BACKGROUND
The City currently has a bond debt obligation for the purchase of bus equipment. This
annual obligation is approximately $960,000.
Staff has received preliminary support from the LACTC for receipt of Federal funds, under
the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act, for 88.5% of the annual bond debt, or
$850,000.
In order for the City to receive this assistance, a grant application must be submitted through
the Federal Transportation Administration (FTA) office in San Francisco.
Acceptance of Federal assistance would automatically preclude the City from chartering any
of its buses. In the event Council approves staff recommendation, existing charter
obligations should be notified that cancellation may occur if funding is approved by the FTA.
A copy of the application is on file in the City Clerk's office.
