COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT ITEM NUMBER
FROM: Ken Hampian, Assistant City Administrative Officer
Prepared By: Harry Watson, Transit Managersi,
SUBJECT: Consideration of approving the 1991-92 annual claim for
Transportation Development Act funds totaling $962 , 975
CAO RECOMMENDATION:
1. Adopt and authorize the Mayor to sign the resolution approving
the annual TDA claim.
2 . Approve amended Transit Budget.
DISCUSSION:
Background
Transportation Development Act (TDA)
The Transportation Development Act (TDA) provides the major source
of funding for public transportation through the regional
transportation planning agencies (for the County of San Luis
Obispo, this agency is the San Luis Obispo Area Coordinating
Council) . This public transportation funding source is called the
county Local Transportation Fund (LTF) . LTF has been in existence
since 1972 .
Local Transportation Fund (LTF)
In each county, TDA creates a LTF for the transportation purposes
specified in the Act. Revenues of the LTF are derived from 1/4
cent of the six cent retail sales tax collected statewide. The
LTF is returned by the State Board of Equalization to each county
according to the amount of tax collected in that county.
Payments from the LTF are made by the county auditor, but only in
accordance with written allocation instructions issued by the San
Luis Obispo Area Coordinating Council.
City of San Luis Obispo TDA Claim
In accordance with TDA, transit services are the first spending
priority (such as SLO Transit and the Regional Transit systems) .
TDA allocations are made Countywide based on population.
Attachment 1 shows the allocations proposed by jurisdiction for
FY91-92 .
For FY91-92 the City's total entitlement amounts to $962 , 975. In
order to receive the TDA money apportioned to the City, an annual
claim must be filed which describes how the City will spend the
money. Council policy is that all TDA funds coming to the City
should be allocated to alternative transportation programs and

projects and the 1991-92 Budget has been approved accordingly.
For the Council ' s review, this claim is attached (Attachment 2) .
Both attachments were prepared by SLOACC staff to conform to TDA
requirements.
Amended Transit Budget
Consistent with pages 8-5 and 8-15 of the Short Range Transit Plan
(SRTP) approved by Council on November 5, 1991, the amended budget
for Transit operations, and maintenance, capital outlay, and
funding sources is:
Operations $494 , 000
Overhead 55, 000
Administration 85, 100
Non-Vehicle Maintenance 20, 000
Bus Rental 111000
Marketing 12 , 400
Total Operating Cost $677 , 500
Capital Outlay 656, 000
Total Expenditures 11333 , 500
Less estimated beginning fund balance,
farebox revenues, and capital grants (793 , 400)
Total TDA revenue required for
transit 540, 100
FISCAL IMPACT:
i
Consistent with the SRTP, the TDA claim requests that the
entitlement be spent in the following manner:
TDA Allocation
SLO Transit (from Short Range Transit Plan) $540, 100
SLO Regional Transit Authority 135, 080
Bike Projects* 18 , 994
Other Alternative Transportation Programs 268 , 801
TOTAL $962 , 975
It should be noted that the Regional Transit Authority has not
submitted its 1991-92 budget (as of November 1, 1991) and that the
City's contribution is unknown. Staff and SLOACC are using last
year' s actual for purposes of this TDA claim. It is very likely,
however, that the City will be asked to allocate substantially more
funds to the Regional Transit program to support a new service
contract. Any such adjustments will be funded from the $268, 801
estimated to be available as indicated above. Staff will return
to Council if any budget adjustments are needed.
