Total Transportation Development Credits in lieu of 15% Local Match $270,000 Total Project Cost: $1,800,000
Transportation Development Credits provide the local share. Because Transportation Development Credits do not allocate actual money toward project expenses, a 100% federal share is reflected where the credits are applied.
This activity was included in the 2025 FTIP. The project was last revised and submitted in Amendment #
25.-05.
This project applies $1,800,000 to fund bus replacement. We will purchase one (1) battery electric bus with an expected useful life of 12 years or 500,000 miles. The vehicle being replaced has met its useful life of 12 years and will be disposed of according to Federal requirements. A Federal ratio of 85/15 will be applied. These buses will meet the Clean Air Act (CAA) standards and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements. We are able to operate and maintain these vehicles and we have a contingency plan for inactive fleet. Information about the replaced vehicle has been uploaded to TrAMS under Application Documents.
Project Benefits
The City of Commerce Transportation Department's mission is to serve its community by providing efficient transit service committed to quality, safety, and excellence. The City of Commerce's overall objective is to provide reliable transportation to riders by connecting residents to places of education, employment, and other essential activities and opportunities in the service area and the region. The City's routes connect patrons to many regional activity centers such as Downtown Los Angeles, the Citadel Outlets, City of Commerce Libraries, the Commerce Shopping Center, and the City of Commerce City Hall.
A new bus will increase transit service reliability, decrease the city's maintenance costs, and improve air quality. Reliable service encourages current customers to consider taking City of Commerce transit for additional trips. They would also attract potential customers who would consider taking public transportation if it is efficient and reliable.

This project is programmed in the 2025 FTIP ID LA9919362. The project was updated and approved in Administrative Modification #25-05.
This project applies $1,800,000 to fund the bus replacement project. The City will purchase one (1) new battery-electric, 40-foot bus with an expected useful life of 12 years or 500,000 miles. The new bus will have 40 seats and be fully equipped with low floors and two-position bike racks. The vehicle being replaced has met its useful life of 12 years and will be disposed of according to Federal requirements. A Federal ratio of 85/15 will be applied. These buses will meet the Clean Air Act (CAA) standards and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements. We are able to operate and maintain these vehicles. Information for the vehicles being replaced has been uploaded to TrAMS under Application Documents.
0.75 Percent for Safety Requirement:
At least a total of $13,500 of the budget for this new bus will support and provide a safe means of travel for the public and protect operators in the event of a vehicle accident or fire. This low-floor, heavy-duty transit vehicle complies with The Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) that govern design, construction, performance, and durability requirements for motor vehicles and regulate safety-related components, systems, and design features. This vehicle complies with Fire Safety Standard 302, Flammability of Interior Materials.

Project Environmental Findings
Finding: Class II(c) - Categorical Exclusions (C-List)
Class Level Description
Class II(c) consists of projects that do not have a significant environmental impact on the human or natural environment and are therefore categorically excluded from the requirement to prepare an environmental assessment or an environmental impact statement. FTA requires a sufficient project description to support a CE determination. The project may require additional documentation to comply with other environmental laws.
Categorical Exclusion Description
Type 07: Acquisition, installation, rehabilitation, replacement, and maintenance of vehicles or equipment, within or accommodated by existing facilities, that does not result in a change in functional use of the facilities, such as: equipment to be located within existing facilities and with no substantial off-site impacts; and vehicles, including buses, rail cars, trolley cars, ferry boats and people movers that can be accommodated by existing facilities or by new facilities that qualify for a categorical exclusion.

This activity was included in the 2025 FTIP, ID LA9919377, approved on 7/18/2024.
Bus Stop Improvements
Funding in this activity will be used to cover all eligible expenses related to not new construction but an upgrade of bus stop amenities. The bus stop improvements do not require excavation, nor the replacement of the cement base. Such bus stop improvements include purchasing fifteen (15) solar power pole signs and twenty-nine (29) bus shelter assemblies with overhead cover for bus stop enhancement.
The deployment of new solar power pole signs is a response to feedback from City of Commerce Transit users. According to City of Commerce Transit web traffic reports, approximately 8,500 riders each month request bus arrival times for the top 15 busiest bus stops. These stops have been identified as popular based on customer requests for live bus arrival information via the web, mobile phones, text messages, and phone calls. By implementing this technological upgrade, City of Commerce Transit aims to enhance the rider experience in direct response to the demand for bus arrival information at these 15 most-requested stops.
Additionally, we have identified 29 popular stops that would benefit from improvements to the bus shelters. Upgrading these stops will provide our customers with safer and more equitable access, ultimately improving their overall experience. The current shelter systems are over 15 years old and need replacement. Our new cantilever shelter design enhances the loading areas for customers, improves safety, and ensures ADA accessibility. Furthermore, the built-in solar lighting increases visibility and enhances passenger security.
0.75 Percent for Safety Requirement:
At least $5,346 of the project budget will support safe means of travel for the public, such as adequate lighting of the bus stops, which increases personal safety and visibility for passengers waiting for the bus.
Will 3rd Party contractors be used to fulfill this activity line item? Yes, 3rd Party Contractors will be used for this line item.
