Specifically, the grant will allow MoDOT to maintain implementation of MAP-21/PTASP safety regulations and perform risk-based inspections for these transit agencies. This funding, which includes a $339,069 local match, will cover salaries, fringe benefits, and contracted program support to ensure continuous improvement in the safety of Missouri's rail transit systems. Additionally, MoDOT has awarded a $X,XXX sub-grant to Pony Bird Inc., a non-profit organization, to acquire a non-accessible vehicle supporting transportation for seniors and individuals with disabilities.
