CITY OF LODI
PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
TO: City Council
FROM: City Manager
DATE: August i1, 1983
COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
SUBJECT: 1983-84 Transportation Development Act Claim
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council adopt a resolution approving
the City of Lodi's 1983-84 Transportation Development Act Claim for LocAl
Transportation Fund (LT"') and State Transit Assistance (STA) and authorize
the City Manager to sign on behalf of the City.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: This year, COG has changed the TDA claim form
to Include both the LTF and STA claims in one document. We are claiming
all of our STA apportionment, which will be used for our transit system,
and all of the LTF apportionment which will be used for streets and roads,
as well as approximately $66,000, for.the Dial -a -ride system. This year
the transit system will be using an additional $22,000 of the LTF apportion-
ment. In past years, only $44,000 of LTF was used for Dial -&-ride.
The LTF portion of the claim includes all of the projects which are being
considered for construction during the next fiscal year. Those projects
are shown on the attached list. This action is not approving projects
for construction; it just allows us the flexiUTITty to use TDA funds on
the projects if they are included in the City's 1984 Transportation
Improvement Program (TIP). This year, our pedestrian/bicycle apportionment
($9,918) will be used in conjunction with the Ham Lane Improvement Project,
Lodi Avenue to Elm Street. Ham Lane is included as a primary bicycle
route in the San Joaquin County Bicycle Plan, and this project meets the
Intent of that apportionment.
The TDA funds will be used in conjunction with other City funds for the
Transportation ImproveWnt Program and maintenance of our streets.

Article 8 Contractor TDA Requirements
For contracted transpor.tatibn service providers, the San Joaquin
County Council of Governments' Executive Board has waived the
farebox and local support ratios as it is en:po::ered to do and
established a two-step process:
1. Match Requirement
To receive the sane amount of TDA funds (LTF and STA combined)
that a service received in the previous year, no more than
90% of the operating funds (minus depreciation) in the budget
may be TDA derived. The ten percent or more matching funds may
come from any other source available to the community as long as
it is not TDA.
2. Operating Cost Per Passenger Objective
To receive an amount of TDA funds (LTF and STA cor.ained) in
excess of what was claimed the previous fiscal year, the claim-
ant must establish a specific service objective for the fiscal
year of the claim. This specific objective would be the
operating co ger passeneer for the fiscal year of the claim.
The objective should be a realistic one based on current and
past system performance, but should be low enough -to represent
an "improvement" when warranted. The Transportation Planning
Policy Committee will adopt the operating cost per passenger
figure that a claimant must meet in the fiscal year of the
claim.
If the system failed to meet is operating cost per passenger
objective in the fiscal year prior to the claim, then it would
only be eligible to file a cliam for the level of TDA fundin
received in that fiscal year. If a system wishes to be eligible
for increased TDA funding in a future fiscal year, then it
should identify an operating cost per passenger objective.
i. What was the level of TDA funding received in
the previous fiscal year for this system (LTF and
STA) $
ii. Does the attached budget information demonstrate
At least a 10% match of non -TDA funds?
iii. Is this claim requesting more TDA funds then were
received in the previous fiscal year?
If yes, how much more? $
iv. What was last year's Operating Cost per Passenger
Objective? What was the actual
Operating Cost per assenger?

ORGANIZATION
In order to carry out its varied functions, the COG has always
maintained two s ecific divisions in the organization. These
include (i) (COG Comprehensive Regional Planning, and (2) Trans-
portation Planning. Separate budgets were maintained for the
two sections because of the sources of funding and the different
requirements of the funding agencies.
The COG's Regional Planning Budget was contained in one account
within the County General Fund (01-25801). However, due to the
numerous grants received for Transportation Planning purposes and
the audit requirements incumbent upon them, the Transportation
budget was separated from the General Fund in 1976 and a seperate
Transportation Fund (02S) was created. With COG being established
as a separate entity, it is now combining both budgets into one.
The Council of Governments' staff consists of nine full time
employees; an Executive Director, a Transportation Planner, two
Planner II's, two Planner I's, a Clerk Steno II, a Clerk Steno I
and an Account Technician II. One Planner II, two Planner I's,
the Account Technician II and the Clerk Steno I, all of whom
worked in the Transportation Division division, are contract em-
ployees and would be terminated at such time as the level of
federal funding could no longer justify their continued
employment.
With an exceptionally heavy workload, as a result of new mandates
by Federal and State governments, the COG contracts with or
shares some of the work elements with either consultants, Cal-
trans, or the County.
ADMINISTRATIVE AND COMPREHENSIVE REGIONAL PLANNING
The COG's Comprehensive Regional Planning division was responsi-
ble for all plans and programs other than transportation. They
also shared the intergovernmental coordination, public informa-
tion, technical assistance, and grant review functions with the
Transportaiion division. One of the principle objectives of the
COG is to assure the San Joaquin County regions continued
eligibility for receiving federal financial assistance.
During the 1983/84 fiscal year, the Regional Planning Division
will be continuing the Clearinghouse Activities and operation
of the Airport Land Use Commission. Funding for the Airport Land
Use Commission activities, as mandated by State law, calls for
the County to cover such costs.
TRANSPORTATION PLANNING
The transportation planning being carried out, in conjunction with
local, state and federal governments, is directed toward
the preparation of the Countywide Transportation Plan and other
documents required by federal and state regulations. The planning
process is a cooperative process and COG staff is assisted by
the staffs and representatives of local governments, special
transportation agencies, the California Department of Transpor-
tation, and by local elected and appointed officials and members
of the community. Elements of the Plan include a Road and Street
Plan, a Public Transit Plan, Aviation System Plan, a Bicycle (non -
motorized) Plan, and Commodity Movement Plan. Other activities
include the planning for mobile source emissions of air quality,
the prepration of the Transportation Systems Management Element,
a•Transportation Improvement Program, an Action Plan for the
coordination of social service transportation services and Energy
Planning.

One of the functions of the Transportation
Planning Section of COG is to promote
intergovernmental cooperation and coordi-
nation. This necessitates a considerable
amount of information dissemination through
the mails, a major portion of which are
referrals of federal transportation grant
requests, planning documents and revidw
materials for the COG hoard and other
committees, as well as numerous mail surveys
as a part of its on-going citizen partici-
pation program:
SUBSCRIPTIONS AND PERIODICALS
$ 2,150 ` $ 21100
This budget item is used to purchase
technical documents published by the
Federal Department of Transportation
and other agencies. It is impossible
to lint specific publications at this time
due to uncertainties as to what publications
will actually be available. Transportation
' Planning does subscribe to a number of
periodicals which are as follows:
i
Transit Journal $18.00
etro 8.00
ass ----Transit ls.00
icyc a orum 8.00
Together, these documents and other periodi-
cals provide the current technical library
support that is helpful in the preparation
of transportation reports, plans, and in
keeping abreast of the state of the art.

Communications, specifically the telephone,
play an important part in carrying out the
coordination of COG's Transportation Planning
functions with local, State and Federal
agencies. Efforts have been made to hold

fession occur frequently and rapidly, and
the opportunity to attend conferences, workshops,
and training courses will greatly assist staff
in providing technical assistance to local
governments as well as providing direction to
the preparation and implementation of transpor-
tation plans.
Some typical travel needs for the year include:
. 1 workshop sponsored by the Institute of
Transportation Studies - $200
