Special Notification Requirements for States. This procurement is subsidized with state and federal transit operating funds. Federal grant monies annually ($1,963,356) fund this contract, in whole or in part (Section 5311 - CFDA 20.509). Applicable Federal clauses are set forth in Appendix D of the solicitation.

The reason for this RFP is to provide services for Maritime Metro Transit and the Manitowoc County Aging and Disability Resource Center.
