AGENDA TITLE: Public Hearing to Consider Unmet Transit Needs in Lodi
MEETING DATE:
PREPARED BY:
December 21, 2016
Public Works Director
G-4
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. 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 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 2017 with adoption of the Final Unmet Transit Needs study in April 2017. Dial -A -Ride
transit services will be advertised in the local newspaper and available for passengers attending the
public hearing on December 21, 2016.
FISCAL IMPACT: Not applicable.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: Not applicable.
