RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to apply for and accept on behalf of the County Grant Agreement #28-640-10 and ADOPT Resolution No. 2020/12 authorizing the County to request an allocation from Metropolitan Transportation Commission, in an amount not to exceed $40,000, for the County’s Bicycle and Pedestrian Safety Project for the period July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Acceptance of this Agreement will result in a total of $40,000 from Metropolitan Transportation Commission. ($11,745 County match)

BACKGROUND:

The County’s Bicycle and Pedestrian Safety Project goal is to provide safe walking and biking education by providing classroom education; assemblies, information tables, and school events; bicycle helmet distribution; educational materials; and facilitated bicycling and walking events. These funds will allow the County to provide 8 bicycle and pedestrian safety presentations to reach at least 150 third and fourth-grade students; 4 bicycle and pedestrian safety assemblies to reach at least 250 middle school students; 6 information tables to reach at least 300 middle school students; 5 campus events to reach at least 200 middle school students; 2-4 safe bicycling or walking events with school and community partners; and provide approximately 500 helmets to children of low-income families in Contra Costa County.

Approval of the Grant Agreement #28-640-10 will allow the County to provide bicycle and pedestrian education services through June 30, 2021.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this grant agreement is not accepted, the additional bicycle and pedestrian safety projects would be delayed or not carried out.
