EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Through the Capital Metro Service Expansion Program, the City of Georgetown uses a combination of FTA and local funds to pay 100 percent of the cost for transit service operated in the city. To use the FTA funds, the city completed and adopted a Transit Development Plan (TDP) in 2016 in compliance with the Capital Metro Service Expansion Policy. Service is operated by CARTS through the CARTS and Capital Metro Regional Mobility Agreement, which is presented in a separate agenda item. Approval of this ILA will provide for of Georgetown Limited Paratransit Service for one year.
