The majority of funding for the buses for the City's transit system comes from the federal source
known as Section 9 (of the Urban Mass Transportation Act of 1964, as amended). On December
14, 1993, the Council authorized the City Manager to apply for an appropriation from the Federal
Transit Administration in the 1994 funding cycle. Itis now time to apply again, for the 1995
cycle. The amount is $611,655 and will be augmented by a local match of $222,202 from Prop.
A funds. Funds appropriated through these sources will be used to finance the bond debt for the
City's 29 transit and commuter buses that are dependent upon federal funding. Use of these
funding sources enable the financing of the buses so that no general fund money is needed.
The bus bond project to be funded by this application is included in the City's Short Range
Transportation Plan (SRTP). The SRTP has been approved by the Southern California Association
of Governments (SCAG) as part of its program of projects and Regional Transportation
Improvement Program (RTIP).
