    Transportation Development Act Triennial Performance Audits

    TTAC STAFF REPORT SUBJECT: Transportation Development Act Triennial Performance Audits MEETING DATE: December 1, 2016 AGENDA ITEM: 5 STAFF CONTACT: Andrew Orfila, Peter Imhof RECOMMENDATION: Review and recommend that the Board approve the draft Triennial Performance Audits for FYs 2012/13-2014/15 for Santa Barbara Metropolitan Transit District (SBMTD), Santa Maria Area Transit (SMAT), City of Lompoc Transit (COLT), Santa Ynez Valley Transit (SYVT), City of Guadalupe Transit, Santa Barbara County Transit (Cuyama and Los Alamos), Easy Lift, the Santa Maria Organization of Transportation Helpers (SMOOTH), and SBCAG. SUMMARY: California Public Utilities Code (PUC) Section 99246 requires regional transportation planning agencies (RTPAs) such as SBCAG to conduct performance audits every three years of its activities as well as the activities of the transit operators to which it allocates Transportation Development Act (TDA) funds. SBCAG allocates TDA funds to the Santa Barbara Metropolitan Transit District (MTD), Santa Maria Area Transit (SMAT), City of Lompoc Transit (COLT), Santa Ynez Valley Transit (SYVT), City of Guadalupe Transit, Santa Barbara County Transit (Cuyama and, until June 2013, Los Alamos Shuttle), Easy Lift, and the Santa Maria Organization of Transportation Helpers (SMOOTH). SBCAG contracted with Michael Baker International to conduct the TDA triennial performance audits for FYs 2012/13 through 2014/15. Michael Baker International reviewed compliance, implementation of prior audit recommendations, and agency functions, and made findings and recommendations for SBCAG and each of the transit operators. The findings and recommendations from the final draft audits of SBCAG and the transit operators are attached. TTAC is asked to review and recommend that the Board approve the triennial performance audits.

    Intercommunity Transit Service

    STAFF REPORT TO: TTAC, NCTAC, SBCTAC SUBJECT: Intercommunity Transit Service MEETING DATE: May 4, 2004 AGENDA ITEM: 4 RECOMMENDATION: A. Recommend approval of final draft Intercommunity Transit Service Implementation Plan between Lompoc – VAFB – Santa Maria. B. Recommend selection of lease/purchase budget scenario for development of CMAQ application. C. Review and comment on draft, Memorandum of Understanding, between the cities of Santa Maria, Lompoc, the County of Santa Barbara, and the Santa Barbara County Association of Governments, Regarding Coordination of a Three-Year Pilot Project to Provide Regular, Fixed Route, Commuter Public Transportation Service between Lompoc and Santa Maria. DISCUSSION: Background Last month staff obtained input from various advisory committees such as TTAC (Technical Transportation Advisory Committee) North County Transit Advisory Committee (NCTAC), and the Santa Barbara County Transit Advisory Council (SBCTAC) on the draft Transit Service Implementation Plan. The North County Transit Advisory Committee met on March 30 and approved the draft plan with the recommendation that a bus leasing option be given priority consideration so the service is delivered expeditiously. The Santa Barbara County Transit Advisory Council met later that same day and recommended that a leasing option be given priority consideration so the service is delivered expeditiously and that a low – floor bus configuration be selected to facilitate use of the service by disabled users. TTAC met on April 1 and requested the following adjustments to the assumptions in the development of the final plan: re-examine fuel costs due to recent increase in fuel price, assess implications of schedule on driver needs due to likelihood of split shifts increasing costs, delete Lakeview SB stop, add a formal annual evaluation period, at the end of two years assess continuation of service based on performance standards, and increase costs for comparable ADA transit service option.
