These operations, maintenance, and capital projects were <br />guided by the principles of enhancing safety, convenience, and reliability to maximize the <br />number of people who can use the transit system. <br />By doubling the amount of local sales tax funds available for transit operations and <br />maintenance, this plan represents a major investment in Alameda County's transit system to <br />increase transit services and expand access to transit throughout the County, and to help <br />avoid further service cuts while preserving the affordability of transit. <br />Affordable Transit for Youth, Seniors and People with Disabilities <br />Investment in an Affordable Student Transit Pass Program and innovative grant funds for <br />successful student and innovative transit programs will support affordable access to schools <br />for students and youth in Alameda County. Investments in city -based and federally mandated <br />para -transit services from AC Transit, East Bay Paratransit and BART, along with coordination <br />and service grants, will provide affordable transit for seniors and people with disabilities. <br />By doubling the amount of local sales tax funds available for transit service and programs for <br />youth, seniors and people with disabilities, Alameda County is investing in its youth and <br />helping seniors and people with disabilities remain independent. <br />Traffic Relief on Streets and Highways <br />Alameda County has more than 3,400 road miles of aging city and County streets. These <br />streets are essential to cars, trucks, buses, bicycles, and pedestrians. Investing in local <br />streets maintenance and safety will fund much-needed repair, fix potholes, improve <br />intersections and improve the flow of traffic, including transit on our local roadways. Fifteen <br />percent of city and County streets funding will support bicycle and pedestrian improvements <br />on local streets to increase safety and accessibility, and to close gaps. <br />Highway investments focus on improving safety, relieving bottlenecks at interchanges, <br />improving on and off ramps, closing gaps, improving efficiency using modern technology, and <br />increasing safety on major truck route corridors. <br />Investments fund traffic relief, local bridge seismic safety, and direct allocations to the cities <br />City of San Leandro Page 4 Printed on 2125/2014 <br />
