Medina 650 TO PARTICIPATE IN THE ANTELOPE VALLEY COMMUTE MANAGEMENT PROGRAM At their June 12, 1990 meeting the Council approved staff recommendations to: 1) approve in concept the CTS" Commute Management Program Proposal, and 2) direct staff to seek funding from the private sector and report back to the Council. Attached is the June 12 staff report. Staff sought private sector funding for two reasons. First, this program will benefit Valley employers and assist them in meeting Regulation 15 requirements as mandated by the SCAQMD and second, although this program is Proposition A eligible, the City's current allocation levels of Prop A funds have been completely budgeted to implement new transit services. The Valencia Business Association and the Joint Chamber of Commerce Transportation. Committee have both been approached relative to funding. As of this date, the private sector has indicated that their budgets are set and have not offered financial assistance. Staff believes this program to -be valuable to all Santa Clarita residents and requests funds to be transferred from the General .Fund Unallocated Reserve to pay for the program this year. Staff is working on two possible sources of future Proposition A funds to pay for this program; however, a financial commitment is now being required -of the City so the program may go forward. These two possible sources are: 1) more Prop A funding based on the LACTC's acceptance of evidence showing a City's population is nearly 20,000 higher than current LACTC estimate, and 2) a successful application of a new-LACTC extension program. The cost of Commuter Transportation Services' (CTS) program proposal has been cut by over half the original amount, from $35,800 to $15,650. This -is due to CTS's decision to permanently fund the Account Executive position rather than ask the participating agencies to pay for the position. The main thrust of CTS's program proposal is to reduce the number of vehicles commuting on the Antelope Valley Freeway and Interstate 5 (between the Kern County line and the I-5 and 14 Junction). This would be accomplished by having the Account Executive implement a marketing program dedicated to promoting car and van pooling and related commuter services. The Account Executive would assist residents, businesses, developers and realtors, and the Chambers of Commerce in the creation transportation management associations and assist in providing ride -matching services. The requested funds are primarily for marketing cost associated with specific programs developed jointly by the participating local agencies. The cities of Lancaster and Palmdale have already approved funding as well as the CA ouRoom tyof Los Angeles. Agenda Item: 3 REQUEST FOR $15,650 TO PARTICIPATE IN THE ANTELOPE VALLEY FREEWAY AND I-5 COMMUTE MANAGEMENT PROGRAM Page 2 A new draft agreement is attached for the Council's consideration. It has been reviewed by the City Attorney's Office, and their comments have been forwarded to CTS to be included in the final agreement. When this document is ready and if funding is .approved, staff will present the final agreement to Council for its final approval. Approve the transfer of $15,650 from the General Fund Unallocated Reserve Account Number 01-4101-290, to the Transit Operations' Professional Services Account Number 18-6800-230. ATTACHMENT Staff Report JEM:dl:hs AGENDA REPORT i i City Manager Approval Item to be presented by: CONSENT CALENDAR John E. Medina DATE: June 12, 1990 SUBJECT: COMMUTE MANAGEMENT PROGRAM FOR THE I-5 AND THE ANTELOPE VALLEY FREEWAY/] DEPARTMENT: Public Works BACKGROUND Commuter Transportation Services, Inc. (CTS), has proposed to the Cities of Lancaster, Palmdale and Santa Clarita a program to promote and help organize ridesharing and vanpools. CTS is a non-profit company organized and operated for the purpose of promoting ridesharing and vanpooling, increasing use of transit and increasing participation in variable work hour programs, telecommuting and other trip reduction programs. The main thrust of CTS's proposal is to reduce the number of vehicles commuting on the Antelope Valley Freeway and Interstate 5, (between the Kern County line and the I-5 and 14 Junction). This could be accomplished by providing a full-time person and implementing a marketing program, both dedicated to promoting and assisting residents, businesses, developers, realtors and the Chamber of Commerce in the creation and operation of vanpools Attached is CTS's proposal. The cost of this proposal to the three cities is estimated to be $107,400 or $35,000 per city. Attachment I provides a cost breakdown. Additionally, the proposal requires that one of the three cities provide office space, equipment and access to clerical support. City Staff will investigate donations of possible office space within the Santa Clarita Valley. City staffs Jor both Lancaster and Palmdale are working with their 'respective City Councils to approve and fund CTS's proposal. This program can be an important element of addressing the City's and region's traffic problems. Staff recommends support of this program. All Proposition A funds for this year are programmed for the Transit Plan recently approved by the Council; consequently, staff recommends pursuing financial assistance from the private sector to fund this important program. RECOMMENDATION 1. Approve in concept the CTS proposal 2. Direct staff to seek funding from the private sector and report back to the Council. Agenda Item: - V S—[ ATTACHMENT I I I I O I C I _ ..
