Title

A RESOLUTION CONCERNING STATEWIDE SPECIAL TRANSPORTATION ASSISTANCE PROGRAM for the purpose of authorizing the Director of the Prince George’s County Department of Public Works and Transportation to file an application for Fiscal Year 2017 with the Maryland Transit Administration of the Maryland Department of Transportation for certain grants under the Statewide Special Transportation Assistance Program (“SSTAP”) and the Federal Transit Act.

Background

This Resolution is for the purpose of authorizing the Director of the Prince George’s County Department of Public Works and Transportation to file an application with the Maryland Transit Administration of the Maryland Department of Transportation for certain grants under the Statewide Special Transportation Assistance Program (“SSTAP”) and the Federal Transit Act.

 

An application for financial assistance under the SSTAP imposes certain obligations upon the applicant, which includes a local share of costs for certain projects and/or programs.

 

Additionally, the Unites States Department of Transportation, in accordance with the provisions of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, requires an applicant for assistance under the Federal Transit Act to give assurances that it will comply with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the United States Department of Transportation requirements thereunder.
