AGENDA TITLE: Adopt Resolution Authorizing City Managerto File Claim for 2008/09
Transportation DevelopmentAct (TDA) Funds in the Amount of $2,839,686from
Local Transportation Fund (LTF) and $82,648 from State Transit Assistance (STA)
MEETING DATE: June 17, 2009
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt a resolution authorizing the City Managerto file a claim for
the 2008/09 Transportation DevelopmentAct (TDA) funds in the
amount of $2,839,686 from the Local Transportation Fund (LTF)
and $82,648 from State Transit Assistance (STA).
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Each year, the City of Lodi receives an apportionment of TDA funds
to support Lodi's transit operations and pedestrian/bicycle costs.
These are State transportation funds that are primarily for
non-vehicu lar transportation but can be used on roads if those other
needs are being met. They are channeled through the San Joaquin Council of Governments (SJCOG), our
regional transportation planning agency. The claim for Fiscal Year 2008/09, including pedestrian/bike and
3 percent for SJCOG planning, is $2,839,686 from the LTF and $82,648 from STA. The STA funds will be
used for Transit capital. The LTF funds will be utilized as follows: $140,967 for bicycle and pedestrian
projects (which includes $95,824 in carryoverfunds from 06/07 and 07/08 and unclaimed interest earned
since 1996); $177,957 for road projects (which includes all carryoverfunds from 06/07); $1,662,683for
Transit operations and $517,229 for Transit capital projects (bus maintenance facility, signs, shelters, etc.,
and includes $294,775 in carryoverfunds from 06/07 and 07/08). SJCOG plans to approve the TDA claim
on June 25, 2009, following City Council's approval. The City Manager may make minor adjustments when
filing the final claim, based upon SJCOG review and comments.
The City Council should be aware that our transit operations, GrapeLine, Dial -A -Ride, and VineLine, are
fully funded with formula dollars from TDA and the Federal Transit Administration, along with other
competitive sources of funds. Transit is not dependent on any General Fund money. We intend to
continue to use TDA funds for transit, pedestrian, and bicycle -related projects and maintenance as much
as possible.
FISCAL IMPACT: This will allow the City to claim and receive TDA funding for FY 2008/09.
These funds will pay for on-going operations and upcoming capital needs.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: None required.
