81. APPROVAL TO SUBMIT APPLICATION FOR GRANT FUNDING TO ARIZONA LOTTERY FUNDS FOR TRANSPORTATION SERVICES Request approval to submit a grant application and receipt of Arizona Lottery Funds (ALF) for FY2025 transportation services for individuals with Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) certifications. Transportation services shall be provided by Valley Metro and administered by Public Transportation Authority (RPTA). Grant application requested amount is $804,040, all funds shall be utilized for the provision of transportation services and do not contain Administrative or Indirect funds. Also request authorization for the Chairman to sign all documents related to the grant funding and authorize the Chief Financial Officer to sign financial documents related to this Grant. The Human Services Department shall submit the Grant application on behalf of the County. If the grant application is approved and Maricopa County is awarded the ALF grant, funds shall be held in trust and RPTA shall administer the grant funds on behalf of the County and will oversee the delivery of transportation services provided by Valley Metro. Valley Metro (VM) has traditionally provided supplemental funds from ADA Public Transportation Funds (PTF) and Maricopa Association of Governments (MAG) Section 5310 Enhanced Mobility for Seniors and Persons with Disabilities Grant Program funds. Receipt of grant funds are reoccurring on an annual basis and awarded through a competitive process. A cash or in-kind match is not required. Indirect costs are not recoverable as all funds are designated for service delivery. Future or ongoing contributions are not required after the grant period ends. Services provided under this grant are not mandated services but do provide a benefit for residents in unincorporated areas of the County, with ADA certifications that have limited options for transportation. If awarded the ALF Grant total costs to the County will be $804,040. Transportation services are provided by Valley Metro. Supervisory District: All (C-22-25-038-X-00)
