File Number: 25-300 The FY 2025-2026 Annual Paratransit Plan is a one-year plan that outlines the eligible activities the City intends to undertake during the program year (July 1, 2025 - June 30, 2026) to address community needs and implement the strategies identified in the 2025-2026 City of San Leandro Annual Paratransit Program Plan. The Annual Plan details the specific activities the City plans to fund to address priority paratransit needs to support services for seniors aged 50 and older, as well as individuals with disabilities residing in San Leandro. As part of the Annual Paratransit Plan, the City must conduct a planning process to determine how Measure BB funds will be invested. As part of the effort, the City conducted a comprehensive community outreach process that was part of the City of San Leandro Age-Friendly Action Plan development process that included key stakeholder interviews, focus groups, promotional email blasts, website postings, social media outreach, a public comment period, and City Council and Senior Commission meetings where the public was able to provide comment. The survey was available in English, Spanish, Chinese, and Tagalog. The following six (6) priority areas were identified as the most pressing for attention, based on input collected directly from San Leandro residents: Plan Sustainability, Personal Protection, Housing Security, Health & Wellness, Social Connection, and Transportation. The Transportation Priority includes providing affordable reliable transportation that considers residents’ mobility and cognitive differences and personal needs.   Analysis The City of San Leandro submitted the proposed 2025-2026 Annual Paratransit Program Plan on February 28, 2025. The proposed plan went through the annual Program Plan Review process, which included a recommendation by Alameda CTC staff and approval by the Alameda County Paratransit Advisory and Planning Committee (PAPCO) on June 23, 2025. As part of the approved proposal, the City of San Leandro will have available $1,087,314 of Measure BB unspent funds from previous years, and an additional $755,589 in estimated new funds for fiscal Fiscal year Year 2025-2026, based on tax revenue projections from January 2025. In total, the City of San Leandro has $1,842,903 in Measure BB funds available for Fiscal Year 2025-2026. Based on findings from the planning process, staff prepared a funding plan for the City of San Leandro's 2025-2026 Annual Paratransit Plan. Services include FLEX Shuttle service, FLEX RIDES On-Demand concierge service, a door-through-door volunteer driver program, meal delivery, a senior emergency evacuation program, and a day trip program. Funding also supports staffing, operations, and fleet replacement costs. A total of $1,445,611 is allocated across these program areas. Staff anticipate a remaining balance of $397,292 Measure BB funds at the end of FY2025-2026. One of the needs identified in the planning process was expanding the FLEX RIDES Shuttle program from the current three days/ per week. During this upcoming year, a program study will be conducted to assess the need and sustainability of expanding the program to four or five days/ per week. Based on findings from this study, the remaining Measure BB funds may be used to pilot a program expansion.
