Re: 2009 Metropolitan Council Transit Funding Management Plan
Date: September 10, 2008
Council Action Requested:
Approve the 2009 management plan for submittal to Metropolitan Council for 2009 funding of
the City's transit (TRAC) program.
Background Information:
Each year, the City prepares a management plan for both MnDOT and Metropolitan Council for
state and federal funding assistance with the City's transit (TRAC) program. In July, the City
Council approved a resolution for the MnDOT annual management plan. The Met Council plan
has been prepared and reviewed by Met Council staff. Hastings City Council is requested to
approve the 2009 Met Council plan.
Both agencies provide annual operational funding of the TRAC program. In 2009, that amount is
budgeted to be $42,600 from MnDOT and $250,840 from Met Council. The annual amounts
from both agencies are similar to what the City received in 2008. Other proposed funding comes
from fares ($61,250) and budgeted dollars ($33,251.75).
If you have any questions, please let me know.
Thank you.
