9 <br /> THE CITY OF <br /> CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT <br /> pLEASANTON. <br /> May 15, 2012 <br /> Community Services <br /> TITLE: ADOPT A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING SUBMITTAL OF AN <br /> APPLICATION FOR (TDA) FY13 TRANSPORTATION DEVELOPMENT ACT <br /> ARTICLE 4.5 FUNDS AND ALAMEDA COUNTY MEASURE B FUNDS FOR <br /> THE PLEASANTON PARATRANSIT SERVICE <br /> SUMMARY <br /> The Transportation Development Act (TDA) provides for the disbursement of <br /> transportation funds through the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) for <br /> community transit services. Funding is allocated from TDA Article 4.5 and Alameda <br /> County Measure B (dedicated sales tax) funds. Eligible agencies are required to file <br /> annual applications for allocation with the MTC and the Alameda County Transportation <br /> Commission (Alameda CTC). For FY13, the City's projected allocation is $137,183 <br /> ($53,470 TDA; $83,713 Measure B). These funds will be used to offset the proposed <br /> FY13 Paratransit Door-to-Door program cost of $544,588. New Alameda CTC <br /> guidelines require updating the Pleasanton Paratransit Service operating protocols to <br /> establish 70 years of age as the new eligibility criteria effective July 1, 2013. <br /> RECOMMENDATION <br /> That the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the Director of Community Services <br /> to submit an application for the FY13 TDA Article 4.5 funds from the MTC and Alameda <br /> County Measure B Funds from the Alameda CTC. <br /> FINANCIAL STATEMENT <br /> The total cost of the City's Paratransit Door-to-Door program is $544,588. Should the <br /> City receive both TDA Article 4.5 ($53,470) and Measure B ($83,713) funds for FY13, it <br /> would reduce the City's contribution from the General Fund to $362,405. The total <br /> General Fund subsidy for the Paratransit Program is estimated to be $372,096 for <br /> FY13, which includes $9,691 for the Downtown Route program. <br />
