCOS Senior Aide Coordinators receive $11,500
from general funds annually from the Board of County Commissioners for
senior center operations. Although these funds do not go directly for
transportation, Senior Coordinators, working from their respective
centers, are the local schedulers for transportation requests. This
information is communicated to the Transportation Director on a weekly
basis.
An additional $77,331 will be contributed by the County with donated
office and parking space (for buses) , the Weld County gas and license
plate discounts, and donated utilities in 1995.
9403!J1
IWE IfA
Community Center Board - The Weld County Community Center Board or
Centennial Developmental Services, Inc. contracts with the Weld County
Transportation Program for services. This contract averages 78,000
passenger trips annually and will realize $22,167 per month in
reimbursement to the program.
Mental Health Center - We have minimum requests for service from this
agency. No funds.
Local civic groups/clubs - The Town of Fort Lupton Housing Authority
provides van services for the elderly for shopping and medical
appointments on a daily basis. The Platteville Senior Citizens were
recently given a new van from a private donor to be used for
transportation needs of the elderly in the Platteville area. The Housing
Authority of Hudson, Colorado secured a van through the State Surplus
Division to transport seniors for medical and shopping appointments within
the immediate area. The Town of Windsor provides a car and two part time
drivers to transport seniors to local grocery stores and to necessary
medical appointments outside of Windsor.
Job Training Partnership Act - The Employment Training Programs of Weld
County utilize the Transportation Program to transport Summer Youth to job
sites. The projected income from this source for 1995 is $8,000.
Head Start - The Head Start Program is an important source of income for
the Transportation Program. The 1995 estimated income is $232,766 up from
1994. The Head Start Program is undergoing significant expansion for
1995, as much as 20%. This expansion is likely to increase as there are
discussions underway to make Head Start a year around program.
Preschool Program - The Colorado Pre School Program which is run in
conjunction with the Head Start Program is a relatively new source of
income for the Transportation Program. The 1995 estimated income is
$28,300.
Migrant Head Start - Migrant Head Start is a summer program for children
of migrant workers. This is a very beneficial service for the
Transportation Program because it adds a service during the summer when
the regular Head Start Program is not in operation. This gives more
consistency and uniformity to our system. Projected income for 1995 is
$144,395. This is another program that is expanding. Saturday service
will be offered in 1995.

B. DEFICIT
The plan of service is the minimum needed to meet the increasing demands
for the Minibus Service. If funded at the level requested we will be able
to maintain our current service plan and expand our wheelchair service to
the elderly and disabled by 20 hours per week.
C. NEW SECTION 18 APPLICANT
N/A
D. REVENUES AND CONTRACT RESOURCES
A donation system similar to the ticket purchasing system utilized by the
Northeast Colorado Transportation System will be operational by January,
1995.
We provide transportation for many other organizations both "in house" and
outside of the agency. In house service is allocated to the grant which
is the funding source. For example, transportation provided to Head Start
and Migrant Head Start is charged back to their respective grants. The
Transportation Coordinator tracks mileage, trips, and individuals served
by each grant to insure that a fair and equitable allocation occurs per
program. Currently this is done manually. The transportation software
package that we are looking at would streamline the documentation of this
effort.
We have contracts with Centennial Developmental Services, Inc. of Weld
County and with the City of Greeley. All groups, both in house programs
and outside agencies are charged at a rate which covers the full and
complete cost of the service. The average reimbursement rate across all
programs for 1993 was $1.11 per mile. The mileage rate is based on
operating costs, overhead, and vehicle replacement costs.
Section 18 funds are helping to support the part of our transportation
system which provides services to the general public with emphasis on the
elderly and disabled. This component of our transportation program is
also supported by Community Service Block Grant monies in the amount of
$43,122 allocated directly for E & H service and $8000 for mileage
reimbursement for volunteer drivers. Weld County government provides
$72,680 in local support.

B. METHODS TO ACCOUNT FOR INCOME AND EXPENSES
WCDHR has a sophisticated general ledger system with a specified chart of
accounts. Transportation has its own department in the ledger with
several specific revenue and expense line item accounts.
All revenue is deposited weekly with documentation to the County, who in
turn records it into WCDHR's general ledger, to the accounts listed in the
documentation. WCDHR reconciles the documentation copies to the ledger.
All revenue is posted to the ledger department it corresponds to.
Expenses processed through WCDHR are handled in a similar fashion.
Billing is processed through the department with back up and is sent to
the County Accounting Office. The County, using strong internal controls,
inters the expense into the ledger by department and line item listed on
the documentation. Another section at the County Office issues the
warrants. WCDHR's warrant register is reconciled monthly to assure the
posting is correct.
Operating and capital expenses are easily identified in the Transportation
Department by specific line item listings. Administrative expenses are
allocated quarterly to the Transportation Department from the
administrative cost pool using time sheet percentages. The costs are
easily recognizable as administrative by a number project code on each
administrative line item.
C. SAFETY AND RISK MANAGEMENT PROCEDURES
Weld County Division of Human Resources is a Department under Weld County
Government. Our financial accounting system is part of the Weld County
financial system. The entire system is organized to provide extreme
segregation of duties and implements several systems of checks and
balances on the cash flow.

t - ' William H. Webster, Chairman
Board of County Commissioners Date March 30, 1995
To
COLORADO From Walter J. Speckman, Executive Director, Human Resources kid(
Grant Application for 1995 Section 18 FTA Funds
Subject:
Enclosed for Board approval is a grant application to the Colorado
Department of Transportation for Section 18 FTA (Federal Transportation
Administration) funds to support transportation services to the elderly
and disabled of rural Weld County.
We are requesting $63,730 to maintain current service levels and to pay
for a proportionate share of a wheelchair lift van, a wheelchair lift
replacement for an existing vehicle, and a transportation data base
software package.
The application is consistent with the needs of the Weld County Transit
Development Plan and the transportation goals of the Area Agency on Aging.
Section 18 funds under the FTA are competitive: funding levels are not
guaranteed.
Please call Linda Piper at 353-3816, extension 3320, if you have further
questions.
