LTF may be used for a broad range of transportation improvements including local roads, public transit, as well as bicycle and pedestrian improvements. Over the past several years, the City has used these funds for various projects including the Lathrop Road widening project, street sidewalk improvements, and slurry seal/ pavement repairs to roads in various areas. Starting with this year' sclaim, the City will use funds from the transit set -aside to fund Lathrop Transit operational activities.
For Fiscal Year 2025/6the total LTF funds that are available for the City amount to 8, 390, 298, which includes a prior year carryover amount of $3, 067, 944. The City' s proposed LTF expenditures total $ 3, 977, 702 leaving an unclaimed or surplus balance of $4,12, 597. The projects identified for each of the LTF expenditure categories can be found in the notes section of Table 1.
