BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The City of Lodi currently has an executed master agreement with Caltrans for Local Assistance projects. Previously, the City had not received any funding from the Public Transit Account (PTA). Recently, the City was allocated PTA funding for the maintenance facility. That funding can not be accessed until these agreements are in place. The master agreements detail all of the reporting requirements (matching funds, ADA, etc) that are required to utilize State transit funding. The master agreements are good for ten years and cover all eligible projects awarded to the City of Lodi which utilize State Transit funds. The program supplements are required for each project and clearly state the individual projects scope, local match requirements. and deadlines. A new program supplement is required for each project. FISCAL IMPACT: Failure to execute the master agreements and program supplements would prohibit the City from utilizing State funds for Transit projects, which currently include $1.85 million in funding for the Municipal Service Center (MSC) Transit Vehicle Maintenance Facility.
