Opportunity Summary:
The "Cape Cod Regional Transit Authority Bike Shuttle" notice (Funding Opportunity Number NPS 14 NERO 0065) is a National Park Service announcement that a cooperative agreement award has already been set aside for the Cape Cod Regional Transit Authority (CCRTA). It is not a competitive funding opportunity and it is not seeking applications. Instead, it formally communicates that CCRTA has been designated to carry out work connected to the Outer Cape Bike Shuttle in coordination with Cape Cod National Seashore (CACO), with the overall intent of improving transportation choices and expanding mobility options on the Outer/Lower Cape.
The project centers on keeping the Outer Cape Bike Shuttle running effectively day to day and ensuring it supports broader alternative transportation goals in the region. Under the award, CCRTA is expected to collaborate closely with CACO in a way that aligns with their existing joint transit efforts. CCRTA is responsible for the shuttle's daily operations, ongoing maintenance, and marketing activities, with a strong emphasis on safe and reliable service throughout the operating period. In practical terms, that means CCRTA must ensure the vehicles and service are maintained, properly staffed, and promoted so visitors and residents know how to use the shuttle and can incorporate it into their travel plans.
Beyond operations, the award places significant administrative and oversight responsibilities on CCRTA. CCRTA must perform full grant management duties, including creating a detailed spending plan that must be approved by the National Park Service, submitting invoices on time, and providing trained staff capable of managing the contract and meeting all related compliance requirements. CCRTA also needs to submit ridership documentation and any rider feedback or reviews collected through the contractor, which supports accountability and helps evaluate whether the shuttle is meeting transportation and visitor-use goals.
The agreement also ties the shuttle service to longer-term transportation planning for the Outer/Lower Cape. CCRTA is expected to continue assisting with planning and evaluating alternative transportation strategies and systems, providing quarterly updates that help the Park Service and partners track progress and make adjustments. Marketing support is specifically called out as well, including helping develop and place promotional materials, which suggests the program is intended not only to operate but to grow awareness and usage.
Financially, the announcement lists an estimated total funding amount of $58,087, with both the award ceiling and floor set at $58,087, indicating a single, fixed award amount. The expected number of awards is one. There is no cost sharing or matching requirement noted. The program is associated with CFDA 15.916 (Outdoor Recreation, Acquisition, Development and Planning). The notice was posted June 25, 2014, with a closing date of June 30, 2014, and it was archived July 1, 2014, consistent with an informational posting rather than an open solicitation.
The issuing agency is the National Park Service. For access issues or questions about the announcement, the listed contact is Keith Zotti, Partnership Program Specialist, at 215-597-9153.
