Recommendation: Adopt
SUMMARY
Arcadia Transit is eligible to receive Transportation Development Act (TDA) Article 4
funds. In order to receive TDA Article 4 funds, the City of Arcadia is required to submit
claim forms authorized by the City Council. Attached for the City Council's review and
approval is Resolution No. 6853 authorizing the City Manager to submit claim forms for
FY 2012 -13 TDA Article 4 funds in a total amount of $281,808. Once approved, the
claim forms will be submitted to the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation
Authority (Metro) for processing. It is recommended that the City Council adopt
Resolution No. 6853.
BACKGROUND
The California State Legislature adopted the Transportation Development Act - Article 4
(SB325) in 1971 to generate revenue from retail sales tax and gasoline /diesel sales tax
for public transportation projects. The funds are allocated by the Southern California
Association of Governments (SCAG) via the Local Transportation Fund (LTF) and the
State Transit Assistance (STA) programs based on area population and transit fare
revenue generated by an agency's local transit system. Metro serves as the regional
planning agent for Los Angeles County, and administers and processes the funds to
each participating municipal transit operator.
DISCUSSION
Local Transportation Fund (LTF) revenue is derived from one -fourth of one percent
(0.0025) of the retail sales tax collected statewide for transportation planning and mass
Resolution 6853

transit activity. The California State Board of Equalization returns the quarter cent to
each County according to the amount of taxes collected in its jurisdiction. Eligible uses
include public transit, program administration, transportation planning, pedestrian and
bicycle facilities, special group transportation service, and rail passenger service. The
City of Arcadia has been allocated $220,167 in FY 2012 -13 in LTF funds to operate
Arcadia Transit.
The State Transit Assistance (STA) fund was approved in 1980 as a secondary source
of revenue for SB 325 dedicated to public transit operation and capital expenditures.
STA revenue is generated from the statewide sales tax on gasoline and diesel fuels,
and is appropriated by the California State Controller's Office to the regional
Transportation Planning Agencies (i.e., Metro) for formula allocation. The formula is
calculated using 50% population count and 50% operator revenues for the prior fiscal
year. The City of Arcadia has been allocated $61,641 in FY 2012 -13 in STA Funds for
Arcadia Transit operations.
In order to receive TDA Article 4 funds, the City of Arcadia is required to submit claim
forms authorized by the City Council. Resolution No. 6853 authorizes the City Manager
to submit claim forms for FY 2012 -13 TDA Article 4 funds in a total amount of $281,808.
Once approved, the claim forms will be submitted to the Los Angeles County
Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) for processing.
FISCAL IMPACT
The City of Arcadia will receive a total of $281,808 in TDA Article 4 funds — LTF and
STA — for FY 2012 -13 to operate Arcadia Transit.
