BACKGROUND To receive the state operating and maintenance allocations for FY21, The Jule is required to submit a Consolidated Funding Application (CFA). This annual application requires that, along with other documents, a Certificate of Cost Allocation Plan, and an Authorizing Resolution be submitted. The Jule, as the public transit agency operated by the City of Dubuque, receives a portion of its annual operating funds from the Iowa Department of Transportation (IA DOT)/Office of Public Transit (OPT) and/or Federal Transit Administration (FTA). The timely submittal of the Consolidated Funding Application is critical to ensuring the release of funds. DISCUSSION By signing the Authorizing Resolution, city council states that it (1) authorizes Ryan Knuckey, Director of Transportation Services, to apply for The Jule's annual operating and maintenance allocations from IDOT and (2) has sufficient non-federal funds or sufficient in-kind match to provide local match. BUDGET IMPACTS The following funding/revenue amounts are budgeted and will be received if the Consolidated Funding Application and required documentation are submitted. The State Operating Allocation and 5310 funding is determined by combining annual fixed route and paratransit service ridership, revenue miles and operating expenses, which is weighted along with locally generated revenue/financial support. The total population of each city or region is portioned as a percentage of Iowa's total population, which is weighted to percentage of formula funding. The Jule's share of funding for FY23 is 2.02%. In Fiscal Year (FY) 2023, the IA DOT/ Office of Public Transit (OPT) has projected that The Jule's State Operating Allocation will be $337,216 and the Section 5310 formula allocation will be $79,816 for a projected total of$417,032 in FY 2023 allocated funding.
