AGENDA TITLE: Adopt Resolution Approving Submittal of Federal Transit Administration Section
5339 Grant Documents to Caltrans and Authorizing Transportation Manager to
Submit All Necessary Paperwork and Reimbursement Requests
MEETING DATE: March 19, 2014
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt resolution approving submittal of Federal Transit
Administration Section 5339 grant documents to Caltrans and
authorizing Transportation Manager to submit all necessary
paperwork and reimbursement requests.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: In January 2014, Caltrans Division of Mass Transportation
announced a call for projects utilizing a new formula program that
provides funding for capital projects to replace, rehabilitate, and
purchase buses and bus -related equipment/facilities. The program was established under Moving Ahead
for Progress in the 21 st Century (MAP -21) and provides funding to small urban areas with populations
between 50,000 and 200,000.
City transit staff is requesting Federal Transit Administration Section 5339 federal funds in the amount of
$168,811 to install a minimum of 11 bus shelters with amenities (benches and trash receptacles)
throughout town based on the City's Short Range Transit Plan accepted by Council in September 2013.
FISCAL IMPACT: City staff will utilize Transportation Development Act funding and fare
revenues for the 10 percent local match requirement for the bus shelter
improvement project. Failure to adopt the resolution and claim the funding
will result in the funds being re -allocated to another agency.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: Funding will be made available through this action.
