the State and the City within the project and documents local support and match

transit system in the City of </span></font><font size=2><span
style='font-size:11.0pt'>Moscow</span></font><font size=2><span
style='font-size:11.0pt'>, it is appropriate to make improvements along the
routes that will increase the functionality of the system. Initially
these should consist of smaller features such as bus pullouts, bus shelters,
signage, and benches. These types of improvements can improve the level
of service to the customers of the transit system and promote continued
increases in ridership but funding is necessary. Due to the limited
capacity of the City of </span></font><font size=2><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>Moscow</span></font><font
size=2><span style='font-size:11.0pt'> to fund such improvements independently,
staff has been looking for outside funding sources. The most likely of
these sources is the Capital Program under the Transportation Equity Act for
the 21<sup>st</sup> Century (TEA-21). This federal program provides funds
for capital improvements for transit systems. In </span></font><font
size=2><span style='font-size:11.0pt'>Idaho</span></font><font size=2><span
style='font-size:11.0pt'>, the process for applying for these funds is through
a group known as the Community Transit Association of Idaho (CTAI). This
Organization consists of entities throughout the state that are interested in
obtaining funding under this federal program. Each year CTAI makes
application for these federal funds with the assistance of a </span></font><font

consulting firm. In order to pay for the services provided by this consulting
firm, CTAI has to charge a membership fee that will cover the cost of the
consultant contract. The fee charged is proportionate to each
participant’s share of the overall appropriation requested of
Congress. Staff has prepared a proposed project for funding under this
program. </span></font></p>
