RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt resolution authorizing City Manager to file claim for Fiscal Year
2019120 Transportation Development Act Funds from Local
Transportation Fund, in the amount of $3,429,482, and State Transit
Assistance Fund, in the amount of $53,541.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The Transportation Development Act (TDA) provides two major
sources of funding for public transportation projects: Local
Transportation Fund (LTF) and State Transit Assistance (STA), which
are apportioned to counties based on population, taxable sales, and transit performance. Under the
provisions of the TDA, the City is required to make an annual claim for LTF and STA funds. The claim is
submitted to the State of California through the San Joaquin Council of Governments (SJCOG), the regional
transportation planning agency designated by the State to administer and allocate TDA funds to eligible
agencies in San Joaquin County.
The TDA Claim worksheets consist of transit operating and capital expenditures, revenue, fleet inventory,
operational and performance data, streets and roads projects, and future transit operational and capital
projections for determining compliance with triennial performance objectives established by SJCOG.
While Lodi's annual STA apportionment has reduced significantly over the last several years, our LTF
apportionment has increased each year due to population growth and our taxable sales. Given the
expected fall-out from reduced sales tax during the COVID-19 event, our LTF for Fiscal Year 2019120 may
be reduced by SJCOG once the State releases the fourth quarter projections.
For right now, Lodi's TDA claim for Fiscal Year 2019/20 is $3,483,023, which is made up of the following
c-t
TM
$53,541
The claim has been approved by SJCOG staff in draft form and, upon approval of the City Council, will be sent
to SJCOG for formal approval by their governing board. The City Manager may make minor adjustments
before filing the final claim, based upon SJCOG review and comments.
The City's transit operations (Grapeline, Dial-A-Ride, and Vineline) are not dependent on the General Fund.
Transit is fully funded with TDA, Federal Transit Administration funds, fare revenues, competitive grants, and
other State and local revenue sources.
