SUBJECT.
Subm1ss1on of AppllcabnnsUnder Sectlon 3 and Sectlon 5
of the Urban Mass Transportatlon Act of 1964 and the
Sett1ng of a Date for the PubliC Hearing on the Applicat10ns
Introduct1on
The 1nltial step in submitting an application for federal mass transpor-
tatlon funds 1S to authorize the C1ty Manager to flle such a document
and to set the date for a publlC hear1ng on the application. Th1S report
requests that the City Council do thiS to enable the Transportation Department
to rece1ve federal grant funds for both capital and operating purposes.
Background
The City'S Transportat1on Department lS ellgible to receive federal funds
both to assist ln purchaslng cap1tal ltems and to help cover operat1onal
defic1ts, under the Urban Mass Transportat1on Act of 1964, as amended.
In order to obtain such funds, an appllcatlon must be flIed with the federal
Urban Mass Transportation ~dmlnlstratlon.
Local Share of Grants
Grants made by U~ITA for capital purchases must be matched by a local con-
trlbution of 20% of the gross project cost, WhiCh the Department intends to
obta1n from sales tax revenues made avallable to the Bus Llnes through the
Local Transportat1on Fund, better known as SB 325, and from revenues derived
from the sale of used buses.
The grant request used to cover operating defic1ts must be matched equally
by local funds
Local funds for thiS purpose are again avallable to the
Department through SB 325 and through revenue derived from the sale of
advertising space on the buses.

The operating grant application requests $1,604,000. Because of the peculi-
arltles of U\ITA rules, It IS better for the Transportatlon Department to
apply for the maxImum amount that can currently be JustIfIed. If approved,
the grant cannot exceed $1,604,000. However, the amount may be less, based
upon actual operating results for FY 1978/79.
Although the federal government allows capltal and operatIng grants to
be applled for under Section 5 of the Urban Mass Transportation ~ct,
the Southern California ~SSOclatlon of Governments, in its role as the
metropolltan plannlng organIzation, requIres that only operatIng funds
be applled for under Sectlon 5 and that all capItal grant requests be
made under SectIon 3. Thls necessltates the submlsSlon of two appl1catlons.
Bus Purchase
The appl1catIon for capltal ass1stance WIll help the Department purchase
flfteen new alr-condltloned, d1esel transIt buses. The buses WIll be used
to replace fifteen coaches built in 1967 and 1968. The gross cost of the
buses 1S est1mated to be $2,174,997, of WhlCh Sl,674,997 wlll be the federal
share. ~o C1ty general funds K1lI be needed to flnance the local share of
eIther grant.
By authorlz1ng the C1ty ~anager to flle the appllcatlons, the Manager can
offlc1ally subm1t them to ~ITA, through the Southern Callfornla ~ssOClatlon
of Governments, for thelr concurrence after the completIon of the publlc
hearlng.
