Alameda CTC Mass Transit Program Implementation Guidelines <br />a. The VRF Expenditure Plan dedicates 25 percent of net revenues for transit projects <br />that provide congestion relief. Alameda CTC awards VRF Transit for Congestion <br />Relief Grant Program funds on a discretionary basis. These funds are intended to <br />make it easier for drivers to use public transportation, make the existing transit system <br />more efficient and effective, and improve access to schools and jobs. The goal of this <br />program is to decrease automobile usage and thereby reduce both localized and area - <br />wide congestion and air pollution. Fund recipients must enter into a separate <br />agreement with Alameda CTC. <br />b. Eligible Uses: VRF Transit for Congestion Relief Grant Program Guidelines provide <br />program eligibility and fund usage guidelines and requirements, definitions of terms, <br />evaluation criteria, award details, and monitoring requirements. <br />Section 6. Advancement of Direct Local Distribution Funds <br />A. The Alameda CTC may consider advancing future year DLD funds, with the goal of seeing <br />improvements made in the near term. If a jurisdiction is interested in this option, a written request to <br />the Alameda CTC Director of Finance and Administration and a copy to the Deputy Director of <br />Projects and Programs, indicating the amount of funds requested and the projects on which the funds <br />will be spent, is required. Requests will be considered on an individual basis. <br />Section 7. Adoption of Implementation Guidelines <br />A. Implementation Guidelines are adopted by the Alameda CTC on an as -needed basis. Changes to <br />Implementation Guidelines will be brought through the Alameda CTC's Technical Advisory <br />Committee for review and comment, as well as any other Alameda CTC committees as necessary, <br />before changes are adopted by the Alameda CTC Commission. <br />Transit - 5 <br />
