Acceptance of Florida Department of Transportation Grant for New Opa-locks Community Bus Route
Staff Summary:
issue: The City has received a Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) grant for up to $255,121 for one
year of a second community bus route within the City which requires the City to match one-half of the annual
cost of this program.
Background: The City currently has one community bus route, operated by Limousines of South Florida,
which covers a route between the Opa-Iocka Tri Rail Station on Ali Baba and Walgreens on NW 27th Avenue.
This program is funded through a County surtax for transportation programs, administered by the County
Citizens Independent Transportation Trust (CITT). This program currently costs approximately $210,000
annually and in some years is fully funded by CITT funds. This program also provides another approximately
$600,000 annually to the City for roadway improvements.
The City previously had a second southerly route which connected the Tri Rail Station, Miami Dade College
North Campus, and other public destinations within the City. This route had also been funded by grants but
was terminated several years ago when these grants became no longer available_
Current Activity: The City has received a FDOT grant for up to $255,121 to reactivate the dormant southern
route. This grant is to be used to cover one-half of the cost of operating this route. The City is required to fund
the other half of this program. CITT staff has indicated the City won't receive additional CITT funding if the
City chooses to operate a second bus route. Consequently, operation of a second route will require
identification of City funding not currently budgeted for this purpose.
The cost of operating a second route isn't yet precisely known, but has been estimated to possibly cost up to
$510,000 annually. Using this amount for discussion purposes, the City will have to identify $255,000 of City
funding to cover this unbudgeted program. It is believe the FDOT grant may be available for up to three years,
although this hasn't been confirmed. Assuming this is correct, over the three-year period, the City would have
to reprogram approximately $765,000 of funding not identified in the City's five-year plan.
Financial Impact: With the recent completion of the FY 18 CITT audit, $261,546 of funds withheld by CITT
are being released to the City. These unbudgeted funds can be used to cover the City's match for the first year
of operations for the additional bus route. Additionally, the FY 18 audit identified $469,982 was available at
that time for future bus operations.
In regard to bus operations, CITT establishes a target amount to be used for bus operations each year. If the
City spends less than that amount, the difference goes into a "bank" to be available for future year bus
operations. The "bank' had $469,982 as of the end of FY 18. If the City spends more than the target amount
and the City has a surplus in the "bank", the City will be reimbursed for the amount of expenditure exceeding
the target from the 'bank'.
The City spends around $210,000 annually for the current bus route while being allocated a target of
approximately $150,000 annually from CITT for this purpose, a $60,000 differential. Currently, this differential
will be reimbursed from the "bank". At this rate, the funds available in the "bank" will cover the differential
from the current route through FY 26. Alternatively, if the "bank" is used to fund the second year of the City's
match of the second bus route, the funds in the "bank" will be fully utilized by the end of FY 22.
Under this scenario, with no funds remaining in the "bank" in FY 23, the City will have to identify alternative
funding sources to cover the third year of the match for the new route (approximately $255,000) and the
ongoing differential from the current route (approximately $60,000) for a total of $315,000.
A possible source of this funding is CITT funding tentatively intended for roadway work As indicated
previously, CITT allocates to the City approximately $600,000 annually for roadway work This amount is
sufficient to resurface approximately 4.5 miles of roads. Additionally the City receives approximately $300,000
of gas tax revenue in the Safe Neighborhood Fund which is required to be used for roadway work and which
can translate to another 2.3 miles of resurfacing. These funds can also be used for related activity such as
sidewalk installation and renovation.
The City is responsible for maintaining the equivalent of approximately 48 miles of two-lane roads. Once the
major effort of restoring City roads is completed, it is anticipated that a normal roadway preservation schedule
can be implemented. This is based on a ten-year cycle, or slightly less than five miles of preservation activity
per year. By FY 23, it is believed that road restoration will have progressed to the point that a normal
preservation schedule can be implemented. If no other funding sources are identified for the City's match for
the two routes in FY 23, it's believed that $310,000 can be diverted from the CITT roadway allocation to fund
the two routes, a permissible Cl1T option, without adversely impacting the ongoing roadway preservation
program. $310,000 is equal to approximately 2.4 miles of roadway resurfacing or slight less than 2 miles of
new side walk installation.
On the above basis, it is believed that the second route is affordable for the next three years. A significant
change in any of the above assumptions will necessitate a reconsideration of the second route over the three-
year period, and if the FDOT grant becomes no longer available, either at the latter portion of the three-year
period or beyond, the feasibility of continuing the second route will have to be revisited.
Staff believes the second bus route is important enough that funds can be diverted as necessary from
infrastructure investment to fund this service over the next three year. It is recommended the City Commission
approve acceptance of the FDOT grant for the second bus route and direct that a RFP to provide bus services
for the southerly route be issued.

OPA-LOCKA SOUTH ROUTE SHUTTLE BUS PROPOSAL.
SCENARIO -A (Original Route plus Amazon Location)
Operating Costs
FY 2021/2022 - $510,242
FY 2022/2023 - $537,654
FY 2023/2024 - $588,829
Project Scope of Service
The proposed project will reinstate the Opa-locka South Route shuttle bus service and will also
modify it by adding one stop to the route. The route will have six location stops along the South
area of the City of Opa-locka (City) that will connect to Miami Dade Transit Metrobus service and
the Opa-locka Tri-Rail Station, which allows passengers to travel throughout Miami Dade County,
Broward County and Palm Beach County. This route will be complimentary to existing MDT
Metrobus services.
A 2009 Opa-locka Transit Circulator System Study prepared for the City identified the need for a
transit circulator system in the City and identified a need for better public transit service in the City
of Opa-locka. The SFRTA's annual Transit Development Plan also identifies a need for improved
interconnections between Tri-Rail stations and major South Florida destinations.
The City already had the opportunity to have this route in operation during the period of February
2011 to October 2016. During this period the service was funded by Federal Transit Administration
(FTA) Job Access and Reverse Commute (JARC) Grant which contributed with 50% of the
funding. The other 50% of the cost was funded between the South Florida Regional Transportation
(SFRTA) and City of Opa-locka with an equally contribution of 25% each.
The JARC Grant Program was repealed by the federal government and funding is no longer
available to support continued service. Additionally, the Funding Agreement between SFRTA
and the City expired on June 30, 2016. The route ceased operations effective November 1, 2016.
A service equity analysis completed prior to the route elimination showed that the discontinuation
of the route adversely affected minority populations and disproportionately burdened the low-
income populations currently serviced by the SFRTA Commuter Bus system.
Funds Needed
Funds are needed to cover the full operating costs; or at a minimum 50% of the operating cost.
The City will seek matching funds from Miami Dade County Citizens' Independent
Transportation Trust Program (CITT) to cover the balance.

Start Service
If funds are available is expected to start in July 2021.

LETTER OF COMMITMENT
FDOT FY 2021 SERVICE DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION
Dear Mr. Freeman:
The City of Opa-locka is currently working to reinstate the South Route Shuttle Bus Service. This route was
implemented in the FY 2011, and was successfully in operation until October 2016. Fifty percent (50%) of the
Program was funded by the Federal Transit Administration Job Access Reverse Commute Grant Program, twenty-
five percent (25%) was funded by South Florida Regional Transportation, and the remaining twenty-five (25%) of
it was funded by City match. Unfortunately, this route had to be discontinued when the program was repealed by
the federal government and the City itself cannot fund this service alone.
The City hopes to get requested funds from the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) to re -start this
route that was very convenient to our low -middle income population and the visitors of the area in general.
If the City is awarded the fifty percent (50%) of the service cost from FDOT, the remaining balance will be funded
by Citizen's Independent Transportation Program (CITT), and the City might be amenable to contribute with a
portion as well.
Thanking you in advance for supporting our City.
