Comment Opportunity - In November of 2020, the DNR posted a short video announcing that it is considering changes in its funding allocation plan to reallocate funds from undersubscribed programs to other categories.  Specifically, the DNR has identified about $5.1 million in unspent funds that could be reallocated with most of the unspent funds currently allocated for transit and shuttle buses, and airport ground service equipment.  The DNR is asking stakeholders to provide input by December 11 using a SURVEY  form posted on its website and has indicated it will hold a virtual meeting later in the month to discuss survey results and next steps
