AGENDA TITLE: Adopt Resolution Authorizing City Manager to File Claim for 2016/17 Transportation
Development Act Funds from Local Transportation Fund ($2,931,590) and State Transit
Assistance Fund ($135,190)
MEETING DATE: June 21, 2017
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt resolution authorizing City Manager to file claim for 2016/17
Transportation Development Act Fund from Local Transportation Fund,
in the amount of $2,931,590, and State Transit Assistance Fund in the
amount of $135,190.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Each year, the City of Lodi receives an apportionment of Transportation
Development Act (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 2016/17 is $2,931,590 from Local Transportation
Fund (LTF) and $135,190 from State Transit Assistance (STA), as follows:
Transit Operations
Transit Capital Projects
Pedestrian/Bicycle Projects
Streets/Roads Projects
SJCOG Planning and Administration
Total
LTF
$1,423,720
$960,517
$30,000

$67,353

$1,423,720
$1,093,236
$30,000
$450,000
$69,824
$3,066,780
As shown above, the LTF and STA funds will be utilized for transit operations, transit capital projects (transit
station security improvements, bus stop shelter improvements, transit buses, etc.), pedestrian/bicycle projects
(sidewalk repairs), streets/roads projects (crack seal improvements, pavement maintenance, and the Harney
Lane /Mills Avenue traffic signal and lighting project), and SJCOG planning and administration. The LTF funds
include reclaimed carryover amounts from Fiscal Year 2015/16 in the amount of $1,235,047 for
pedestrian/bicycle projects, transit operations, and capital purposes. The SJCOG board is scheduled to
consider approving the TDA claim on June 22, 2017, 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.
