AGENDA TITLE: Public Hearing to Consider Unmet Transit Needs in Lodi
MEETING DATE: October 21, 2015
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
(3401
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Public hearing to consider unmet transit needs in Lodi.
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 (Transportation Development Act (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). All comments received from the hearings
and meetings will be communicated to City staff and reviewed by SJCOG's Social Services
Transportation Advisory Committee. In addition, many comments are given directly to SJCOG staff
via email throughout the year and will be reviewed and incorporated in the comment list.
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 Advisory Committee 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. If an unmet need satisfies
all six criteria, then it is incorporated by the transit agency. The funding criterion requires that any
imposed service addressing an unmet transit need not cause the public agency to incur expenses in
excess of the maximum TDA funding allocation.
The Draft Unmet Transit Needs study is tentatively scheduled for completion by January 2016 with
adoption of the Final Unmet Transit Needs study in April 2016. Dial -A -Ride transit services were
advertised in the local newspaper and available for those wishing to attend the public hearing.
FISCAL IMPACT: Not applicable.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: Not applicable.
