CONSENT AGENDA ITEM #/SUBJECT: # Consider a resolution authorizing the City of Lubbock's Chief Financial Officer to execute a Federal Transit Administration FY 2011 Section 5308 Clean Fuels Grant, #TX-58-0007-00. (Citibus) BACKGROUND DISCUSSION: The Federal Transit Administration has allocated $2,000,000 to The City of Lubbock/Citibus as part of a Section 5308 Clean Fuels Program Grant, #TX-58-0007-00. The fiends will be used to purchase three hybrid -electric buses, which will replace route buses that have exceeded their useful life. The new buses will be used for the Texas Tech University service. Citibus will replace six 35' RTS buses with the 35' low -floor, hybrid - electric buses. The remaining funds left in the Section 5308 grant will be combined with other grant funds to purchase a fourth bus once those funds are identified. The clean fuels program has a two -fold purpose. First, the program was developed to assist nonattainment and maintenance areas in achieving or maintaining the National Ambient Air Quality Standards for ozone and carbon monoxide (CO). Second, the program supports emerging clean fuel and advanced propulsion technologies for transit buses and markets for those technologies. Grants under this section are to assist recipients to finance eligible projects such constructing or leasing clean fuel bus facilities or electrical recharging facilities and related equipment or projects relating to clean fuel, biodiesel, hybrid electric, or zero emissions technology buses that exhibit equivalent or superior emissions reductions to existing clean fuel or hybrid electric technologies. Funds made available under this program cannot be used to fund operating expenses or preventive maintenance. Federal Transit Administration regulations require that all grants must be applied for and executed electronically. Therefore, the grant will need to be executed electronically by either the City of Lubbock's Chief Financial Officer or the Citibus General Manager once it is approved by the City Council. FISCAL IMPACT: Transportation Development Credits from the Texas Department of Transportation will allow for the Federal Transit Administration funds to be used at 100%, meaning no local match will be required. SUMMARY/RECOMMENDATION: The Lubbock Public Transit Advisory Board and Citibus recommends the approval of a resolution authorizing the City of Lubbock's Chief Financial Officer to execute the s Federal Transit Administration FY 2011 Section 5308 Discretionary Grant, #TX-58- 0007-00.
