SUMMARY
The City's Transit System has been operating from the Public Works Center (PWC) since 2002. Up to 2002, the City was the direct transit operator and starting in 2007 the San Diego Metropolitan Transit System (MTS) assumed operation of the transit system from the PWC under a City/MTS Memorandum of Understanding. The City maintains control of pre-consolidation, prior-year, Transportation Development Act (TDA) funds. These funds are available to the City for operational and capital transit projects and are held at the County of San Diego (COUNTY).
This action authorizes the requisition of the TDA funds from the COUNTY and the appropriation of the funds to slurry seal and restripe the PWC/Transit yard.
