Project Details
This project will fund one replacement vehicle for Citibus' fixed route fleet. The vehicle that is being replaced is a
1996 RTS. The new vehicle will be a 30', low -floor, hybrid electric bus.
The funding for this project comes from an FY2008 Section 5309 earmark.
Citibus will use Transportation Development Credits as the local match for this project. These TDCs have been
previously awarded in Minute Orders 108381 and 108795; these minute orders are attached. The amount of the
TDC request is calculated as follows:

View Print Page 3 of 7
FTA amount - $490,000 x.8 = $406,700
$490,000 - $406,700 = $83,300 (TDC)
The transportation development credit balance is now $229,108 which will be used on a grant at a later date.
This project has been programmed in the TIP, which is attached.

AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY
II. CONSENT AGENDA
ITEM #/SUBJECT:
# Consider a resolution authorizing the Citibus General Manager to execute a Federal
Transit Administration FY 2008 Section 5309 Discretionary Grant, #TX -04-0023-00..
(Citibus)
BACKGROUND DISCUSSION:
The Federal Transit Administration has allocated $490,000 to The City of
Lubbock/Citibus as part of a Section 5309 Discretionary Grant, #TX -04-0023-00. The
funds will be used to fund one replacement vehicle for Citibus' fixed route fleet. Citibus
will replace a 1996 RTS with a 30', low -floor, hybrid electric bus.
Federal Transit Administration regulations require that all grants must be applied for and
executed electronically. Therefore, Citibus would like to request that the Mayor allow
Mr. John Wilson, Citibus General Manager, to execute this grant, once approved by 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:
Citibus recommends the approval of a resolution authorizing the Citibus General
Manager to execute the Federal Transit Administration FY 2008 Section 5309
Discretionary Grant, #TX -04-0023-00.
