The City's Public Works Director will be identified as Lodi's PTASP Accountable Executive, responsible for
carrying out the Agency Safety Plan and ensuring effective implementation of the program throughout the
City's transit system. The City's Transportation Manager will be identified as Lodi's PTASP Chief Safety
Officer, responsible for day-to-day implementation and operation of the City of Lodi's SMS.
