The City of Lodi has submitted a Transportation Development Act (TDA) Claim for Fiscal Year 1990-91. The claim is for $1,411,480 from the Local Transportation Fund (LTF) and $5,221 from the State Transit Assistance (STA) fund. The claimed amount includes unexpended carryover in both the LTF and STA fund accounts. COG staff has reviewed Lod i' s TDA claim for Fiscal Year 1990-91, and determined that it is complete. The claim is for the following purposes and amounts: Claimant Fund Amount Purpose -------------------------------------------------- Lod i LTF 294,065 Public Transit A r t i c l e 4 (99260) Operator STA 5,221 Public Transit A r t i c l e 4 (99260) Operator LTF 36,000 Public Transit A r t i c l e 8 (99400 (c) ) Contractor LTP 21,300 Ped. & Bike Article 8 (99400(a)) LTF 1,060,115 Road & Street Article 8 (99400(a) ) Total Claim : $ 1,416,701 ------------------------- The amounts being claimed are available, and the intended claim purposes are eligible expenses. Lodi's claim is different from those filed in previous years because the City is claiming funds for a new public transit ser- vice. This new public transit service is essentially the avail- ability of taxi cab service, 24 hours per day, within the City of Lodi. The new service is provided through a contractual arrange- ment between the City of Lodi and the City Cab Company whereby the City pays the cab company $1.50 for every taxi ride originat- ing within the City of Lodi. The City of Lodi has determined that there is a need for taxi cab service 24 hours per day, and further that they would like to use LTF funds to ensure the availability of such service. Lodi proposes to support this new service by claiming funds under Article 8 of the Public Utilities Code to support this new ser- W 11/90 4 vice. The arrangement they have worked out to ensure this ser- vice differs from other Article 8 transit service claimants because in Lodi's case LTF funds will be used to subsidize the contractor, not the rider, The more typical Article 8 transit service subsidizes riders by selling, them discount trip tickets. The discount trip_;tickets are collected by the transit provider andreidQpmed at a rate greater than that at iginally paid by the' rlac r purchasing the trip ticket - In Lodi 's Article 8 transit servige,.the contractor's rate of subsidy is directly related to the'numberof passengers, served, but it is not the passengers who receive the direct benefit. enefit of fare assistance- The City Cab Companyy will: -:continue to charge and collect passenger fares at the time of service - Technical details of the contract stipulate that the City Cab Company will maintain passenger logs. These logs will be used to document and substantiate the number of rides given and rate of compensation from the City. One of the findings that Waist be made before this claim for Article 8 transit services can be approved is that the contracted transportation services responds to a transportation need not otherwise being met within the community. Since Lodi will con- tinue to provide their Dial -A -Ride (DAR) service, it is important that SJCCOG determine that this new service is meeting a need that DAR is not currently meeting. To assist the SJCCOG Board in making that finding the difference in service hours between the new service (called TAXI) and DAR is highlighted below: o DAR is available 6 days a week, Monday through Saturday. DAR hours are 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Saturday. TAXI.• is available 24 hours a day 7 days a week. Other differences between the two transportation services are: DAR is operated directly by the City; TAXI is operated by the City Cab Company under contract with the City. TDA funds claimed to support the two services are claimed under differ- ent Articles of the Public Utilities Code and consequently have different performance standards. DAR uses City of Lodi vehicles but City Cab employees: TAXI uses no City of Lodi vehicles. o DAR has performance standards which include pick-up response times, service hours per day, dispatching standards, and a TDA required farebox revenue to operating cost ratio. TAXI performance standards include an efficiency standard measured by operating cost per passenger. -2- 11/90 • DAR tickets are sold by the City and collected by DAR transit drivers (City Cab employees). City Cab presents cancelled or used tickets and related passenger logs to Lodi City and receives a reimbursement for each DAR ticket. There are no tickets sold or collected for TAXI services, TAXI receives compensation from the City based on passenger :'logbook records. • No fares are collected by the City Cab for DAR service: TAXI passengers pay fares directly to City Cab drivers. Article 8 and SJCCOG Policies SJCCOG policies covering Article 8 transit claimants require that no more than 90% of the total operating funds be TDA derived, SJCCOG policies also require that Article 8 transit claimants successfully meet an operating cost per passenger standard if their TDA claim represents an increase in TDA funding for the service from the previous year. Lodi has identified an operating cost per passenger standard for this new service of $2.17. This is below the adopted $4.75 rea- sonableness cost per passenger standard for cities comparable to Lodi . Exceptions to the Article 8 transit requirements were adopted by the SJCCOG board at their October, 1990 meeting. These excep- tions include a two-year exemption from meeting the operating cost per passenger standard for new or expanded Article 8 transit services. Next year when the City of Lodi files the TDA claim it may qualify for this exemption and submit a claim for additional Article 8 transit service funds without achieving an operating cost per passenger standard. Need for Revised FY 1989-90 Claim In the course of reviewing the FY 1990-91 TDA claim it became apparent that there was a need for the City of Lodi to revise its FY 1989-90 TDA claim. This is because Lodi's need for LTF tran- sit capital revenue was higher than originally anticipated and their need for LTF transit operating revenue was lower than orig- inally anticipated. The revision results in a net decrease in LTF transit funding. Since Lodi's Fiscal Year 1989-90 TDA claim has been paid in full, the revised claim shows that excess LTF was paid; this excess is considered unexpended carryover and appears as such on Lodi's Fiscal Year 1990-91 TDA claim. Lodi's revised FY 1989-90 TDA claim is awaiting final approval by the Lodi City Council. SJCCOG considers the revised claim non- controversial and a City Council resolution approving the claim is anticipated shortly. -3- 2 Audit Concern A review: o most rec indicated hat .the- .Dial_ .'City. was: asked, `to ad p3r,� 11/90 ' ent::-fiscal and. compliance,,audit :-;for, Lodi -A-Ride..Fund::included=a cash deficit.
