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 updating its Conflict of Interest policy to follow a new state law, Senate Bill 852, which starts on January 1, 2026. This law says certain officials must file a Form 700 with the Fair Political Practices Commission (FPPC) instead of the local agency. SRTA's board members, executive director, and chief fiscal officer must now file this form with the FPPC every year. The policy changes aim to follow state rules. Staff and legal experts reviewed the policy and suggested more edits for clarity and consistency. The board can ask for more information or delay the decision, but this might make it hard to meet the Shasta County Clerk's reporting deadline. SRTA will work with the FPPC and the Shasta County Clerk to put the changes in place once approved. The Fiscal & Policy Committee looked at the proposal on September 21, 2026. There is no cost to act on this item.

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.

The Shasta Regional Transportation Agency (SRTA) is looking at giving money to the Redding Area Bus Authority (RABA) for the Fiscal Year 2025/26 Low Carbon Transit Operations Program (LCTOP). The LCTOP has $497,157 to help projects that cut down on greenhouse gases and make it easier to get around. RABA wants this money for running costs, like free and cheaper bus rides and more microtransit services. Staff checked the projects and suggest giving the money. The RABA board will meet on September 21, 2026, to talk about the project requests, which need to go to Caltrans by October 30, 2026. The SRTA board is asked to approve the funds and pass Resolution 26-09, which lets the executive director handle these funds. The LCTOP program gives money to transit projects that follow certain rules, and the RABA projects fit these rules. Giving this money will help support bus services that help the community by cutting down on emissions and making it easier to get around.

The Shasta Regional Transportation Agency (SRTA) FY 2024-25 Audit Opinion Draft is a budget report. Independent auditors checked SRTA's financial records for the year ending June 30, 2025. They found that, except for some issues with government fund records, the financial statements showed SRTA's true financial situation. SRTA's internal records did not have a self-balancing set of accounts for each fund. This made it hard for the auditors to confirm if assets, liabilities, revenues, expenditures, and transfers were properly recorded and classified. Still, the auditors believe they have enough evidence to give their qualified audit opinion. The financial statements include changes from past periods and follow Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 101. These changes do not affect the auditors' opinion. The report also says that SRTA management is in charge of making accurate financial statements and keeping internal controls. The auditors' job was to make sure the statements were correct and to give their opinion. They did not give an opinion on other supplementary information or internal control effectiveness.

This is a draft of the Shasta Regional Transportation Agency's (SRTA) Single Audit Report for the year ending June 30, 2025. It looks at the agency's finances and how well it follows federal rules. The auditors did not find big problems with how the agency followed federal programs. But they did find two big issues with the agency's internal financial controls. One issue was errors in the accounting records and financial reports. This happened because the agency's accounting system only handles one fund, but the agency has three. The other issue was a lack of separation of duties for journal entries. This raises the chance of mistakes or bad entries going unnoticed. The auditors suggest the agency improve its year-end closing steps and set up a separate review and approval process for journal entries. The agency agreed with these suggestions. The report also shows the agency spent $1,589,079 on federal awards for the year.

This document is a draft from the Shasta Regional Transportation Agency (SRTA) Board of Directors to SRTA's management and Board. It talks about an audit of the SRTA's financial statements for the year ending June 30, 2025. An independent auditor did the audit to make sure the financial statements were fair and followed accounting rules. The auditor found some big risks, like following federal and state grant rules, recognizing revenue, and making sure managers didn't ignore controls. The audit also looked at SRTA's accounting policies and estimates, especially those for pensions and other post-employment benefits (OPEB). The auditor did not find any unusual transactions or sensitive estimates that needed special attention. There were no disagreements with management during the audit, and all mistakes found were fixed. However, the auditor found a big mistake in the previous year's financial statements about how fund balances were classified. This led to a qualified opinion on the audit report because the accounting system could not balance each fund's accounts. The report is only for the Board and management.
