Transportation agency accepting applications for its Kaua‘i Bus Pass Outreach Program

The County of Kaua‘i Transportation Agency will be accepting applications from Kaua‘i-based non-profit organizations for its Kaua‘i Bus Pass Outreach Program beginning Nov. 1.

The program’s funding period is from Dec. 1 through June 30 of next year. The intent of the Kaua‘i Bus Pass Outreach Program is to provide free or discounted bus passes to those with transportation needs through eligible non-profit organizations.

To be eligible, applicants must be tax-exempt under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Additionally, applications must be submitted via the Kaua‘i County Connect online system, https://connect.kauai.gov/ site by clicking on the Kaua‘i Bus icon, then on the Kaua‘i Bus Pass Outreach Program Application icon.

The deadline to apply is Nov. 17.

All applications will be reviewed and scored by a selection panel. Scoring will be based on the applicant’s program information, including what service the applicant provides to the community and how many community members would benefit from the Kaua‘i Bus Pass Outreach Program.
