"welfare to work" funds can be used by AC Transit for service restoration and expansion or <br />implementation of improved bus service to facilitate travel to and from work. AC Transit will <br />prioritize the restoration and development of new services to meet the employment- related transit <br />needs of low - income residents in northern and central Alameda County. <br />Additionally, these funds may be used, at the determination of AC Transit, to provide subsidies <br />of regular bus fares for individuals living in northern and central Alameda County who are <br />transferring from welfare to work as well as those who are economically disadvantaged. In the <br />event that sufficient funds are otherwise available to AC Transit to meet these needs then <br />"welfare to work" funds can be used for other general passenger service purposes in northern and <br />central Alameda County. <br />AC Transit will work together with and actively seek input from bus riders, business leaders, <br />mayors and other elected officials in San Leandro, Hayward, and the unincorporated areas in <br />Central Alameda County to ensure that the additional transit funds in Central County are used for <br />bus improvements such as night, weekend, and more frequent service, connections to residential <br />growth areas, and access to major employment centers, including enhancement of east -west <br />corridors. <br />AC Transit will continue to provide transit service similar to the Department of Labor - funded <br />shuttle to and from job sites in East and West Oakland, as needed. AC Transit, the County, the <br />City of Oakland, the Port of Oakland and other entities will look for additional money from <br />outside sources to fund the service. If needed, a portion of the proceeds from the reauthorization <br />of Measure B may be used. <br />Refer to Mass Transit Program Implementation Guidelines for program and project eligibility <br />fund usage, and requirements. <br />
