AGENDA TITLE: Public Hearing to Consider Unmet Transit Needs in Lodi
MEETING DATE: November 19, 2014
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Public hearing to consider unmet transit needs in Lodi.
G as I
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 received from those meetings will be communicated to 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 January 2015 with
adoption of the Final Unmet Transit Needs study in April 2015. Dial -A -Ride transit services were
advertised in the local newspaper and available for passengers attending the public hearing.
FISCAL IMPACT: Not applicable.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: None required.
