funding received in the FY 2007 Budget. The FY 2007 budget amount is $15,993,047. A combination of
STAF and LTF will be used as local match for this project.
Midlife Rehab
Omnitrans replaces, updates, and overhauls parts on buses to keep them running. This project funds the
midlife repair of coaches and replacement of worn/outmoded parts. LTF will be used as local match
because California Transportation Development Act (TDA) guidelines do not allow the use of STAF funds
for this function.
Facility Improvements
Improvements and upkeep are necessary to make sure that Omnitrans facilities are kept in working order
and do not fall into disrepair. Each year the maintenance department identifies specific projects that are
included in this allocation.
sbX
