RECOMMENDATION(S):

ADOPT Resolution No. 2009/170 approving and authorizing the recommendation of the Public Works Director, or designee, for allocating the Transportation Development Act, Article 3 Funds for bicycle and pedestrian projects for Fiscal Year 2009/2010 and DIRECT the Public Works Director, or designee, to forward the list to the Metropolitan Transportation Commission for final approval and allocation of funding effective July 1, 2009, Countywide.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No impact to the General Fund.

BACKGROUND:

Article 3 of the Transportation Development Act (TDA), Public Utilities Code (PUC) Section 99200 et seq., authorizes the submission of claims to a regional transportation planning agency for the funding of projects exclusively for the benefit and/or use of pedestrians and bicyclists. The Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC), as the regional transportation planning agency for the San Francisco Bay region, has adopted MTC Resolution No. 875, Revised, which delineates procedures and criteria for submission of requests for the allocation of TDA Article 3 funds. Each claimant whose project or projects have been prioritized for inclusion in the fiscal year, TDA Article 3 countywide coordinated claim is required to submit a resolution from its governing body to MTC requesting an allocation of TDA Article 3 funds.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Failure to approve the recommendation and forward the list will eliminate a potential funding source.
