File Number: 12-088 persons with disabilities, essentially doubling the funds available for targeted services for this important group. Funds are also committed to support transportation access to schools. The City of San Leandro will continue to receive funds to maintain its FLEX Shuttle service for MUMMA Major capital investments include upgrades to the existing BART system and a BART extension in the eastern part of the county, adding bus rapid transit routes to improve the efficiency of transit, and providing funding for rail transit investments such as the Capital Corridor rail and improvements across the Dumbarton Bridge. The following table shows the proposed funding details for this program. Transit & Specialized Transit (48%) $3,732 M (in millions) Mass Transit: Operations, Access to Schools, Maintenance & Safety Program $1,857 M Specialized Transit For Seniors and Persons with Disabilities $774 M Bus Transit Efficiency & Priority $35 M BART System Modernization & Expansion $710 M Regional Rail Enhancements & High Speed Rail Connections $355 M Local Streets and Roads (30%) Alameda County has more than 3,400 road miles of aging streets and roads, many of which are in need of repair. Intersections need to be reconfigured, traffic lights need to be synchronized, and pot holes need to be filled. Most importantly, these roads are essential to every mode of transportation. A total of 30% of the net revenue anticipated from this tax is dedicated to the improvement of local streets and roads (LSR). Streets and roads investments include two major components: a program that provides funding for local jurisdictions to maintain streets and roads, and a capital program that is focused on improving the performance of major commute routes and bridges throughout the county, including enhancing seismic safety of local bridges. The Streets and Roads program in the Expenditure Plan involves shared responsibility: local cities and the County will set their road priorities within a framework that supports complete streets to serve all users and types of transportation, honors best practices and encourages agencies to work together. More specifically, streets and roads expenditures will be designed to benefit all modes of travel by improving safety, accessibility, and convenience for all users of the street right-of-way, and 15% of these funds will support bicycle and pedestrian elements of streets and roads projects. The plan also focuses on important commute corridors that carry the majority of the driving public and cross city boundaries, ensuring enhanced cooperation and coordination between agencies. The City of San Leandro will continue to receive funds for local street maintenance and for a large scale street rehabilitation program. These funds will be allocated through the Alameda CTC Capital Improvement Program, which will be updated every two years and will allocate funding based upon geographic equity. The following table shows the proposed funding details for this program. City of San Leandro Page 5 Printed on 2/28/2012
