BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The City annually submits a claim for TDA funds to the
Council of Government (COG). These funds are available
for transit and street maintenance projects.
As you can see, this claim contains Federal funds. That claim will be submitted

remainder of the funds will be used for street maintenance and street improvement
projects.
The claim attached is labeled draft as we forwarded a preliminary copy to COG for
comments. If they suggest changes, we will prepare a new claim which will be
available at the February 15, 1995 Council meeting.

ARTICLE 4 OPERATOR TDA REQUIREMENTS
1. Fare Ratio/Local Support Requirements (Dial -A -Ride)
All Article 4 claimants are required to maintain a specified ratio
of fare revenue to operating cost. In addition, SMART only is
required to maintain a ratio of fare revenue plus local support to
operating cost of 32%. See 99268.2 - 99268.19 for details and
exemptions pertaining to ratios.
A. What is this system's required farebox recovery ratio?
10%
B. Does the attached budget demonstrate that this system will
meet its required farebox recovery and for SMART its farebox
plus local support ratios? yes
C. Has this system utilized its grace year? no
D. Has -this system been in non-compliance with its required
ratio? n0
If yes, identify the year or years
2. Extension of Service/New Service (GrapeLine)
An extension of service or new service is exempt from the
required farebox and local support ratios if:
A. The extension of service or new service has been in operation
for less than two full fiscal years. The two-year extension
of services exclusion applies until two years after the end
of the fiscal year in which the extension of services was put
into operation.
B. The claimant submits a report on the extension of services
to the COG within 90 days after the end of the fiscal year.
(For details of the report, see 6633.8(b)).
Is an extension of service/new service being claimed? yes
If so, has the required report been submitted for the most
recently completed full fiscal year? If not, that
report must accompany this claim. No

3. Operator's STA Qualifying Criteria (99314.6) EXPLANATION
A transit operator must meet one of two efficiency standards before
STA funds may be "fully" allocated for operating purposes:
A) The operator's operating cost per revenue vehicle hour, in
the latest year for which audited data are available, must
not exceed the sum of the preceding year's operating cost
per revenue vehicle hour and an amount equal to the change
in the Consumer Price Index (CPI)t multiplied by the pre-
ceding year's operating cost per revenue vehicle hour.
The formula below accomplishes this exercise:
(opcost/RVH)FY93 <- [(opcost/RVH)FY92] * [1.023] OR
B) The operator's average operating cost per revenue vehicle
hour, in the latest three years for which audited data are
available, must not exceed the sum of the average of the
operating cost per revenue vehicle hour for the three
years preceding the latest year for which audited data are
available and an amount equal to the average change in the
CPI for the same period. The formula below accomplishes
this exercise:
AVG (opcost/RVH) FY91,92,93 <- ( AVG (opcost/RVH)FY90,91,92} * (1.031}
As used here, Operating Costs are defined by PUC Section 99247:
All costs in the operating expense object classes exclusive
of the costs in the depreciation and amortization expense
object class, and exclusive of all direct costs for providing
charter services, and exclusive of all vehicle lease costs.
STA allows for other exclusions, to be granted by the COG, if
deemed appropriate. These additional operating cost exclusions
include:
1) Exclusion of cost increases beyond the change in the CPI
for fuel, alternative fuel programs, insurance, or state
and federal mandates.
2) Exclusion of start-up costs for new services for a period
of not more than two years (refer to PUC Section 99268.8
for a definition of new service).
If you wish to claim these exclusions when calculating the
operation cost per revenue vehicle hour, you must state the
request and show calculations in support of the cost to be
excluded.
t Percentage change across fiscal years using the California CPI.
MV
r•r�z SFr
PUC Section 99314.6 is somewhat obscure about how much STA may be
allocated in the event that an operator does not meet the effi-
ciency standards. The legislation says that the funds may not be
"fully" allocated, but does not define what is meant by "fully".
COG will address this issue if it becomes necessary.
The following documents pertain to the new STA efficiency standards
and are available at your request:
PUC Section 99314.6, also known as Chapter 35 Statutes of
1991 (SB 3 -Kopp).
The Uniform System of Accounts for Public Transit Operators.
Consumer Price Index Data for California, January, 1981
through April, 1994.
Transportation Development Act Audit Reports, FY 1989 through
FY 1993.
Please complete the attached worXsheet to determine if you fully
qualify for your STA apportionment. TDA Audit reports will
address this efficiency criteria.

501 25% of the Assistant City Manager's salary and benefits are charged to
this account for 1994-95 fiscal year in order to put into place a
fixed route system.
502 This increase is due to providing additional benefits and including
benefits for the Assistant City Manager.
503 Cost of vehicle maintenance has increased additional advertising.
S. Narrative Description (6632)
Please describe in the space below any changes in service characteris-
tics from the previous fiscal year. This should specifically include
any substantial increase or decrease in the geographic area served,
major changes to the scope of operations, or addition of major new fixed
facilities. Please attach an additional page if necessary.
Two factors come into play, we added additional Dial -A -Ride drivers in order to
eliminate delays in pick up and delivery times. On November 25, 1994 we began a
four -route fixed route system, hiring of nine full-time drivers, four part-time
drivers and the addition of a part-time dispatcher.

Please read through these instructions carefully. The instructions
are not meant to replace the Transportation Development Act
Statutes and California Code of Regulations book. Each claimant is
responsible for complying with all appl:lcable statutes and codes.
Statutes and codes are identified throughout the forms for easy
reference.
1
0
Claim Request Sheets (Pages 6 and 7)
Page 6 is for the LTF claim and Page 7 is for the STA claim. These
are to be completed and signed by the claimant's Chief Financial
Officer. These pages identify the claimant, the amount of money
being requested, and the fiscal year for which the request is being
made. If funds are being claimed for proposed expenditures in two
fiscal years, then a separate page should be completed for each
fiscal year. The pages comply with Section 6632 of the TDA
Statutes and California Code of Regulations.
Apportionments Page (Page 8)
Lines A, B, and C (both sections) should be completed based on
information supplied to you by COG staff. Lines I.D, II.D, and the
totals should be completed by the claimant. Line E. under State
Transit Assistance reflects the 2% authorized by the COG Board for
transit planning. The totals indicate the maximum amount that may
be claimed. The unexpended carryover should reflect unexpended
funds as of June 30 of the previous fiscal year. These should
include all interest earned on the funds while in the claimant's
possession.
Allocation Page (Page 9)
Page 9 identifies how much of the available LTF and STA funds will
be expended on the various eligible purposes. Please identify the
appropriate dollar amount on the line provided for each fund. If
there are questions as to where to list an allocation request,
please refer to the referenced section, or call COG staff.
Please total each column. Subtract the total claimed in each
column from the TOTAL AVAILABLE FOR THIS CLAIM arrived at on
page 8. The difference between the Total Available and the Claim
Total is unclaimed apportionment, the amount of money that will
remain in the Trust Fund accruing interest to the claimant.
IMPORTANT: to help prevent accidental over -payment, please identify
on a line -by-line basis any unexpended carryover which is included
on page 9.
Claim Allocation Forms (rest of"packet: pages 10-26)
The Claim Allocation Forms provide the COG with the required
financial and operational information for approving a TDA claim.
There are five parts that correspond to the parts identified on the
Allocation page. Complete only those parts for which an allocation
is being requested.
K
PART I
This part is to be completed by claimants who operate a transit
system, or contract for transit services. Please indicate at the
top of page 10 whether the claim is for an operator or a contrac-
tor. Generally, an "operator" is a service provider that owns the
vehicles it operates, while a "transit service claimant" contracts
for the provision of transit services. However, it is possible to
own vehicles and yet not be an operator; please contact COG staff
if you are not sure of your status. Note: if funds are being
claimed for more than one transit service, separate entries, or
separate pages must be provided.
On pages 10 and 11, the claimant must complete a budget for the
transit system. If there is more than one transit service, then a
separate budget must be submitted for each. These pages are in
accordance with the Uniform System of Accounts and Records.
Page 12 calls for the system's operational information. Please
complete all applicable lines. Again, if there is more than one
transit service for which funds are being claimed, a separate sheet
should be completed for each.
Page 13 is the Three Year Fiscal Plan. Please complete one sheet
for each transit service being claimed. Please provide the best
estimate of the funds each service will be relying upon in each of
the indicated fiscal years. The Three Year Fiscal Plan is used as
a tool for determining the adequacy of projected apportionments to
meet the expected allocation needs.
The Fleet Inventory sheet is to be completed only by claimants who
own their own vehicles.
Pages 15-19 are for Article 4 transit operators. This information
is required for ensuring compliance with and enforcement of the
required Farebox Ratio, Local Support Ratio and the STA qualifying
criteria. Parts 1 and 4 are self-explanatory. You may wish to
complete 112. Extension of Service/New Service," if portions of the
transit service comply with the definition in 99268.8. Operators
seeking to claim exemptions under this section must also complete
and submit to the COG a special report: see 6633.8 (b). Complete
113. Operator's STA Qualifying Criteria" to comply with Section
99314.6 only if STA funds are being claimed or reclaimed for
operating purposes. Complete 115. Narrative Description" if there
has been any change in service characteristics, or if there is a
need to add explanations. Attach extra pages as necessary.
Pages 20-22 are to be completed by .article 8 transit service
contractors. In the case of a "unified transit system", page 23
should be completed instead of pages 20-22, by the "contributing
claimant" only (see page 23 for definitions). Once again, these
3
pages are to be completed for each transit service being provided.
Any questions relating to the TDA requirements should be referred
to COG staff.
PART II
Please identify the Project, the Project Limits, and the LTF costs,
as well as the Total Cost, for each pedestrian, bicycle, or other
non -motorized expenditure. Note: by COG Board policy, the 2%
bicycle/ pedestrian funds may be used for other eligible TDA
purposes, if the local governing body resolves that there are no
pressing bicycle or pedestrian needs. However, the 2% must be
spent on bicycle/ pedestrian purposes for a jurisdiction to be
eligible for Measure K Bicycle Program funds.
PART III
This is to be completed in the same fashion as Part II. Please
list all road and street projects by the project description, the
limits of the project, and the LTF cost, as well as the total
project cost. Please see Section 99402 of the Transportation
Development Act Statutes and California Code of Reaulations for
eligible expenses.
PART IV
Before completing this Part, it is strongly recommended to talk
with COG staff first. This section is provided for those claim-
ants wishing to identify TDA expenditures not covered in the four
previous parts. This section should be completed in narrative
fashion with each of the five items of information requested.
Additional Required Documentation
The following must be submitted along with the claim, or have
already been submitted to COG, or the appropriate agency.
1. A certified fiscal audit must be submitted within 180 days
after the end of the fiscal year, except where a 90 day
extension has been granted by COG. (Section 99245 and
Section 6664).
2. Transit operators and transit service claimants must submit
to the State Controller's Office and to the COG a report on
all expenditures of TDA funds for transit purposes, on or
before October 1 (Section 6637).
4
3. All non -transit claimants must submit to the State Con-
troller's Office a report on all expenditures of TDA funds
for non -transit purposes, on or before October 1 (Section
6665).
4. Two original, signed copies of a City Council/Board of
Supervisor Resolution authorizing the claimed amount of
money must accompany these forms. Upon COG Board approval,
one copy will be returned to the claimant.
5. Transit operators seeking exemptions for extension of
services/new services must submit a special report as
required in 99268.8.
6. All TDA transit claims submitted by transit operators must
be accompanied by a California Highway Patrol Certification
pursuant to TDA Section 99251.
7. Two original, signed copies of a City Council/Board of
Supervisor Resolution stating that there are no pressing
bicycle or pedestrian needs must accompany claims that use
their 2% bike/ped apportionment for other purposes. This
can be part of the Resolution authorizing the TDA claim
itself.
8. For Article 8 claimants, copies of contracts with transit
contractors for the fiscal year for which TDA funds are
being claimed.

ARTICLE 4 OPERATOR TDA REQUIREMENTS
1. Fare Ratio/Local Support Requirements (Dial -A -Ride)
All Article 4 claimants are required to maintain a specified ratio
of fare revenue to operating cost. In addition, SMART only is
required to maintain a ratio of fare revenue plus local support to
operating cost of 32%. See 99268.2 - 99268.19 for details and
exemptions pertaining to ratios.
A. What is this system's required farebox recovery ratio?
107
B. Does the attached budget demonstrate that this system will
meet its required farebox recovery and for SMART its farebox
plus local support ratios? yes
C. Has this system utilized its grace year? no
D. Has this system been in non-compliance with its required
ratio? no
If yes, identify the year or years
2. Extension of Service/New Service (GrapeLine)
An extension of service or new service is exempt from the
required farebox and local support ratios if:
A. The extension of service or new service has been in operation
for less than two full fiscal years. The two-year extension
of services exclusion applies until two years after the end
of the fiscal year in which the extension of services was put
into operation.
B. The claimant submits a report on the extension of services
to the COG within 90 days after the end of the fiscal year.
(For details of the report, see 6633.8(b)).
Is an extension of service/new service being claimed? yes
If so, has the required report been submitted for the most
recently completed full fiscal year? If not, that
report must accompany this claim. No

3. Operator's STA Qualifying Criteria (99314.6) EXPLANATION
A transit operator must meet one of two efficiency standards before
STA funds may be "fully" allocated for operating purposes:
A) The operator's operating cost per revenue vehicle hour, in
the latest year for which audited data are available, must
not exceed the sum of the preceding year's operating cost
per revenue vehicle hour and an amount equal to the change
in the Consumer Price Index (CPI)* multiplied by the pre-
ceding year's operating cost per revenue vehicle hour.
The formula below accomplishes this exercise:
(opcost/RVH)FY93 < [(opcost/RVH)FY92] * [1.023] OR
B) The operator's average operating cost per revenue vehicle
hour, in the latest three years for which audited data are
available, must not exceed the sum of the average of the
operating cost per revenue vehicle hour for the three
years preceding the latest year for which audited data are
available and an amount equal to the average change in the
CPI for the same period. The formula below accomplishes
this exercise:
AVG (opcost/RVH) PY91,92,93 < {AVG(opcost/RVH)FY90,9 1,92} * (1.031}
As used here, operating Costs are defined by PUC Section 99247:
All costs in the operating expense object classes exclusive
of the costs in the depreciation and amortization expense
object class, and exclusive of all direct costs for providing
charter services, and exclusive of all vehicle lease costs.
STA allows for other exclusions, to be granted by the COG, if
deemed appropriate. These additional operating cost exclusions
include:
1) Exclusion of cost increases beyond the change in the CPI
for fuel, alternative fuel programs, insurance, or state
and federal mandates.
2) Exclusion of start-up costs for new services for a period
of not more than two years (refer to PUC Section 99268.8
for a definition of new service).
If you wish to claim these exclusions when calculating the
operation cost per revenue vehicle hour, you must state the
request and show calculations in support of the cost to be
excluded.
t Percentage change across fiscal years using the California CPI.
16
PUC Section 99314.6 is somewhat obscure about how much STA may be
allocated in the event that an operator does not meet the effi-
ciency standards. The legislation says that the funds may not be
"fully" allocated, but does not define what is meant by "fully".
COG will address this issue if it becomes necessary.
The following documents pertain to the new STA efficiency standards
and are available at your request:
PUC Section 99314.6, also known as Chapter 35 Statutes of
1991 (SB 3 -Kopp).
The Uniform System of Accounts for Public Transit Operators.
Consumer Price Index Data for California, January, 1981
through April, 1994.
Transportation Development Act Audit Reports, FY 1989 through
FY 1993.
Please complete the attached worjcsheet to determine if you fully
qualify for your STA apportionment. TDA Audit reports will
address this efficiency criteria.

major changes to the scope of operations, or addition of major new fixed
facilities. Please attach an additional page if necessary.
Two factors come into play, we added additional Dial -A -Ride drivers in order to
eliminate delays in pick up and delivery times. On November 25, 1994 we began a
four -route fixed route system, hiring of nine full-time drivers, four part-time
drivers and the addition of a part-time dispatcher.
