The head of Hall Area Transit services plans to seek $750,000 in federal funds, in large part to expand the service’s hours. It’s the agency’s largest request in more than 10 years. Receiving the grant would require a matching $750,000 in local money, double the amount the city of Gainesville has previously provided.
