Lawsuit update: minutes from TPAC meeting MV Transportation filed lawsuit when not awarded a contract with Transit Plus services – to dispute Transit Plus’s selection process and the adherence to DBE requirement. The FTA sided in favor of MV regarding their DBE dispute (unsure how this affects consumers and cty funding). Result: Transit Plus cannot use federal funds to pay for the current contract. Transit Plus will locally fund the current contracts for 2004 & 2005. Transit Plus signed a Conciliation Agreement with FTA regarding the DBE dispute. The issue of MV not being part of contact selections is still in suit.
