AGENDA TITLE: Lodi Transit System Update and Tour of Potential Downtown Shuttle Routes
MEETING DATE: June 13, 2017 (Shirtsleeve Session)
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION Lodi Transit System update and tour of potential downtown shuttle
routes.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The City of Lodi's Transit System has been in service since 1978.
Through the years, the Transit System has experienced many
changes and continues to evolve into a reliable and cost effective
alternative form of transportation that many of our citizens use on a daily basis.
The City's Transit System provides a daily fixed route bus system (GrapeLine), and door to door
American's with Disabilities Act (ADA) paratransit service (VineLine), and Dial -A -Ride (DAR) service for
the general public (including discounted fares for seniors/disabled/Medicare) within city limits and other
areas adjacent to the City.
The Public Works Department will discuss various transit related topics associated with the City's Transit
system (Exhibit A) while conducting a guided tour of potential downtown shuttle routes. The downtown
shuttle is a concept being considered to provide public transportation within the downtown area during
certain times on weekdays and weekends (Exhibit B). Visits to the Transit Station and a new bus shelter
are also scheduled, if time permits.
The tour, which leaves the Carnegie Forum at 7 a.m., is intended to provide the Council an opportunity to
experience the potential downtown shuttle routes, the recent Transit Station restroom remodel, and for
Staff to answer transit related questions. A City transit bus will provide transportation.
FISCAL IMPACT: Not applicable.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: Not applicable.
