Giis- COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
FROM: Michael McCluskey, Public Works DirectoE f
PREPARED BY: Harry Watson, Transit Manager
SUBJECT:
Application for Federal Transportation Administration, Section 9, grant for transit capital
operations
CAO RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt a resolution authorizing staff to apply for a Federal Transit Administration (FTA)
Section 9 grant in the amount of $615,385 towards capital and operating support of SLO
Transit.
BACKGROUND:
The 1990 census classified the City of San Luis Obispo an urbanized area making it eligible for
Federal grants for mass transportation systems under Section 9 of the Urban Mass Transportation
Act of 1964. $615,385 was apportioned to San Luis Obispo in FY 1994. Future apportionments are
announced in the Federal Register. These funds remain available to be obligated for three fiscal
years following the fiscal year apportioned. At the end of the three years, any unobligated funds
revert to the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) for reapportionment.
Each year, the City must apply for the following year's appropriation. This agenda item is a near
duplicate of last year's, which was the City's first year of eligibility. .
I
The annual FTA application process requires a resolution of the governing body of the applicant '
authorizing the filing of the application. Suggested wording is contained in UMTA Circular 9030.1A,
page V-14.
The contract for Federal financial assistance does impose certain.obligations upon the applicant,
including the certification of compliance with numerous Federal programs in such areas as civil rights
and minority business. The City must also provide a local share of project costs in the program
(50% of funds to cover operating costs and 20% of capital costs). FTA will fund 90% of the cost
of capital projects which improve bicycle access to mass transit, meet the requirements of the Clean
Air Act, or the Americans with Disabilities Act. The City proposes to use State Transportation
Development Act (TDA) funds and fare revenues tocover the local match requirement.
Significant reporting requirements,as contained in Section 15 of the Urban Mass Transportation Act,
are tied to the Section 9 funds. Failure to adhere to Section 15 requirements result in no further
Federal funding at a minimum and the potential demand to return the grant funds at the maximum
The resolution authorizes the Public Works Director to act on the City's behalf in matters relating
to the FTA grant process.
