CITY OF LODI
COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
AGENDA TITLE: Adopt Resolution Authorizing City Managerto File Claim for 2009/10 Transportation
Development Act (TDA) Funds in the Amount of $1,930,253 from Local
Transportation Fund (LTF) and $1,500 from State Transit Assistance (STA) Fund
MEETING DATE: April 21, 2010
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt a resolution authorizing the City Managerto file a claim for
the 2009/10 Transportation DevelopmentAct (TDA) funds in the
amount of $1,930,253 from the Local Transportation Fund (LTF)
and $1,500 from State Transit Assistance (STA) Fund.
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 -vehicular
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 2009/10, including pedestrian/bike and $70,586
for SJCOG planning and administration, is $1,930,253 from LTF and $1,500 from STA. The LTF funds will
be utilized as follows: $90,000 for bicycle and pedestrian projects (which includes $62,526 in carryover
funds from previous years); $125,000 for road projects (all carryoverfunds from previous years);
$1,422,123 for Transit operations and $222,544 for Transit capital projects (bus maintenance facility, CNG
Fueling Station improvements, signs, shelters, etc., and includes $91,000 in carryoverfunds from previous
years and $131,544 in unclaimed funds from FY 2008/09). SJCOG plans to approve the TDA claim on
March 25, 2010, following City Council's approval. The City Manager may make minor adjustments when
filing the final claim, based upon SJCOG review and comments.
In 2009, after several public meetings and a public hearing, Council approved reducing transit service hours
for the City's transit operations in response to reduced State funding. The Transit operations amount in this
claim ($1,422,133) for FY 2009/10 is the same that staff projected at the time of the service reductions. For
FY 2010/11, SJCOG staff estimates TDA revenues to be $1.5 million. Staff does not anticipate another
transit service reduction next fiscal year; however, we will continue to closely monitor revenue funding.
The transit operations, GrapeLine, Dial -A -Ride, and VineLine, are fully funded with TDA, Federal Transit
Administration funds, fare revenues and other competitivefund sources. 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 2009/10.
These funds will pay for on-going operations and capital needs.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: None required.
