Committee backs transit amendment to renovate Le Moine Transfer Center with federal 5339 funds

The Tri-County technical committee on April 10 recommended adoption of a transit amendment to fund renovations at the Le Moine Transfer Center using prior-year federal Section 5339 funds and required state and local match.

Ted, presenting the amendment, said SRTA will move unused prior-year Section 5339 apportionments with state and local match to federal fiscal year 2026. He reported the federal portion for this project as $742,680 and described the work as renovations to improve rider transfers and support more efficient service. Ted summarized: "The funds for this project are to fund renovations at the existing transfer center in Le Moine to improve public transit connectivity."

The committee moved and seconded the recommendation and approved forwarding the amendment to the coordinating committee by voice vote. No roll-call tally was recorded in the transcript. Staff said the amendment will be included in the packet for coordinating-committee adoption.

Next steps: the amendment will be forwarded to the coordinating committee for formal adoption; SRTA and local partners will proceed with planning and schedule work to align with the FY2026 federal funding timeline.
