As Route 25, this service began in 2001, as a crosstown route that was anchored at one end by Citibus' https:Hftateamweb.fta.dot.gov/teainweb/Applicati ons/V iewPrint/Vi cwPrintRes.asp?GUID=... 6/8/2011 View Print Page 3 of 7 Downtown Transfer Plaza and at the other end by the Convergys call center, near 34th Street and West Loop 289. It was modified in 2007 and is now two routes, allowing service to an expanded area. Route 19("Wayland Plaza/South Plains Mall") serves the following educational facilities: - Bowie Elementary School -Dupre Elementary School -Wester Elementary School - Lubbock High School - Lubbock Christian University -Texas Tech University Significant areas of employment along Route 19 include: -Convergys -Covenant Health System (two locations) -Lubbock Christian University -South Plains Mall -Texas Tech University (Of these, Convergys, Covenant Health System, and Texas Tech University are listed by the Lubbock Economic Development Alliance as major local employers) Additionally, passengers on Route 19 have access to affordable housing, primarily near 32nd Street and Genoa and north of South Plains Mall, medical services at the two locations of Covenant Health System and the related facilities in the medical district, and the Social Security office. Route 34 ("34th Street/South Plains Mall") serves the following educational facilities: - Bean Elementary School -Stewart Elementary School -Williams Elementary School -O.L. Slaton Middle School - Hutchinson Middle School -Wilson Middle School -Byron Martin Advanced Technology Center -Coronado High School Significant areas of employment along Route 34 include: -The entire 34th Street corridor -South Plains Mall Additionally, passengers on Route 34 have access to the LIFE/Run Independent Living Center and the City/County Health Department. Service Summary Citibus proposes to use JARC funding to provide fixed route service on these two routes Monday-Saturday, on headways ranging from 30 minutes to one hour; the specific headway time will be designed to coordinate with the remainder of the system. The History In the past, planning partners for this service included the Texas Department of Human Services, WomenAEs Protective Services, LMPO, Women's Empowerment Program/Catholic Family Service, Inc. and the Texas Department of Transportation. All of these agencies have been involved with and supportive of Citibus'JARC program since our first program was funded; most of these agencies are currently involved in the local regional coordination efforts. Beginning in April 2005, Citibus has been the lead agency and has headed the regional transportation coordination efforts for the South Plains region.As part of the formal process of developing a regional plan, the regional group identified unmet needs across the region. One significant unmet need was identified as Citibus operating assistance and the associated remediation strategy was stated as, "Utilize JARC funds to maximum extent possible to offset loss of Federal operating assistance, while maintaining current route structure." The proposal, as outlined above, is vital in meeting the unmet need noted in the coordinated public https J/tateamweb.fta.dot.gov/tcamweb/Applications/ViewPrint/ViewPrintRes.asp`?GUID=... 6/8/2011 View Print Page 4 of 7 transportation plan.

CONSENT AGENDA ITEM #/SUBJECT: # Consider a resolution authorizing the City of Lubbock's Chief Financial Officer to execute a FY 2011 Federal Transit Administration Job Access and Reverse Commute Program Grant(Citibus). BACKGROUND DISCUSSION: The Federal Transit Administration has allocated$183,165 to The City of Lubbock/Citibus for a fiscal year 2011 Job Access and Reverse Commute Program Grant. The Jobs Access Reverse Commute Program (JARC)is designed to provide public transportation to employment, especially entry-level jobs. This grant will help to fund Route 19 and Route 34. FTA first awarded$73,052 in FY 2011 Jobs Access Reverse Commute Grant funds. That award was for the first five months of the FY 2011 allocation. FY 11 JARC funds are awarded based on FY 10 National Transit Database reports. JARC grant allocations are based on a formula that takes into account several factors including service levels. 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: Job Access Reverse Commute grants are 50/50 grants. The$183,165 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 Lubbock Public Transit 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 Job Access and Reverse Commute Program Grant.
