EXPLANATION OF STRATEGIC ALIGNMENT: This ILA will provide limited paratransit and senior service in the City of Georgetown made possible by sharing FTA Section 5307 funds with the City of Georgetown through the CapMetro Service Expansion Program. The Services were recommended as part of the Georgetown Transit Development Plan, which was developed in accordance with the CapMetro Service Expansion Policy.
BUSINESS CASE: As the FTA Designated Recipient for the Urbanized Area Formula Funding program (49 U.S.C. 5307) for the Austin Urbanized Area, CapMetro is responsible for allocating Section 5307 funds within the urbanized area. The 2020 Census designated Georgetown as part of the Austin Urbanized Area, and the City desires to use Section 5307 funds to support limited paratransit and senior service. Georgetown has met all the requirements to participate in the Service Expansion Program.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION: The item was presented and recommended for approval by the Operations, Planning and Safety Committee on September 10, 2025.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Through the CapMetro Service Expansion Program, the City of Georgetown uses a combination of FTA Section 5307 funds and local funds to pay 100 percent of the cost for transit service operated in the City. To use the FTA Section 5307 Funds, the City completed and adopted a Transit Development Plan (TDP) in 2016 and updated it in 2024 in compliance with the CapMetro Service Expansion Policy. Service is operated by CARTS through the CARTS and CapMetro Regional Mobility Agreement, which is presented in a separate agenda item. Approval of this ILA will provide for the City of Georgetown Limited Paratransit and Senior Service for Fiscal Year 2026.
