AGENDA TITLE: Adopt Resolution Authorizing City Manager to File Claim for Fiscal Year 2020/21
Transportation Development Act Funds from Local Transportation Fund ($2,405,862)
and State Transit Assistance Fund ($32,238)
MEETING DATE: July 21, 2021
PREPARED BY: Public Works Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt resolution authorizing City Manager to file a claim with the San
Joaquin Council of Governments for FY 2020/21 Transportation
Development Act Funds from Local Transportation Fund in the amount
of $2,405,862, and State Transit Assistance Fund in the amount of $32,238.
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. Due to
pandemic -related service reductions, transit operators have been given an exemption through FY 2022 from
meeting previously established performance objectives.
Lodi's TDA claim for Fiscal Year 2020/21 is actually less than previous years due to the Federal CARES
funding allocated to Lodi for transit operating costs during the pandemic. This required less LTF to meet
operating costs needs. Lodi's TDA Claim for Fiscal Year 2020/21 is $2,438,100, which is comprised of the
following requests:
The claim has been approved by SJCOG staff in draft form and, upon approval by 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 (Grapel-ine, Dial -A -Ride, and VineLine) are not dependent on the General Fund.
Transit is fully funded with Federal Transit Administration funds, TDA, fare revenues, competitive grants and
other State and local revenue sources.
