BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The San Joaquin Council of Governments (SJCOG) is required to conduct an annual assessment of the existing transit system prior to the allocation of Local Transportation Funds for non -transit purposes (TDA Section 99401.5). SJCOG, the San Joaquin Regional Transit District, and local jurisdictions are sponsoring several upcoming Unmet Transit Needs hearings in San Joaquin County, including Lodi. Any comments receivedfrom those meetingswill be communicatedto City staff. It should be noted that many of the comments are given directly via email to SJCOG staff throughout the year. Unmet Transit Needs are defined as transportation services not currently provided to those residents who use or would use public transportation regularly, if available, to meet their life expectations. SJCOG's Social Services Transportation Committee (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 tentatively scheduled for February 2012 with adoption of the Final Unmet Transit Needs study in April 2012. FISCAL IMPACT: Not applicable. FUNDING AVAILABLE: None required. F. Wally Sgridelin PublicWorks Director Prepared by Paula J.
