Person County transportation staff presented the county’s FY2028 5311 Community Transportation Program application and the board voted to approve submission and authorize the local match commitments.
The presenter said PATS (county transit) provided about 53,000 rides and drove over 399,000 miles in the fiscal year referenced. Staff described two grant categories: administrative projects (with a 15% local match) and a capital grant for technology upgrades (with a 10% local match). The board opened the required public hearing; no members of the public signed up. After brief discussion the board approved the application by voice vote and authorized staff to submit the grant to the North Carolina Department of Transportation.
