Award Description: This project will provide funds to invest in public transportation. Johnson County Transit will use the funds to acquire one low floor 40-foot wheelchair accessible bus. The bus will replace a vehicle that has met its 12-year useful life. The new bus will meet the Clean Air Act standards and the Americans with Disabiliites Act requirements.
