AGENDA TITLE: Application for Federal Transit Assistance (FTA) Section 9 Funds
MEETING DATE: March 15, 1995
PREPARED BY: Assistant City Manager
RECOMMENDED ACTION: The City Council authorize the City Manager to file the attached
application for 1994-95 Federal Transit Assistance (FTA) funds in the
amount of $470,613. Of these funds, $276,613 is for operations and
$194,000 is for Capital. The Capital items included are two replacement vehicles for Dial -A -Ride, a spare
vehicle for Dial -A -Ride and $100,000 for restoration of the Southern Pacific Train Depot.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Each year the City of Lodi receives an allocation of Federal
Transit funds for support of our Dial -A -Ride and Grapel-ine Bus
System. In order to obtain these funds we must make application
for the funds. We have filed a claim and have received approval for TDA funds. That claim required that
we also make utilization of Federal funds. This application is an integral part of our funding for transit
activities in the City of Lodi.
The City Council should remain aware that our transit operation is fully funded with earmarked dollars and
that not one dollar of City of Lodi General Fund moneys are spent on transit.
FUNDING: None required.

CITY OF LODI - LODI TRANSIT SYSTEM
SHORT RANGE TRANSIT PLAN STATUS/INVOLVEMENT OF PRIVATE
SECTOR IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE PROGRAM OF PROJECTS
The City of Lodi - Lodi Transit System, working in conjunction
with the San Joaquin Council of Governments hired a consultant to
prepaYe a Transit Needs Assessment and System Plan in 1992. That
plan recommended the development of a fixed route transit system
component that would work in conjunction with the existing demand
responsive transit system to provide expanded services to the
citizens of the Lodi urbanized area. The plan also made
recommendations regarding the expansion of the fleet and
replacement of some of the existing vehicles to meet capacity
needs and ADA requirements.
During the 1992/93 fiscal year the San Joaquin Council of
Governments prepared an updated Short Range Transit Plan for the
City of Lodi - Lodi Transit System that incorporates the
recommendations of the Transit Needs Assessment and System Plan.
The City of Lodi in cooperation with San Joaquin County and San
Joaquin Council of Governments is building a rail -multimodal
station. This is a four phase project: (I) feasibility and site
alternative analysis; (II) site planning, environmental and
preliminary engineering; (III)right of way acquisition; and (IV)
construction. Phase one is completed.
This project is included in the State Transportation Improvement
Program. A contract for Phase II work has been awarded in March
1995 and is scheduled for completion in early 1996.
The City of Lodi is committed to a downtown revitalization effort.
As part of this process the City contracted with a land use
planner to develop a plan. An integral part of that plan is the
downtown multi -modal station.
