PASS -AROUND REVIEW
PASS AROUND TITLE: Weld County UFR MMOF Grant Application - On -Demand Transit Services
DEPARTMENT: Planning Services DATE: 9/23/24
PERSON REQUESTING: Evan Pinkham
Brief description of the problem/issue:
Planning Services is requesting to apply for grant funding in the Upper Front Range TPR MMOF FY 2024-2028
call for projects. Our program application is to extend funding our on -demand transit services in 2027 and 2028.
With this program, Weld County residents in the Upper Front Range TPR boundary can get no cost (to the rider)
on -demand transportation services.
Weld County currently contracts with Via Mobility on this partnership project. We have local match IGAs for
service with Ault, Fort Lupton, Gilcrest, Hudson, Keenesburg, Kersey, Nunn, and Platteville, and intend to
continue this program partnership with this application request. The communities will submit commitment letters
that will be included with the application. Participating communities have shared that they wish to continue the
service because it is a cost-effective way to assist their residents in need since they do not have fixed route
transit services. Each partner community contributes a local match based on their population. The program has
been continually growing, and currently serves 71 individuals living in the Upper Front Range TPR area.
What options exist for the Board?
1. Allow staff to apply for MMOF funding for fiscal years 2027-2028.
2. End the program when current funding is expended (Dec 2026).
Consequences:
If we chose to end the program, people that utilize the service will need to find other forms of transportation.
Impacts:
We have reached out to partner communities, and they would like to continue the program.
Costs (Current Fiscal Year / Ongoing or Subsequent Fiscal Years):
Weld County's 25% local match cost for two years is $43,876.76, which is broken down by year below:
2027 - $20,986.44
2028 - $22,890.32
The total program cost for two years of service (1 Bus) is $553,720. Via Mobility has offered to provide FTA 5311
funding in the amount of $202,500.00 to reduce the cost of the transit service. Expected costs/ local match
requirements are attached to this pass -around.
Recommendation:
Staff's recommendation is to continue the service and apply for funding in FY27 & FY28 Upper Front Range TPR
MMOF call for projects.

disadvantaged community members.
This program will serve many DI communities in Weld County and will serve many
disadvantaged community members. A relatively high percent of the population within the
