These monies, derived from the Federal Transit Administration, will be used to supplement the Job Access and Reverse Commute (JARC) grant that was recently appropriated into the operating budget. The JARC grant is intended to provide increased transportation services for working commuters and for those seeking employment and its funding provides the operating costs to establish additional routes and frequency of bus service, which include additional weekday and weekend service. Enclosed is a resolution to authorize the Mayor to enter into an agreement with the State of Hawai'i Department of Transportation for this grant. Also enclosed is a bill for an ordinance amending the Operating Budget by appropriating the grant award to the Mass Transit account.
