RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Health Services Director, or designee, to submit a One Bay Area Grant Cycle 2 (OBAG 2) Application, on behalf of the County, in an amount not to exceed $561,000, to the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC) and ADOPT Resolution No. 2017/306, authorizing the County to submit an application for federal funding under the West Contra Costa Walk and Bike Leaders (WABL) for Clean Air Project for the Safe Routes to School Program (SRTS).

FISCAL IMPACT:

This grant will provide up to $561,000 of Federal Department of Transportation funding to the County. A $73,000 County match is required, which will come from general funds budgeted in the Health Services Department.

BACKGROUND:

Funds awarded from the OBAG 2 Program will supplement the funding for the Injury Prevention and Physical Activity Promotion Program. OBAG 2 is a federally funded program which is administered by the MTC. MTC is the transportation planning, financing and coordinating agency for the nine county San Francisco Bay Area. OBAG 2 encompasses several grant programs such as Safe Route to School (SRTS), Transportation for Livable Communities (TLC), Pedestrian, Bicycle and Trail Facilities (PBTF).

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If this resolution of local support is not approved for the OBAG 2 application it may jeopardize a potential funding source.
