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: March 6, 2013
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: 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.
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 $83,371 for the FY 2012/13 cycle.
The Proposition 1 B TSSSDRA program is administered by the California Emergency Management Agency.
San Joaquin Council of Governments (SJCOG) will receive a total of approximately $553,891 program
funds to distribute, at its discretion, among the eligible transit providers that include Lodi, Escalon, Ripon,
Tracy, Manteca, Regional Rail Commission and the Regional Transit District. Similar to past grant cycles,
SJCOG and the Interagency Transit Committee collaboratively determined the funding distribution amongst
the eligible agency applicants. Of the total, $80,000 has been apportioned to the City of Lodi for the transit
security automated vehicle locating equipment.
Three eligible transit operators will receive additional Proposition 1 B 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
vehicle locating equipment.
With this grant funding, up to four automated vehicle locating equipment systems will be purchased and
installed in our GrapeLine/VineLine buses. The equipment will improve vehicle tracking in case of an
emergency, improve on-time performance, and provide automated stop announcements. Automated
vehicle locating equipment enhances the safety of the transit drivers and passengers by improving the
tracking of the vehicle at all times.
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 -allocated to another jurisdiction.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: Funding will be made available through this allocation.
