(Date of Meeting)
AGENDA REPORT
FOR
RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE FILING OF AN APPLICATION WITH THE METROPOLITAN
TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION FOR ALLOCATION OF TRANSPORTATION DEVELOPMENT ACT/
STATE TRANSIT ASSISTANCE FUNDS FOR THE CITY'S TRANSIT SYSTEM FOR FY 2007/2008
1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
This application is part of the county -wide consolidated claim. All transit systems,
county -wide, must coordinate their claims to receive funding from the MTC. This claim
is the source of funds used to operate fixed route and paratransit buses. Although there
are funds requested in this claim, this is not a budget request. The budget for transit
begins after the funding has been secured.
2. BACKGROUND:
The TDA creates a local transportation fund in each county for the transportation
purposes specified in the Act. Revenue is derived from one -fourth cent sales tax, which
is returned by the State Board of Equalization to each county in the amount of tax
collected in the county, and then disbursed according to population. Payments are made
by the County Auditor, but only in accordance with written allocation instructions issued
by MTC. This application is part of the county -wide consolidated claim. All transit
systems county -wide must coordinate their claims to receive funding from MTC. This
claim is the main source of funds used to operate fixed route and paratransit service in
Petaluma. Although there are funds to be requested in this claim, this is not a budget
request. The City's budget process begins after the TDA and STA funding has been
secured. The estimated FY 2007 -2008 TDA balance of funds for Petaluma is
$2,367,431. The estimated FY 2007 -2008 STA balance of funds for Petaluma is
$163,353.
3. ALTERNATIVES:
Do not approve resolution to file the 07/08 TDA/STA claim, which provides the main
source of funding to operate fixed route and paratransit service in Petaluma.
4. FINANCIAL IMPACTS:
This year's TDA and STA funding sources, which are essential to public transit in
Petaluma, would be disbursed as follows:

7.
From the State, Petaluma would receive an estimated $2,367,431 as its share of the
population -based TDA funds. From that amount, MTD Administration, MTC Planning,
the Sonoma County Administrator and Article 3 (including 2.0% for Pedestrian/Bicycle
Funding) take their cut.
From there, Petaluma also pays 26.5% to Golden Gate Transit for regional service to
Marin and San Francisco, and 9% of its remaining TDA funds to Sonoma County Transit
routes 44/48 and SCT paratransit service.
This would leave Petaluma with an estimated $1,477,487. Preliminary budget
projections put fixed route transit costs at about $1,299,150, less 15% for fare box
recovery for FY 2007 -2008.
Paratransit costs are projected to be $515,750, less 10% for fare box recovery. For
paratransit service, STA funds will cover $135,139, and TDA funds will cover the
remaining cost.
STA funding (percentage of tax on diesel fuel) is part of the Governor's budget and is
discretionary. STA funds have traditionally gone toward paratransit service in Petaluma.
STA distribution is at the discretion of the Governor. Any TDA funds not claimed for
transit are deposited in a carryover fund. At this time, Petaluma retains about $839,090.
Historically, Petaluma has claimed these funds for capital purchases, such as engine
packages, transmissions and transit shelter maintenance. We have also claimed this TDA
carryover as matching funds for larger projects, such as local match for the transit mall
and two paratransit vehicles. This year, Petaluma is projected to claim about $50,000.
CONCLUSION:
TDA and STA funds are critical to Petaluma's transit operations. Without this funding,
services would be curtailed, or cease altogether.
OUTCOMES OR PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENTS THAT WILL IDENTIFY SUCCESS OR
COMPLETION'
Submittal to Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) and approval by MTC
Grant Review and Allocation Committee.
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve resolution to apply for TDA and STA funding.
