AGENDA TITLE: Adopt Resolution Approving Submittal of Grant Documents to California
Emergency Management Agency Homeland Security and Authorizing
Transportation Manager to Submit All Necessary Paperwork and Reimbursement
Requests
MEETING DATE: May 18,2011
PREPARED BY: PublicWorks Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt resolution approving submittal of grant documents to
California Emergency ManagementAgency Homeland Security and
authorizing Transportation Managerto submit all necessary
paperwork and reimbursement requests.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Proposition 1 B funds from the Transit System Safety, Security and
Disaster Response (TSSSDRA) program have been allocated to the
City of Lodi in the amount of $103,731 for the FY 2010/1 1 cycle.
The Proposition 1 B TSSSDRA program is administered by the California Emergency Management Agency.
SJCOG will receive a total of approximately $535,882 program funds to distribute, at its discretion, among
the eligible transit providers that include Lodi, Escalon, Ripon, Tracy, Manteca, and the Regional Transit
District. Similar to past grant cycles, SJCOG and the InteragencyTransit Committee collaboratively
determined the funding distribution amongst the eligible agency applicants. Of the total, $100,000 has
been apportioned to the City of Lodi for the transit security automated fare box system.
Four eligible transit operators will receive additional Proposition 1B funds (Section 99314) based on fare
revenues. As a result, the City of Lodi will receive an additional $3,731 for the transit security automated
fare box system.
With this grant funding, up to seven additional automated fare box equipment will be purchased and
installed in our GrapeLine/VineLine buses. Fifteen automated fare boxes were previously installed using
ARRA stimulus funds. Automated fare boxes enhance the safety of the transit drivers by eliminating
passenger interactions during fare collection and protect the fares collected by a secure locking system
that can only be opened using a special probe. Fare revenue increased by approximately $1,000 during
the first month of operations with the new fares boxes.
FISCAL IMPACT: The cost of the security improvements will be fully covered by the
Proposition 1 B TSSSDRA funds, and there is no match requirement.
Failure to adopt the resolution and claim the funding could result in the
funds being re-allocatedto anotherjurisdiction.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: Funding will be made available through this allocation.
