THE CITY OF 8 <br /> CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT j�.J( <br /> pL£ASANTON® <br /> May 7, 2013 <br /> Community Services <br /> TITLE: ADOPT A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING SUBMITTAL OF AN <br /> APPLICATION FOR (TDA) FY14 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 FY14, the City's projected allocation is $152,049 <br /> ($60,135 TDA; $91,914 Measure B). These funds will be used to offset the proposed <br /> FY14 Paratransit Door-to-Door program cost of $551,599. Staff also submitted an <br /> Alameda CTC Cycle 5 Gap Grant application for $85,544 to continue funding the <br /> Downtown Route Shuttle (DTR) for FY14 and FY15. <br /> RECOMMENDATION <br /> That the City Council adopt a resolution authorizing the Director of Community Services <br /> to submit an application for the FY14 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 $551,599. Should the <br /> City receive both TDA Article 4.5 ($60,135) and Measure B ($91,914) funds for FY14, it <br /> would reduce the City's contribution from the General Fund. The total General Fund <br /> subsidy for the Paratransit Program (Door to Door Service and Downtown Route) is <br /> estimated to be $374,417 for FY14, which includes $7,867 in costs for the Downtown <br /> Route program and $33,000 in fare box receipts. <br />
