RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt a resolution approving the Culver
CityBus Fiscal Year 2015/2017 Short Range Transit Plan.
BACKGROUND:
The Short Range Transit Plan (SRTP) is the planning and policy document that
establishes performance goals and objectives, enhancements, and a financial plan
for Culver CityBus (CCB) over the next two fiscal years. This policy document is
instrumental in providing the Transportation Department with a guide for the near
future.
Should the City Council approve the SRTP, it will be submitted to the Los Angeles
Metropolitan Transportation Authority (Metro). Metro incorporates the documents
from all of the local transit agencies into the Regional Transportation Improvement
Program (RTIP), which is the regional planning and funding document submitted to
the State Department of Transportation and the Federal Transit Administration.
DISCUSSION:
The SRTP provides an overview of the CCB transit system, discusses funding,
finances, and regulations related to CCB, and describes CCB’s accomplishments
and goals. It also discusses the transit planning for projects that will significantly
impact transportation around Culver City, such as the Playa Vista Project and Los
Angeles International Airport expansion.

Agenda Item Report
Adoption of the Resolution will also authorize the Transportation Director or his
designee to submit documents and information pertaining to the Short Range Transit
Plan; file and claim funds made available by federal, state, and local funding
programs; and submit all reports mandated by federal, state, and local agencies that
provide funds to the Culver CityBus Enterprise Fund
FISCAL ANALYSIS:
The Financial Plan contained in the SRTP identifies the funding sources for our
operating and capital budgets. On the Federal level, discretionary capital will be
used to complete various projects, such as the replacement of CNG buses. State
and local transportation revenues that are to be allocated to Culver City were
approved by the Metro Board. These funds are based on a County formula among
the transit agencies. Metro holds and allocates the County funds according to the
amounts approved by the Metro Board.
