"To implement this plan it is first necessary for us to receive federal funds from the Department of Transportation," A.T. Stoddard, vice president of LSC Transportation Consultants, Inc., said."We need this funding to provide transportation in the five-county area for people who don't have their own, including those who are handicapped and seniors."
