Public Hearing to Consider Unmet Transit Needs in Lodi
November 6,2019
Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION Public hearing to consider unmet transit needs in Lodi
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Under provisions of the Transportation Development Act (TDA),
public hearings must be held annually to accept testimony from
citizens on transit service needs that may be reasonable to meet,
prior to the allocation of TDA funds. The San Joaquin Council of Governments (SJCOG), as the
regional transportation planning agency, administers TDA funds for local agencies within San Joaquih
County. TDA funds provide two major sources of transportation funding: the Local Transportation
Fund (LTF) and the State Transit Assistance Fund.
"Unmet Transit Needs" are defined as transportation services not currently provided to those residents
who are likely to use public transportation on a regular basis.
All comments from the public hearing will be foruvarded to SJCOG who will prepare a draft Transit
Needs Assessment report. This report will undergo further review and revision by the Social Services
Transportation Advisory Committee before adoption by the SJCOG Board of Directors. ln addition
any comments received by phone, email, or in person, prior to this public hearing will also be
forwarded to SCJOG for analysis.
The SJCOG Board will adopt the finalTransit Needs Assessment report before allocating TDA funds to
local agencies for transit purposes. lf a transit need is determined reasonable to meet, LTF funds
must be allocated to implement the unmet need before they are applied to non-transit related projects,
such as streets and roadway improvements and repairs.
SJCOG staff will be in attendance at the public hearing to witness any public testimony and to
answer questions concerning the unmet needs process. No decision as to the sufficiency or
adequacy of localtransit services is required from the Council during the public hearing process
FISCAL IMPACT: Not applicable.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: Not applicable.
