Bacon, Jr., City Manager <br /> George C. Weaver, Director of Department of Community Developmen + <br /> Robert S. Reed, Mass Transit Administrator <br /> Subject: Mass Transit Capital Grant Application <br /> Upon City Council approval, the attached resolution will authorize the filing of a mass <br /> transit capital grant application with the Illinois Department of Transportation. The application <br /> will request $800,000 in federal Section 3 funds and $200,000 in State funds for a multi-modal <br /> transportation center. <br /> The site for the center will accomodate 13 buses where passengers can transfer from one <br /> route to another. In addition to a passenger waiting area, the facility will have an area where the <br /> transit system can sell passes, punchcards, and tokens, as well as provide information and route <br /> and schedule maps. There will also be space for other modes of transportation, such as intercity <br /> buses, taxi-cabs, bicycles, etc. <br /> The Illinois Department of Transportation will submit a single Section 3 grant <br /> application to the Federal Transit Administration for all of the capital projects in the State. It <br /> will probably be the summer of 1995 before a grant award is made. <br />
