Title
Resolution to Transfer Light Transit Vehicle to Isothermal Community College
body
Summary:
summary
Rutherford County Transit is requesting approval to transfer one 25-foot Light Transit Vehicle (LTV) to Isothermal Community College. Transfers to a state agency are allowable under NCDOT disposition guidelines. Although Transit typically sells surplus vehicles to generate local match funds for replacements, this request represents a strategic exception. ICC has established a new CDL training program that provides a valuable workforce development opportunity. The program will allow Transit to send current and prospective drivers, as well as members of the public, to obtain their CDL license, helping address our ongoing driver shortage. This transfer supports a mutually beneficial partnership to strengthen the local transportation workforce. The vehicle has met its NCDOT-defined useful life requirements, and a replacement 25-foot LTV has already been received and placed into revenue service. A resolution approving the transfer is included for the Board’s consideration.
