The Shasta Regional Transportation Agency (SRTA) is proposing changes to its Conflict of Interest policy to comply with updates from Senate Bill 852, effective January 1, 2026.

SRTA’s executive director and chief fiscal officer now fall under this requirement. The proposed changes also aim to clarify and align the policy with applicable regulations. The Fiscal & Policy Committee reviewed the changes and supports the staff recommendation. There is no fiscal impact from these changes.

The Shasta Regional Transportation Agency (SRTA) is considering contributing $497,157 in Low Carbon Transit Operations Program (LCTOP) funds for Fiscal Year 2025/26 to the Redding Area Bus Authority (RABA). These funds are meant for projects that reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve mobility. RABA requested $140,000 for free and reduced rides and $357,157 for expanded microtransit. Staff reviewed these projects and found them consistent with SRTA's LCTOP policy. They recommend that the board approve the funds and adopt Resolution 26-09, which allows the executive director to act as the authorized agent for these funds. The RABA board approved submitting the project applications, which are due to Caltrans by October 30, 2026. The board may choose to decline contributing funds and suggest different projects that meet LCTOP criteria. The Fiscal & Policy Committee reviewed the projects and concurred with the staff recommendations. Adopting Resolution 26-09 allows funds to flow directly to RABA for use, should the projects be approved for funding.

The Shasta Regional Transportation Agency (SRTA) got draft audit reports for Fiscal Year (FY) 2024/25 from Davis Farr LLP on September 17, 2026. The audit found two big problems with SRTA's financial controls. First, SRTA's accounting system has limits and does not keep a balanced set of accounts for each government fund. Second, SRTA hired an accounting clerk but did not fix the issue of separating duties. The financial statements show SRTA’s financial position fairly, following accepted accounting rules. The Single Audit results were good, with no issues found in SRTA’s major federal program. The delay in submitting the audit reports caused the State Controller’s Office to hold back FY 2025/26 fourth-quarter and FY 2026/27 first-quarter State Transit Assistance (STA) payments. SRTA staff is working on fixing these problems. The SRTA Board of Directors is asked to approve the FY 2024/25 financial statements and audit reports, direct staff to submit the reports to the State Controller’s Office and other agencies, and review staff’s plan to fix the audit findings.

The Shasta Regional Transportation Agency (SRTA) is considering a proposal to develop a comprehensive safety action plan and safety campaign. This effort aims to improve safety for people and freight in the region, aligning with Goals 1 and 8 of the Regional Transportation Plan. The proposal suggests applying for a Sustainable Communities Planning Grant to fund this initiative. Over the past decade, there have been 2,037 crashes in the region, resulting in 71 fatalities and 2,668 injuries, 380 of them serious. The planning effort will analyze traffic safety data to identify high-risk areas and contributing factors for crashes. It will also develop a prioritized list of safety improvement projects and a safety education campaign. If the grant is awarded, work is expected to begin in fall 2027 and finish by June 2030. The board of directors is asked to provide input on the draft scope of work and direct staff to apply for the grant. If successful, SRTA will form a project advisory committee with regional partners to assist with the effort. A local match of 11.47 percent of the total project cost will be required, which can be provided through a combination of state and local planning funds.
