LOUIS LOOP TROLLEY TRANSPORTATION DEVELOPMENT DISTRICT ___ 1. Issue or Purpose of Item. The purpose of this item is to request that the TriMet Board of Directors (“Board”) authorize the General Manager to execute an agreement with the St. Louis Loop Trolley Transportation Development District (“Loop Trolley”) transferring Vintage Trolley cars 511 and 512 to the Loop Trolley, subject to approval by the Federal Transit Administration (“FTA”). 2. Reason for Board Action. Board authorization for this transfer is required by FTA Circular 5010.1D, Grant Administration Requirements. The attached Resolution authorizing this transfer includes specific content required by Chapter IV, Section 3(l)(7)(b) of FTA Circular 5010.D. 3. Background. In August 2013, Loop Trolley contacted TriMet, expressing interest in using TriMet's Vintage Trolley cars for operation on the new Loop Trolley Project (“Project”), which will bring heritage streetcar service to downtown St. Louis. The Project is scheduled to begin construction in early 2014 and begin operations in mid-2015, and will run 2.2 miles along Delmar Boulevard and DeBaliviere Avenue in downtown St. Louis, with 10 stops, including two connecting with St. Louis MetroLink light rail. The Project has $25 million of FTA grant funding, and a total Project budget of $43 million. Loop Trolley representatives visited TriMet early in September 2013 to assess the suitability of TriMet's Vintage Trolley cars for the Loop Trolley.

Suite 3142 of Transportation Washington Seattle, WA 98174-1002 Federal Transit 206-220-7954 Administration 206-220-7959 (fax) SENT VIA ELECTRONIC MAIL ONLY June 28, 2017 Mr. Bruce Warner Board of Directors, President Tri-County Metropolitan Transportation District of Oregon 1800 SW 1st Avenue, Suite 300 Portland, OR 97201 Re: Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Fiscal Year 2017 Triennial Review– Final Report Dear Mr. Warner: The enclosed final report documents the FTA’s Triennial Review of Tri-County Metropolitan Transportation District of Oregon (TriMet) which took place on April 25-26, earlier this year. This review is required by United States Code, Chapter 53 of Title 49. Although not an audit, the Triennial Review is the FTA’s assessment of TriMet’s compliance with Federal requirements, determined by examining a sample of grant management and program implementation practices. As such, the Triennial Review is not intended as, nor does it constitute, a comprehensive and final review of compliance with grant requirements. The Triennial Review focused on TriMet’s compliance in 17 areas. No deficiencies were found with the FTA requirements in 15 areas. Deficiencies were found in two areas: Maintenance and Procurement. TriMet had no repeat deficiencies from the 2014 Triennial Review. Subsequent to the site visit, TriMet provided corrective action responses to close one of the deficiencies in the Maintenance area (48: vehicle maintenance plan incomplete or out of date). Also, corrective action provided for the Procurement area resulted in closing all the deficiencies (129: no FTA clauses, 290: lacking required justification(s) and documentation for non- competitive award(s), and 340: lacking independent cost estimate).
