Approval of the Regional Transit System (RTS) Ten-Year Transit Development Plan (TDP) Annual Update for FY2011 (B)
This item is a request for the City Commission to approve the annual update of the FY2011 Regional Transit System (RTS) Transit Development Plan (TDP).
Explanation
The Transit Development Plan (TDP) outlines service and capital improvements for transit in the community over a ten-year period. The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) requires that a transit system prepare an update to its TDP annually, and have it adopted by its governing board every five years, in order to maintain eligibility for FDOT state transit block grant funds. The City Commission acts as the governing board for public transit in the Gainesville urban area. The annual update to the RTS TDP was approved by FDOT on December 17, 2010.
Fiscal Note
During FY2009-FY2010, the City of Gainesville received $1,372,606 in FDOT transit block grant funds.
Recommendation
The City Commission approve the Ten-Year TDP Annual Update for FY2011.
