YEAR 2019-20 TRANSPORTATION DEVELOPMENT ACT – ARTICLE 4
CLAIM FORMS TO RECEIVE CAPITAL AND OPERATING FUNDS FOR
ARCADIA TRANSIT
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
annual claim forms authorized by the City Council. Attached for City Council review and
approval is Resolution No. 7301 authorizing the City Manager to submit claim forms for
Fiscal Year 2019/20 TDA Article 4 funds in a total amount of $497,947. 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. 7301.
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 agency for Los Angeles County, and administers and processes the funds to
each participating municipal transit operator.
Resolution 7301 Transportation Development
Act Funds for Arcadia Transit
April 7, 2020
Page 2 of 3
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
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 $361,705 in Fiscal Year 2019/20 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 $71,345 in Fiscal Year 2019/20 in STA
Funds for Arcadia Transit operations. The Senate Bill 1, Road Repair and
Accountability Act of 2017 allocated additional STA Funds in the amount of $61,879 for
transit capital.
DISCUSSION
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. 7301 authorizes the City Manager
to submit claim forms for FY 2019/20 TDA Article 4 funds in a total amount of $497,947.
Once approved, the claim forms will be submitted to the Los Angeles County
Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro) for processing.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
The proposed action does not constitute a project under the California Environmental
Quality Act (“CEQA”), and it can be seen with certainty that it will have no impact on the
environment. Thus, this matter is exempt under CEQA.
FISCAL IMPACT
The City of Arcadia will receive $361,705 in TDA Article 4 Funds-LTF and $71,345 in
STA Funds for Fiscal Year 2019/20 to operate Arcadia Transit, and $61,879 in STA
Funds for transit capital.

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended the City Council determine that this action does not constitute a
project and is therefore exempt under the California Environmental Quality Act
(“CEQA”); and adopt Resolution No. 7301 authorizing the submittal of the Fiscal Year
2019-20 Transportation Development Act – Article 4 Claim Forms to receive capital and
operating funds for Arcadia Transit.
