Public notice is hereby made that the City of Sedona is applying for FTA Rural Public Transportation Program funds, authorized under 49 U.S.C. Section 5311, for Administration and Planning for a new transit system in Sedona.   

The funds will be used towards administration costs, operating costs for the Sedona Shuttle transit services and a potential Sedona Circulator fixed-route, and capital costs for five new ADA-accessible cutaway vehicles. The project is expected to be financed by FTA Section 5311 Rural Program public transportation funds, with additional matching funds to be provided by the City of Sedona. The total federal share for administration, operating, and capital funds over two years is expected not to exceed $2.5 million.
