Alameda CTC Bicycle and Pedestrian Safety Program Implementation Guidelines <br />P. Operations: Provision of services that operate transportation facilities and programs. Operations costs do <br />not include the costs to operate community outreach or other programs not directly related to a specific <br />transportation service, program, or product. <br />Q. Direct Local Distribution Funds: Funds are allocated based upon a funding formula (such as population, <br />registered vehicles, roadmiles, or a combination thereof) defined in a voter approved measure and provided <br />to eligible jurisdictions on a regularly schedule basis (such as a regular monthly payment). <br />R. Planning: Identification of project and program current conditions and needs and development of <br />strategies and plans to address the identified needs. <br />S. Project Completion/Closeout: Inspection/project acceptance, final invoicing, final reporting, and <br />processes for closing out project. <br />T. Scoping and Project Feasibility: Early capital project phases that identify project needs, costs and <br />implementation feasibility. <br />U. Vehicle Registration Fee (VRF): Measure F, Alameda County's VRF Program, approved by the voters in <br />November 2010 with 63 percent of the vote. It will generate approximately $12 million per year through a <br />$10 per year vehicle registration fee. Administered by the Alameda CTC, the VRF funds four main types of <br />programs (with the funding distribution noted in parenthesis): local streets and roads (60 percent); transit <br />(25 percent); local transportation technology (10 percent); and bicycle and pedestrian projects (5 percent). <br />Section 5. Bicycle and Pedestrian Safety Fund Allocations <br />A. These implementation Guidelines provide guidance on two types of Bicycle and Pedestrian Safety <br />allocation processes for Measure B and Measure BB funds: 1) Direct Local Distribution funds and <br />grants. <br />1. Bicycle and Pedestrian Direct Local Distribution (DLD) Funds <br />a. General- The Bicycle and Pedestrian DLD Funds are distributed to cities in the county <br />and to Alameda County to be spent on planning and construction of bicycle and <br />pedestrian projects, and the development and implementation of bicycle and <br />pedestrian programs. These funds are intended to expand and enhance bicycle and <br />pedestrian facilities in Alameda County, focusing on high priority projects like gap <br />closures and intermodal connections. <br />For Measure B, the DLD funds constitute seventy-five percent of the total Measure B <br />bicycle/pedestrian funds. For Measure BB, three percent of total net Measure BB <br />revenues are identified for the Measure BB bicycle/pedestrian DLD program. Each <br />city and Alameda County will receive their proportional share of the DLD based on <br />population over the life of the Measure (which share shall be adjusted annually as <br />described in the Master Programs Funding Agreement). These funds are allocated on <br />a monthly basis directly to each city and the County. <br />b. Eligible Uses: The Measure B and Measure BB Bicycle/Pedestrian DLD funds may be <br />used for capital projects, programs, or plans that directly address bicycle and <br />pedestrian access, convenience, safety, and usage. Eligible uses for these funds <br />include, but are not necessarily limited to: <br />1) Capital Projects, including: <br />a. New pedestrian facilities (e.g. sidewalks, curb ramps, countdown <br />signals, accessible signals) <br />b. Improvements to existing pedestrian facilities <br />Bicycle/Pedestrian - 3 <br />
