BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Each year, the City of Lodi receives an apportionment of TDA funds to support Lodi's transit operations and pedestrian/bicycle costs. These are State transportation funds that are primarily for non -vehicular (transit) transportation but can be used on roads if transit needs are being met. The funding is channeled through the San Joaquin Council of Governments (SJCOG), our regional transportation planning agency. The claim for Fiscal Year 2014/15 is $2,906,110 from LTF and $268,778 from STA, as follows: Transit Operations Transit Capital Projects Pedestrian/Bicycle Projects Streets/Roads Projects SJCOG Planning and Administration Total LTF STA Total $1,447,010 1,447,010 1,049,406 265,894 1,315,300 44,111 44,111 300,000 300,000 65,583 2,884 68,467 $2,906,110 $268,778 $3,174,888 As shown above, the LTF and STA funds will be utilized for transit operations, transit capital projects (transit station improvements, bus stop shelter improvements, transit buses, etc.), pedestrian/bicycle projects (sidewalk repairs), streets/roads projects (Turner Road Overlay from Loma Drive to Pleasant Avenue) and SJCOG planning and administration. The LTF funds include reclaimed carryover amounts from FY 13/14 in the amount of $790,014 for transit operations. The SJCOG board is scheduled to consider approving the TDA claim on June 25, 2015, following City Council's approval. The City Manager may make minor adjustments when filing the final claim, based upon SJCOG review and comments. The City's transit operations (GrapeLine, Dial -A -Ride, and VineLine) are fully funded with TDA, Federal Transit Administration funds, fare revenues and other competitive funding sources. Transit is not dependent on any General Fund money. We intend to continue to use TDA funds for transit, pedestrian/bicycle-related projects, streets/roads projects and maintenance as much as possible. FISCAL IMPACT: This action will allow the City to claim and receive TDA funding for FY 2014/15, which will pay for on-going operations and capital needs. FUNDING AVAILABLE: None required. F.
