RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CHULA
VISTA OPPOSING A REDUCTION IN FEDERAL TRANSIT
OPERATING ASSISTANCE
WHEREAS, the Clinton Administration's budget for FY 1995 proposes a reduction in
transit operating assistance of 25 percent, with further reductions planned for future years;
and,
WHEREAS, the San Diego region is already projecting a significant shortfall and may
result in the following impacts:
WHEREAS, a reduction in federal operating assistance would add to this shortfall and
may result in the following impacts:
efforts to implement the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act and Clean
Air Act would be severely hampered;
higher fares and reduced service may become necessary, undercutting transit
operators' ability to increase ridership;
lower transit ridership would result in increased traffic congestion, fuel consumption,
and air pollution; and
unemployment may increase, further damaging the local economy which has been
severely impacted by the lingering recession.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Chula Vista
does hereby oppose a reduction in Federal Transit Operating Assistance and requests that the
San Diego region congressional delegation take action to strongly resist any reductions in
federal transit operating assistance.
