The BAAQMD has allocated these funds to its <br />Transportation Fund for Clean Air (TFCA) program to fund eligible projects. The statutory <br />authority for the TFCA and requirements of the program are set forth in California Health and <br />Safety Code Sections 44241 and 44242. <br />Sixty percent (60%) of TFCA funds are directed to BAAQMD sponsored programs and <br />awarded directly by the BAAQMD through a competitive grant program known as the Regional <br />Fund. The remaining forty percent (40%) of TFCA funds are forwarded to the designated <br />agency within each Bay Area county and distributed by the county through the County <br />Program Manager program (see www.baagmd.gov/tfca4pm for details). <br />For fiscal year ended (FYE) 2014, $400,000 is available for distribution for electronic bicycle <br />locker projects. <br />City of San Leandro Page 1 Printed on 9/9/2014 <br />
