Microtransit Feasibility Study Grant Program

The Feasibility Study grant will fund planning and analysis for potential integration of microtransit service into existing transit operations. This study will be a comprehensive evaluation of the service model including:

• Public and stakeholder engagement and surveys
• Funding mechanisms & capital needs analysis
• Evaluation of “turnkey" (Mobility as a Service) vs Software as a Service (SaaS)
• Software and technology needs and procurement guidance
• Recommendations for service options (service zones, schedules, fixed-route replacement, driver and vehicle estimates, etc.)
• Guidance for integration with existing services vs. replacement of existing services

The Microtransit Feasibility Study would support agencies who are considering the addition of microtransit service, or replacement of traditional bus services with microtransit. This grant is best suited for agencies who are interested in the microtransit concept, but do not have the capacity & resources to explore further. Feasibility studies are intended to inform transit and community leaders about viable microtransit options given the community, land use, and ridership context. All microtransit implementations are unique to match the circumstances of each community. These studies are valuable decision making tools intended to segue into pilot projects, implementation of microtransit service, or other grant opportunities.

It is important to note the grant is for planning studies only, and does not fund operations or capital needs.

Viable Utility Reserve

What is a Viable System?

A viable system is a utility that functions as a long-term, self-sufficient business enterprise, establishes organizational excellence, and provides appropriate levels of infrastructure maintenance, operation, and reinvestment that allow the utility to provide reliable water services now and in the future.

The viable utility program provides funding to build a path toward viable utility systems using long-term solutions for distressed water and wastewater units in North Carolina.

The State Water Infrastructure Authority and the Local Government Commission have developed criteria to determine how local government units should be assessed for need and eligibility under the Viable Utility Reserve. Identified distressed units must:

• Conduct an asset assessment and rate study
• Participate in a training and educational program, and
• Develop an action plan

The criteria were used to evaluate 496 local government units with water and/or sewer systems. This determination is an important first step in a closer evaluation of the utility's status.

The Viable Utility Reserve provides grants to:

• Physically interconnect and extend public water or wastewater infrastructure to provide regional service.
• Rehabilitate existing public water or wastewater infrastructure.
• Decentralize an existing public water system or wastewater system into smaller viable parts.
• Fund a study of any one or more of the following: rates, asset inventory and assessment, merger, and regionalization options.
• Fund other options deemed feasible which result in local government units generating sufficient revenues to adequately fund management and operations, personnel, appropriate levels of maintenance, and reinvestment that facilitate the provision of reliable water or wastewater services.
• Fund emergency grants for operating deficits.
