Tehama County Transit Agency approves March claims and gets $1.5M update for seven new bus shelters
Summary
At its April 27 meeting, the Tehama County Transit Agency board approved routine minutes and $264,695.12 in March claims by voice vote and heard a staff update that $1.5 million was awarded to bundle seven ADA-compliant bus shelters, including work to address standing water at a stop near Lake California Drive.
The Tehama County Transit Agency board met Monday, April 27, 2026, approved routine minutes and agency claims by voice vote and received a staff update that $1.5 million has been awarded to a bundled shelter project covering seven stops.
The meeting opened with Chair calling for public comment; none was offered before a participant asked about a frequently flooded bus stop on Lake California Drive near the Shasta–Tehama county line. The participant said drivers had been waiting in the rain and that a recurring pool of water made passenger access difficult.
Staff member said the agency will bundle seven shelters into an upcoming Red Bluff project and that funding had been secured. “We were awarded 1 and a half million dollars for 5 shelters and some additional funding for the Rio and Walnut project,” the staff member said, adding that the Cottonwood project was added to the bundle so the work could be done at the same time. The staff member said the shelters will be ADA compliant with poured pads and that the project team will try to “get rid of the lake and put some sort of foundation under there” to prevent recurring standing water.
A board member thanked staff for the update. The board then moved on to routine business: a board member moved to waive the reading and approve minutes from March 23, 2026; the motion was seconded and carried by voice vote with no questions or comments.
The board proceeded to consider the agency’s claims for March 2026. Chair presented claims totaling $264,695.12 and moved their approval; a board member seconded, and the motion carried by voice vote. No individual roll-call votes were recorded in the transcript.
The meeting concluded with no additions to future agendas and adjournment at 9:14 a.m.
