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 $450,000 $67,353 $2,931,590 STA $132,719 $2,471 $135,190 Total $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.
