AGENDA TITLE: Public Hearing to Consider Unmet Transit Needs in Lodi
MEETING DATE:
PREPARED BY:
November 18,2009
PublicWorks Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Conduct a public hearing to consider unmet transit needs in Lodi.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: These public hearings are an annual requirement of the
Transportation DevelopmentAct regulations. The San Joaquin
Regional Transit District will be sponsoring several hearings to
discuss unmet transit needs in San Joaquin County, including Lodi.
Throughout the year, many comments and service requests are given directly to San Joaquin Council of
Governments (SJCOG) staff and discussed at the regular SJCOG Interagency Transit Committee.
Unmet Transit Needs are defined as transportation services, that can be reasonably met, not currently
provided to those residents who use or would use public transportation regularly, if available, to meet
their life expectations. At the conclusion of the comment period, SJCOG's Social Services Technical
Advisory Committee (SSTAC) will review all comments received in the County and make a
recommendation to the SJCOG Board if there are unmet needs and, if so, if they are reasonable to meet.
SSTAC will evaluate the comments received based on a reasonableness test of six criteria. The criteria
include community acceptance, equity, potential ridership, cost effectiveness, operational feasibility and
funding. The funding criterion requires the imposed service does not cause the public agency to incur
expenses in excess of the maximum allocation of TDA funds. Completion of the Draft Unmet Transit
Needs study is scheduled for February 2010 with adoption of the Final Unmet Transit Needs study in
April 2010.
FISCAL IMPACT: This hearing is required in accordance with the Transportation
DevelopmentAct funds the transit system utilizes for operations and
capital. If there are service changes or expansions that result from the
hearing, the fiscal impact would be determined at that time.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: None required
