The Project
Citibus is proposing that FY 2011 New Freedom funds be used to fund a Mobility Manager position at Citibus, as
well as fund paratransit trips outside the ADA 3/4 mile boundary and all evening service trips for the FYII fiscal
years.

As identified during the regional coordination process, educating passengers and potential passengers on how to
access transit services is a valuable component to providing a complete package of transportation options.
Unfortunately, funding considerations often mean that this component is not fully utilized. Citibus believes that a
coordinated, community -wide approach to educating potential passengers will reap rewards.
Citibus intends to use New Freedom funds to assist members of our community in learning how the use of transit
can impact their lives by giving them additional mobility options and freedom of travel. Citibus' program focuses
on awareness, knowledge, and skills, each of which builds upon the other. Key components include travel
instruction and travel training.
The position of Mobility Manager reflect the South Plains Region's Regional Coordination Plan finding that travel
training and/or bus familiarization was an unmet need in the region. In developing the regional plan, all agencies
and transportation providers agreed that getting information and instruction to transit users and potential users
was an area where a great deal of improvement was needed. One of the earliest concerns the South Plains
group had was how to teach consumers to know which vehicle they were supposed to board in the event that
coordination of transportation services meant that more than one provider would have vehicles in specific areas.
Additionally, given the fact that large numbers of our current passengers have various disabilities that makes
learning a transit system a challenge, it has become increasingly obvious that a targeted approach to mobility
instruction would be benefit in our area.
Because of the broad community reach represented by the participants in the regional process, Citibus feels
strongly that the members of the public who can benefit from a Mobility Manager at Citibus have been
represented during the process.
New Freedom funding will also subsidize paratransit trips beyond 3/4 mile (roughly 350 tripslyear) and all
evening demand response trips (roughly 4,000 trips/year).
2/18/2011 - Page 7075 of the 2/8/2011 Federal Register indicates a NF allocation of $28,805 under the current
Continuing Resolution. This is said to be a 5/12 allocation, so a future revision will be required when the
supplemental allocation is released.

AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
II. CONSENT AGENDA
ITEM WSUBJECT:
# Consider a resolution authorizing the City of Lubbock's Chief Financial Officer to execute
a FY 2011 New Freedom Mobility Management Grant (Citibus).
BACKGROUND DISCUSSION:
The Federal Transit Administration has allocated $28,805 to The City of Lubbock/Citibus for a
fiscal year 2011 New Freedom Mobility Management Grant. The funds will be used to fund a
Mobility Manager position (Director of Transportation) at Citibus, to provide paratransit trips
outside of the ADA a/ mile service area, and the Nite Ride Program. Citibus intends to use New
Freedom funds to assist members of our community in learning how the use of transit can impact
their daily lives by giving them additional mobility options and freedom of travel. The position
of Mobility Manager reflects the South Plains Region's Regional Coordination Plan finding that
travel training and/or bus familiarization was an unmet need in the region.
The $28,805 that has been awarded is five months of the FY 2011 allocation. New Freedom
funds are based on a formula using data from the FY 10 National Transit Database reports.
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 the City
of Lubbock's Chief Financial Officer once it is approved by the City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The $15,411 local match for this grant has already been included in the FY 2011 Citibus budget.
Acceptance of this grant will result in no additional cost to the City of Lubbock.
SUMMARY/RECOMMENDATION:
The Transportation Advisory Board and Citibus recommend the approval of a resolution
authorizing the City of Lubbock's Chief Financial Officer to execute the Federal Transit
Administration FY 11 New Freedom Mobility Management Grant.
