Riley County commissioners on Monday approved sending a letter requesting a grant for the Flint Hills Area Transportation Agency.

“So this is for services outside of Manhattan,” she said. “Basically, Manhattan has urbanized funding, and so this would be northern county, any rural areas outside of Manhattan, Ogden and part of western Pottawatomie County.”
