This process requires at least one public hearing for the purpose of soliciting comments on unmet transit needs that may exist within the jurisdictions. DISCUSSION: In Butte County the UTN process entails a comprehensive public outreach program and series of open house style meetings throughout the county, culminating with a public hearing before the BCAG Board of Directors to obtain testimony on perceived unmet transit needs that may be reasonable to meet. The purpose of this process is to ensure all unmet transit needs that are reasonable to meet are met before funds are expended for non-transit uses, such as streets and roads. Once the testimony is obtained, it is analyzed to determine if there are any transit needs that meet the adopted definitions of"Unmet Transit Need" and "Reasonable to Meet'. This analysis report, called the Transit Needs Assessment, is reviewed by the Social Services Transportation Advisory Council (SSTAC), which provides a recommendation for Unmet Transit Needs Findings to the BCAG Board of Directors. If the Board determines there are unmet transit needs that are reasonable to meet, the affected jurisdiction must satisfy those needs before any TDA funds may be expended for non- transit purposes. Open house meetings were held last week in Oroville, Paradise, Chico and Gridley to obtain comments. It was noted that all comments received, whether in person or by another form, receive equal consideration when being analyzed. These meetings, along with this final public hearing, were promoted in local newspapers, on the buses and on the Internet. If someone was unable to attend a meeting, they were encouraged to submit their comments by phone, email, or comment card. Comment cards were available on all transit vehicles. STAFF RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the Board open the public hearing to obtain testimony on any unmet transit needs that may exist. Key staff: Jim Peplow, Senior Planner Cheryl Massae, Human Resources Manager BCAG BUTTE COUNTY ASSOCIATION Line OF GOVERNMENTS Butte Regional Transit Transit Taking You Where You Need to Go?
