  • Santa Rosa Citybus Tracks Revenue and Expenditures It Is Necessary to Use a Proportion-Based Methodology to Meet the Requirements for NTD Reporting
    Triennial Performance Audit of the City of Santa Rosa Transit Services (CityBus) Fiscal Years 2013/14, 2014/15 and 2015/16 FINAL AUDIT REPORT prepared for the by May 2017 NOTE: All exhibits in this report are presented at the end of the associated discussion in each section. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This executive summary highlights the findings from the performance audit of the City of Santa Rosa’s transit services. In California, a performance audit must be conducted every three years of any transit operator receiving Transportation Development Act (TDA) Article 4 funds, to determine whether the operator is in compliance with certain statutory and regulatory requirements, and to assess the efficiency and effectiveness of the operator’s services. The two service modes operated by the City, bus and paratransit, are the focus of this performance audit. The audit period is Fiscal Years 2014 through 2016 (from July 1, 2013 through June 30, 2016). Performance Audit and Report Organization The performance audit is being conducted for MTC in accordance with its established procedures for performance audits. The draft audit report consists of these sections: • An assessment of data collection and reporting procedures; • A review of performance trends in TDA-mandated indicators and component costs; • A review of compliance with selected PUC requirements; • An evaluation of Santa Rosa’s actions to implement the recommendations from the last performance audit; • An evaluation of functional performance indicator trends; and • Findings, conclusions, and recommendations to further improve Santa Rosa’s performance based on the results of the previous sections. Final Audit Report - i - Triennial Performance Audit of Santa Rosa Comments received from Santa Rosa and MTC staff regarding the draft report will be incorporated into the final report.

The system has more road miles than any other Bay Area county and combined has a huge rural network with urban and suburban systems. Transportation System | 3-2 COMPREHENSIVE TRANSPORTATION PLAN — SEPTEMBER 2016 In most Bay Area counties, cities own approximately two-thirds of the mileage, and the county only a quarter. In Sonoma County, this formula is reversed, with the County of Sonoma responsible for maintaining over half of the roadway system. There are over 2,700 miles of public roadways countywide, by far the greatest amount among the regions counties.1 The reconstruction value of this infrastructure is estimated at $3.3 billion in 2016,2 excluding state highways. The California State Department of Transportation (Caltrans) owns and maintains more than 230 centerline miles of highway, with more than three-quarters of it in the rural portions of the county. The State high- ways are among the most heavily traveled routes (e.g., Highway 101), and because of this, carry half or more of the daily vehicle miles traveled (VMT) in Sonoma County.
